I finally got the dog and the cats (and my wife) settled back down.....yeesh!
I was kinda stunned when the puck went in as I was totally anticipating 3 on 3...and then, like a miracle...there it was! Now I'm hoarse. Frolik sure looked pretty happy!
So according to Scouting the Refs, Hebert has worked 180 games since March 2011 (average of 40 or so games/season) and Morton has done 535 games since 2000 (average of about 35 games/season). They were either rusty or semi-blind. Missed way too many calls, made calls that were - let's be charitable - weak and blew the called-off Flames goal.
The first challenged goal I get - it's a bit like the toe in the blue paint (dumb, but hey...)
The second one, you can see Ference pushing whoever it was into Talbot. His arm clearly moves and gives him a shove. How does that become goalie interference?
I guess they felt they had to do that.
Anyway - happy for the win; now time for them to get the season turned around!!
