Two blatantly awful penalties called against Washington in the first period of Sunday’s Game 2 against Tampa Bay cost the Caps two early goals. Replay shows that no penalties should have been called against Washington, and one should have been called against Tampa Bay.
The first came against Tom Wilson, who was driving the net and being hooked from behind by Chris Kunitz. With Kunitz on him as he missed the centering pass, Wilson jumped to the right to avoid a collision with the goalie, knocking the net off before he was called for goaltender interference.
