Islanders blast ‘f–king embarrassing’ late call in loss that could haunt them in tight playoff race
NY Post
All year long, the Islanders have been vexed by the way goaltender interference is called.
On Monday night, they were furious.
On Monday night, they saw a regulation win turn into a shootout loss on one of the most questionable calls of the season, as Kyle Palmieri’s game-winner with 8.9 seconds left in regulation was waved off — giving way to a 4-3 Blue Jackets victory in the skills competition and a raging mad Islanders dressing room.
“I think it was f–king embarrassing,” Palmieri said. “Couldn’t disagree more with the call.”
“I don’t think anyone in this room agrees with this decision,” Alexander Romanov told The Post.
Coach Patrick Roy went as far as to call the NHL’s situation room in Toronto “afraid” to overturn calls made on the ice.

The Knicks won’t be raising a banner to the rafters at Madison Square Garden to commemorate their victory in the 2025 NBA Cup, and you can count your humble narrator among the faction that wishes they’d chosen differently. I’m not quite sure when it became mandatory to rinse as much fun out of sports as possible, but we’re sure trying.
