Non-Call Loses Moose the Game

A non-call in the overtime period was the deciding factor in the Halifax Mooseheads game against the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada on Sunday evening. Less than a minute into extra time, Anthony Poulin put a rebound into a partial empty net to get the win for the away team seconds after the referees decided not to call a penalty for too many men on Blainville. The Armada had control of the puck while they were about to change players which the whole Mooseheads bench were screaming was too many men and while it was initially called a penalty by linesman Chris Ivanko, the other black & white stripes overturned his call. Arnaud Durandeau got the home team on the board first, a little over 9 minutes into the 1st period scoring a goal on the power play. Two minutes later Blainville tied it up on the power play. It was back and fourth in the second period and Durandeau put the good guys in front again close to the end of the frame. In the third it was an exciting period with lots of chances, pretty good saves and five goals.
