In the New York Rangers' eyes, Game 1 should've ended differently.
Head coach Alain Vigneault spoke to reporters postgame after dropping a 2-1 decision to the Ottawa Senators, where he said he felt the winning goal by Erik Karlsson shouldn't have counted due to a potential icing call.
"We felt that on their winning goal there should have been an icing," Vigneault said. "When we look at it and look at the angles that we get we think it should have been icing, but at the end of the day you got to play and you got to do more than we did tonight to win."
It's a questionable play that occurred with 4:51 remaining in regulation when Karlsson fired a shot that looked to be tipped into the Rangers' zone by forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau - the Rangers obviously arguing that Pageau didn't touch the puck.

Ultimately, the play would go uncalled and 50 seconds later Karlsson put the winning goal past Henrik Lundqvist.
