Secondly, I listened to Canucks radio post game. They blamed the refs for a lot. I didn't watch the game, so they might have a point. But at what point will they acknowledge that the Canucks diving, and other antics, are a reason why they don't get the benefit of the doubt on penalty calls.
I kind of hope AV gets a fine for saying "god damn" in the PG presser. Would be funny.

It was very evenly reffed. Only a couple powerplays per side. Sure, other officiating tandems may have found a few more things to whistle down tonight, but the guys let them play for the most part... hard to complain for the sake of either team.
Maybe the Canucks/AV/fans should seek out an honest man's hockey response, and admit that they could work on their penalty killing to prevent such an outcome?
Rather than make it sound as if they depend on favorable game calls to secure wins. Aren't 'good teams' supposed to be able to fight through such situations? Meh, typical. They're perfect right? It can't be them..
