NHL/Maple Leafs.

Thank you for the link. What a fluke shot!.

I grew up in Norfolk with the old Virginia Red Wings in the AHL (yes, a Detroit farm team). It failed some years later and was followed by a series of more minor league teams such as the Sharks. It is good to see Norfolk back in the AHL and doing well.

This is why you play a 7 game series. The better team always comes out on top. When you lose by a fluke goal like this, you still have other chances to come back and win games. That being said, Norfolk played better in games 1 and 2 from the highlights that I saw. Toronto can't expect to not play their best hockey in games 1 and 2 and expect to win the cup. Just my opinion.

Everything is going right for the Admirals this year. I live in the area and there's been a decent buzz about the team. We don't have any pro teams in the area so the minor league teams make headlines around here.

AHL released a statement saying the goal shouldn't have counted, but the by-laws say they can't change the outcome of the game.

Imagine if this bad call had have won the series.
Good thing bad officiating has never helped a team win the Cup in overtime...more than once.

Didn't even notice the offside the first time I watched it, then they came out and said the goal shouldn't of counted. Watched it again and saw the offside.

Talk about a bad break, and a s***TY way to lose a game. I think that goal is the one that officially broke the donkey's back. Talk about adding salt in the wound too with that offsides call. Ouch.
