I fully understand why they did it, it is just disappointing that it happened when it did.

I think that's a problem with sports nowadays is the lack of sportsmanship, so the handshake/"Good Game" line was great to see.

It is done after special games like this and at the end of a playoff series.

I do agree, as Detroit had a good scoring chance & the play should have been allowed to finish. The Referee could of used a delayed signal so the play could develop/finish.

It really needs to be done after every game, no matter what.
