Gerard Gallant, Mika Zibanejad get into heated exchange following Rangers win

The New York Rangers had a reason to celebrate Sunday night. Ryan Lindgren pulled off an amazing feat, getting the game winning goal with just 0.4 second left on the clock in the third to defeated the Buffalo Sabres 5-4 (You can see that here). Despite that, many eyes were on what appeared to be a heated exchange between Rangers coach Gerard Gallant and forward Mika Zibanejad directly following the goal. Gerard appeared to be somewhat frustrated with Zibanejad, while Zibanejad eventually just shrugged his shoulders. Check it out:

Gallant was asked about the exchange following the game and what led to it.

"He was just yelling at the referee, I dunno, he thought there should have been a penalty," said Gallant. "I told Mika, 'There's .4 seconds left, the game's over. Leave the referee alone'."

"I told Mika, 'There's .4 seconds left, the game's over. Leave the referee alone.'"
