Gabriel Landeskog Scores and Decries Disallowed Kicking Goal

Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog scored in the second period against the Dallas Stars but voiced strong frustration over a controversial first-period goal overturned for a 'distinct kicking motion.' Landeskog argued that in real speed, he was merely reacting instinctively to a deflection off his knee and couldn't possibly have consciously kicked the puck. The Avalanche ultimately fell 3-2 in a shootout, leaving the captain questioning the consistency of NHL replay reviews.
