(SportsNetwork. Custom Nashville Predators Jerseys .com) - At the end of the day, the call was right and the rule is wrong, but the only process that really mattered on Sunday was the one where Mike Pereira became a bigger story line than Aaron Rodgers or Dez Bryant. Rodgers was nearly perfect on two late scoring drives and his 316 yards passing on a partially torn left calf helped the Green Bay Packers rally from their first Lambeau Field deficit since Week 2 to top the Dallas Cowboys, 26-21, and reach the NFC title game. Those facts bury the lead, though, as Bryant hauled in a catch for the ages late in the game on a 4th-and-2 play from the Green Bay 32, climbing over Sam Shields in circus-like fashion to seemingly put the Cowboys at the 1-yard line, inches away from taking the lead. After review, however, referee Gene Steratore, with help from New York and noted Jerry Jones party bus inhabitant Dean Blandino, ruled that Bryant did not complete the process of the catch, a nod to the so-called Calvin Johnson Rule because Bryant did indeed bobble the football after slamming it on the ground while reaching for the end zone. Sorry @dallascowboys, the Lions organization wrote on Twitter after the play. We know the feeling: #CompletingTheProcess. The irony was strong on all sides because the Cowboys were the recipient of an advantageous non-call on a potential pass interference call last week against the Lions, a development that helped Dallas earn the trip to Lambeau in the first place. This time, by the letter of NFL law at least, the Zebras got it right. Bryant going to the ground. By rule he must hold onto it throughout entire process of contacting the ground, Blandino, the NFLs vice president of officiating, wrote on Twitter. He didnt so it is incomplete. Of course Bryants effort for the ages was a catch in the minds of everyone except those wearing Green and Gold glasses and the NFL, a league hamstrung by over-legislation in which common sense is replaced by five people on the face of the planet who have the ability to explain this nonsense while keeping a straight face. The rest of us learned at a very young age that what Bryant accomplished on Sunday in Green Bay was one hell of a catch -- one that would make Jerry Rice, Randy Moss or Odell Beckham Jr. proud. I by no means cheer for Dallas but I have no idea what or how thts (sic) not called a catch, OBJ tweeted. Thts (sic) a joke. Enter Pereira, the former VP of officiating for the league that now makes his living as a rules analyst. FOX was forced to lead its post-game coverage of the contest with Pereira instead of the brilliance of the injured A-Rod or Dez. And thats a shame as another playoff game is going to be remembered for a good man (Steratore) properly officiating a dumb rule which defies common sense. Ive long argued that the very existence of people like Pereira should highlight the problem. Think about it, are there rules analysts dotting the telecasts of NBA or MLB games? Of course not because there is no need for them. You might argue so and so made a bad call in a particular game but the rules in those sports are straight forward and dont need tortured explanations from people with a PhD in contradiction. In football we have Pereira or Mike Carey to tell us that DeMarco Murray can perform the exact same action as a runner and its Cowboys ball at the one. On the other hand, a receiver like Bryant has to turn from acrobat to running back in one fell swoop before completing the play by holding tightly on the football because the ground can indeed cause a fumble for a pass catcher. A technicality not only ruined a great play, it stained the legacy of a tremendous football game. To his credit Cowboys coach Jason Garrett took the high road after the game, saying he thought it was a catch but This game wasnt about officiating we had 60 minutes to win. Bryant was predictably upset. What am I supposed to do? Im just reaching for the goal line. I dont understand, he said. Im begging them: Please, please, please take that rule out. Dez may get his wish. A trip to the NFC Championship Game or a permanent position on NFL Films greatest plays list might be preferable but this controversy could serve as the impetus for change. After all the only rule worse than this one in the NFL may be the leagues self-imposed degree that ignores proactive measures in favor of reactive ones. Pekka Rinne Jersey .

The Kings won their second Stanley Cup title in three seasons last spring, but 2014-15 has been something of a struggle for Darryl Sutters club. That has been particularly true on the road, where Los Angeles is just 4-6-5 this season. L.A. has managed to post just one win on its current five-game swing, going 1-2-1 so far on the trip. The Kings have lost the last two tilts, getting slammed 6-2 in Montreal on Friday before falling Sunday in a shootout against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tonight the Kings face a St. Louis team that is on a four-game winning streak. In addition to the current overall hot streak, the Blues also have won three in a row on home ice to push their record at Scottrade to 11-3-1. L.A. hopes to knock the Blues down a peg tonight by continuing its dominance in this series. The Kings have won two straight, seven of eight and nine of the last 11 meetings overall. St. Louis has lost three of the last four encounters in the Gateway City. The clubs will complete their regular-season series with a home-and-home set this week with the Blues visiting Los Angeles on Thursday when the Kings begin a four-game stay at the Staples Center. The Kings won the only previous encounter in 2014-15, recording a 1-0 home win against St. Louis back on Oct. 16. Jonathan Quick made 43 saves in that shootout victory. Quick took the loss in his clubs mosst recent defeat after Torontos Joffrey Lupul notched the lone goal of the shootout in a 4-3 Maple Leafs victory. Colin Wilson Jersey. L.A.s No. 1 netminder stopped 28 shots through regulation and overtime before getting beat by Lupul in the first round. Justin Williams had a goal and an assist in the loss, while Marian Gaborik and Dwight King each lit the lamp. Alec Martinez supplied two helpers for the Kings. L.A. is now 1-3 in shootouts and 2-5 in games that have gone past regulation. These overtime and shootout games, we just have to pull through somehow, said Gaborik. We havent been successful in these this year, but we battled back and we got that point. We just need to get some more points on the road. The Blues earned an OT victory their last time out, as T.J. Oshie scored 63 seconds into the extra session to lift St. Louis to a 3-2 victory at Colorado. Oshies game-winning goal came on the 42nd shot of the game for the Blues, who only allowed 25 shots against. Oshie took Barret Jackmans from the left boards and used a Colorado defenseman as a screen before scoring on a wrister from the slot. This is something Ive worked on in practice, catching it and releasing it quick, Oshie said. It was perfect timing and Jack made a great feed to me. Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk also lit the lamp for the Blues. Jake Allen made 23 saves for the win. Martin Brodeur could get his third start of the season for St. Louis tonight. The veteran netminder is 8-6-1 with a 2.13 goals against average in 16 career games against the Kings
