Chicago Blackhawks fans are livid after highly questionable goal
Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks took on the the Dallas Stars in a Central Division showdown, and one goal in particular has fans up in arms.
The Dallas Stars opened up the scoring at 11:06 in the first period, sniping a sneaky wrist shot past goaltender Arvid Söderblom.
Despite Sam Steel's impressive scoring prowess on the play, fans are calling out the game's officiating crew, stating that the goal shouldn't have counted.
As seen on X (formally known as twitter) the slow motion replay clearly shows the camera cord dangling from the hole, making unquestionable contact with the puck.
In addition to the fan frustration towards the officiating crew, Blackhawks s enthusiasts seem to be confused as to why head coach Luke Richardson failed to challenge the questionable goal in the first place.
The slow motion replay shows the puck made contact with a foreign object on the ice, and it was a blatant miss by the referee's and the Blackhawks video coaches.
To add insult to injury, The Blackhawks ultimately fell short to the Dallas Stars by a score a 3-1, now riding a two game losing streak.
The Chicago Blackhawks will look to bounce back when they the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.
