Sidney Crosby blames the NHL helmet rule for game 7 loss
After Game 7, there was a ton of talk coming from the Penguins.
Rangers forward Alexis Lafreniere and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson got tangled up behind the net.
The incident appears to show clearly that Lafreniere removed Pettersson's helmet from his head.
That move would force Pettersson to leave the ice and would subsequently have a major impact on the play. Eventually, seconds after, Panarin went on to score.
"That terrible rule ends up probably being the difference in the game."
Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan was even more pissed than Crosby.
"I think it stinks," said Sullivan when asked how he felt about the rule. "He has to come off, his helmet got pulled off intentionally but that's the rule."
