Mike Fisher Says Disallowed Goal in Game 6 vs. Penguins Was 'Tough'

Nashville Predators fans will remember the disallowed goal in Game 6 for years, but captain Mike Fisher was understanding after the game.

"Yeah, it's tough...but that's sports," he said, per John Shannon of Sportsnet. "And there's human error in every sport...it wasn't on purpose."

The play in question came in the second period of a scoreless battle against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Colton Sissons appeared to have the go-ahead goal off a rebound into an open net. Unfortunately, the official inadvertently blew the whistle, stopping action before the score could count.

NHL on NBC captured the non-goal:

The game remained scoreless until Patric Hornqvist came through with the game-winner for Pittsburgh in what became a 2-0 victory. The Penguins were able to celebrate their second straight Stanley Cup title while the Predators saw their season come to an end.

It's unknown what would have happened if the goal had counted, but the "what if" could remain a focus for this team for some time.
