I saw one hit where the Canuck slid behind the net and was flopping around literally like a fish rolling and convulsing like he'd been tasered. Garbage like that ruins the game. The holding and hooking calls this year are getting out of hand, it seems like if you nudge the stick of an opponent and you aren't directly in front of him you get a hooking penalty. When the pbp guys in Vancouver even mention that the call was iffy then you know there's a problem, ####ing Vancouver and the damn reffing in this league makes losing go from a normal competition to it feeling like getting spit in our face.
