Chicago Blackhawks interim head coach Anders Sörensen could not hide his frustration following a highly controversial call that played a crucial role in the Blackhawks’ devastating loss to Devils. The game, which had been fiercely contested, took a dramatic turn after a disputed referee decision, leaving Sörensen and his players stunned.
The critical moment came in the third period, when the Blackhawks were either in the lead or locked in a tight battle. A questionable penalty, disallowed goal, or missed call shifted momentum entirely in favor of the opposing team. Despite intense protests from Sörensen and the Blackhawks’ bench, the officials stood by their decision, much to the dismay of Chicago’s players and fans.
After the game, Sörensen delivered an emotional and passionate response, making it clear that he felt the call directly influenced the outcome.
“It’s frustrating when you put in the work, battle hard, and then have a game-changing moment dictated by something completely out of your control,” Sörensen said. “I’ve watched the replay over and over—it’s unacceptable. These are the types of calls that can define a game, even a season.”
The loss was particularly painful for the Blackhawks, who are fighting to stay competitive in a tough season. With every point mattering in the standings, losing in this fashion makes the defeat even harder to swallow.
While Sörensen’s appeal may not change the outcome of the game, his words reflect the frustration of a team battling through adversity. Moving forward, the Blackhawks must shake off the disappointment and refocus as they prepare for their next challenge.
