Lundqvist claims conspiracy by 'someone' after Sens' late goal is upheld

Henrik Lundqvist may soon be lighter in the wallet because of his postgame comments Monday.
The New York Rangers goaltender roundly criticized officials for allowing an Ottawa Senators goal late in the third period to stand after a video review. He said the decision was made to help get the Senators back in the game.

The goal, credited to Jason Spezza following a goalmouth scramble, cut the Rangers’ lead to 3-2 with 39 seconds to play. Senators forward Chris Neil, who was in the crease, appeared to swing his foot at the puck as it neared the goal line. The league later said that replays were inconclusive as to whether Neil’s skate “propelled the puck into the net.”
"Oh, my God. It scares me," Lundqvist said, according to NHL.com. "It's such an obvious play—goalie interference and a kick. And they still call it a goal. It scares me that someone can call that. It's unbelievable. It still upsets me because we had this game, then they get a chance. Someone wants them back in the game, obviously, because there's no other explanation."
The top-seeded Rangers held on for the victory, which tied the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at three games apiece. Game 7 will be Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
