After the game, Bruce Cassidy pointed to the goal as a real difference maker.�
"Probably a different game if it's 1-0 coming out of the first. I do believe that," Cassidy said. "I'm not saying we would have won or lost. I'm not a mind reader. But I do believe it gave them a lot of juice for a period that they, if they looked at it objectively, should have felt they got outplayed. But they're up 2-0 on the scoreboard, and that's all that matters."
Marchand tried to explain the decision after the game.�
"I thought the player (Jaden Schwartz) was alone, but he obviously wasn't I'll never get over this. Still not over '13 yet. This hurts more than that. It's not something you ever forget.
"It's a heartbreaker," he added. "It's tough to describe. They just took our dream, our lifetime dream from us and everything we've worked for our entire lives. Sixty minutes away from that. You can't describe it."
