Colorado Avalanche's first goal of the series sparks major controversy amongst fans

Artturi Lehkonen was the first person to score for the Colorado Avalanche against the Dallas Stars, and his goal has sparked some controversy that could change the entire series.

This is the second straight year the Avalanche and Stars are meeting in each other in the playoffs, but this time they are doing it in the first round instead of the second round.

The Dallas Stars hold home ice advantage as they ended up finishing above the Colorado Avalanche in the standings and game one took place in American Airlines Center. After a scoreless first period, the Avalanche ended up scoring a goal that led to some controversy.

Artturi Lehkonen ended up shooting the puck at Jake Oettinger, who gave up a pretty juicy rebound. Lehkonen was being tied up by a Stars player, and toppled over to the ice, but in the process his skate made contact with the puck, and ended up going in the net because of it.

The officials ended up reviewing the play, and determined that Lehkonen did not have a distinct kicking motion, and it stood as a good goal.

Since then there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the goal, and fans have been going back and forth over the call.

At the end of the day, the call was made, and there is no way to go back and change the call. Obviously it wasn't as bad as some think it is because the officials ruled it as a goal.
