Controversy early in Flyers and Capitals game this evening

Buckle up, hockey fans... we've got a good old fashioned blown call from NHL officials this evening.

In the most important game of the season for both the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals, referee Kelly Sutherland blew the play down while the puck was still in play and before it entered the Capitals' net.

Caps goalie Charlie Lindgren made a save and the puck bounced high up in the air, but Sutherland must have thought that Lindgren had the puck in his possession because he blew the play down. The puck then fell from the air and landed behind Lindgren and into the open net. 

Check it out:

The play was reviewed but Sutherland ruled that because the 'play wasn't continuous' that the goal could not be allowed. I honestly didn't know this rule, but I guess if an official blows the play down by mistake and the puck carries into the net then it's a good goal? Honestly... I'm not sure.

What I do know though is that Flyers fans are PISSED. After all, their entire season can hang on the balance of that one blown call.
