Congrats, refs. You did something the Ducks and Stars couldn't do this week.

Calls were fine, the no calls were bad. All one way.

I really hope that the Yotes lose every game for the remainder of the season. dbags

If you look through my post history you will not find any whining about refs. I usually have their backs, but this whole "I'm gonna teach you guys a lesson" thing is ridiculous

And the Phoenix Coyotes, with the help of the NHL referees, and getting away with all kinds of sh$$, won a game over the Calgary Flames. Congratulations, losers. In my mind, if they need that kind of help, they aren't that good of a team.

[FlatLandFlamesFan]

wow some soft calls against and the no call on a trip & an unsportsmanlike !
that was sad , but still no quit in this team

[Rejean31]

The calls on Calgary were fair. The lack of calls on Phoenix was disgraceful.

3 games tonight that freaking referees decided the win. First it was Montreal winning on a controversial no stoppage whistle and also on non-call goalie interference penalty that led Montreal to tie the game.

#2. Shootout winner by Columbus. I thought goalie poked check the puck that went back to Johansen's stick and scored the shootout winner.

#3. Referee called 5 consecutive penalties to Flames some undeserving that led to another winning goal by Phoenix.

[Jbo]

Hard not to think the NHL wants to make sure the new owners get some playoff revenue.

Ugh haven't been this upset over a game in awhile

[direwolf]

Ugh...what a totally undeserved win by Phoenix. I hope they fail miserably for the rest of the season. And those refs can go F themselves. Such brutal officiating.

[PeteLFan]

Will the flames ever have guests on after hours?

[PeteLFan]

Now this cheapskate loser shame doan on CBC. What a loser.

That's just it, nothing fires me up more than when the commentators or the analysis desk analyses penalty calls and decides that the calls were legit. Very rarely do refs "make #### up", but frequently they apply different standard of calls to one team. That is what happened tonight. Other than Brodie's penalty which was likely just over sensitive ref baby action but who knows, every call made was a "legit penalty" by the letter of the book, but if they are going to call it that tight, then the Coyotes should have just as many calls. No other explanation other than bias officiating......only the reason for the bias is debatable.
