I am significantly more ok with the loss this morning than I was last night. The d pairing fiasco was explained on the fan 960 and actually makes sense in hindsight. Obviously it didn't work so adjustments need to be made.
The one thing I can't get over is the penalty shot and even more so, the official who called it. Correct me if I am wrong but when Gio was boarded we saw the center ice official call it with a late whistle after the guy right in front of the play didn't raise his arm. This is the same official who called the god awful penalty shot.
I have little issue with the no call on Johny as long as it is consistent throughout the game and the officiating was actually very good last night with the exception of the 1 guy. He deserves league punishment if it was in fact the same guy not calling the Gio boarding and then calling the McDavid penalty shot.
