The handshake line following the Western Conference Final on Tuesday night wasn't all rainbows and puppy dogs.

Things were awkward. Very awkward. The captains, Dustin Brown and Shane Doan, had what appeared to be a somewhat heated exchange following the Kings 4-3 overtime win. The topic was surely a collision that involved Brown and Coyotes defenseman Michal Rozsival just moments before Dustin Penner scored the game-winning goal.

As Rozsival was skating with the puck across the blue line, the whistle was blown to cancel out the play on an offside call.

Just as the whistle was being blown, Brown and Rozsival collided, injurying the Coyotes defenseman. Rozsival remained on the ice and needed assistance to get to the bench and locker room.

There was no penalty called on the play, but there's certainly going to be some debate as to whether or not there should have been, and what impact it may have had on the game (and the series). Immediately after the game Jeremy Roenick and Mike Milbury lost their collective minds screaming at each other during the NBC Sports Network postgame show, and I'm sure fans of the Kings and Coyotes have their own opinions on the play. 



Brown said he was just trying to finish his check and wasn't trying to lead with his knee.
