The Panthers have crawled all the way back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a game seven against the Bruins, but there was some controversy in game six.

Controversial Call

With Boston down 2-1 coming into the second period, they brought all the pressure, tying it on a beautiful between-the-legs goal by David Pastrnak. Moments later, the Bruins took a 3-2 lead on a Brandon Carlo goal, or so they thought.

Florida head coach Paul Maurice used his challenge for a ''missed stoppage of play'' prior to the goal, which was in reference to a hand pass by Jake DeBrusk. See below:

Here's another look:

Technically, it is a hand pass as it does touch DeBrusk's glove (accidentally) before Patrice Bergeron picks up the puck. However, it was significantly prior, and it had no effect on the outcome of the play.
