Anyone who wants to say the league is properly officiated needs to explain that game. Flames with 77.93% XGF% at 5v5 and penalties are 3-1 in the Oilers favour.
Nurse lays an epic open ice his 40 feet from the puck and the refs just ignore it? There is no universe in which one or both if the ref's didn't see that interference. So why no call?
Just grab Tanev's stick for a bit, no big deal. Blatant trip on Ritchie? Nah. Hyman water skiing on Tofolli? All good.
And with all that it still took 2 posts for the Oilers to win.
The Flames dominated the Oilers that game. Absolutely dominated them. I hope Sutter calls those refs out hard.
