The ref should only be allowing that play to go on if he can see that the puck is loose and the goalie doesn't. That was far from the case here, as Stalock looks unsure but the puck is well underneath him and wouldn't have come out without Williams jamming his stick in there. Part of the job is to protect the goalies and St Laurent absolutely #### the bed on this one.

100 percent agree, but would add that there were some very quick whistles at the other end of the ice which just seems to make it worse.
However, and not to absolve the refs in any way whatsoever, where the heck was the Sharks defenceman to absolutely destroy Williams before he gets a chance to even make that play and to make the point that if you try and stick our goalie you might get hurt? Isn't this the playoffs?
