It's not even fun anymore. Stanley Cup Finals and this die hard hockey fan has turned off the TV.

I agree completely. As a hockey fan I was enjoying the game until the horrible officiating. I don't want to even watch anymore.
1). The nhl better show conclusive evidence that the first goal should have been disallowed as I haven't seen it. The on ice call should have counted unless they have video clearly showing he was offside.
2). Calling two weak cross checks on the same player is pretty ridiculous but I guess is ok if you consistently call the game tight...
3). The very next obvious penalty is missed somehow by the refs and directly leads to a goal.
Garry Bettman was defending the video review process and saying it was working as intended and it was most important to get the calls right. I don't see how they got anything right with the three points above.
If nothing else I just became a Predator fan for this series.
