The Pittsburgh Penguins deserve a great deal of credit for pulling out a win this evening without both their captain Sidney Crosby, as well as Conor Sheary, but you also can't blame fans in Washington for not being happy about how this one ended.

In the final minutes of the third period, Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie was called for a high-stick, but the problem is there was no high-stick, but instead a rather blatant dive from Nick Bonino.

The slow motion replay clearly shows that this was nothing but an acting job for Bonino, and it's a shame that such a great game had to come down to such an unfortunate call from the NHL officials. 

Here's a look at the replay, and as you can see, there's no defending this one.
