It has been days since the Golden Knights’ Cody Eakin was sent off for five minutes for cross-checking San Jose’s Joe Pavelski midway through the third period.
It still was a terrible call.
The bitter taste lingers.
But one of these years, Golden Knights fans — and the front office, coaches and players — may acknowledge that the team’s penalty killing unit was at least partly to blame for a 5-4 meltdown in Game 7 of a hair-raising first-round playoff series.
It hasn’t happened yet.
Still too many other people with whom to be upset before looking in a mirror.
