Predators' Fisher on pivotal disallowed goal in Game 6: 'That's sports'
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
Unfortunately for the Nashville Predators, it happened at the worst possible time.
Colton Sissons appeared to open the scoring in Game 6, but the goal was waved off following a very premature whistle from the referee. Nashville went on to lose the game and the Stanley Cup, and the Predators would have been justified in having a bad taste in their mouths.

Captain Mike Fisher, though, was saying all the right things after the disappointing loss.
A very graceful Mike Fisher on the goal that should've counted. "That's sports." Said human error is a part of it.

Fisher, by the way, finished the playoffs with zero goals on 34 shots in 20 games.
