I believe it would be incredible for any league to pull off a conspiracy to Favor certain teams
The simplest answer is that the issue is inconsistency because the officials are human
Every fan base complains about reffing
Which tells you something
I don’t know what this overwhelming evidence is

Coaching should force Johnny to learn two shootout/breakaway moves over and over and over and over again until he could bury either move with two guys hanging on his jersey blindfolded. One forehand one backhand.

What I wouldn't give for a goalie of Lehner's quality. He makes saves look so easy. Our goalies do everything in the their power to make saves look hard. Rittich tried to make a save facing the opposite direction.

[djsFlames]

One of those games where they'll have to push through everything

Slow start, early hole, goals being overturned

But stick with it, just like the last several games. No need to change the formula.

Lucic hit Pirri, and Hanifin was right behind him. Pirri’s elbow looked to be up and he caught Hanifin in the head and fell on him.

David Rittich trying his best Hasek impression today and it's not going well.

And once again the opposing goalie was handed the playbook on Gaudreau break aways and it was one page in a thick binder. And on that page in thick large font it says " 5 hole"

Too bad they couldn’t find a woman to replace Ron MacLean as well.

Leah really settled in. Making dinner and just listening to the game in the background and to begin with I had no clue what was going on. Leah was filling space with colour and missing plays (nerves? Used to calling AHL games by herself so she has to do both? The pace is slower there and she has to do that?) But about half way through her and Cassie found their stride and balance, banter with each other. Real good call at the end of the period.

I make fun of Cassie a lot but u can tell how far she’s come, her polish, her timing (Next to Leah who is very green). She was anchoring the broadcast while Leah settled in. I like what she’s bringing to the broadcast today.

Nice work ladies.

Why does Ron need to be on this broadcast at all?

Many players have been quoted about how the game is called for certain teams. Detroit during their amazing run being an example of a team handled with kid gloves.

Can’t remember who Lucic sandwiched on VGK but Hanifin was on the back end and looked like he took VGK player elbow to the face

[OldSam]

Ha. Ha. NHL says Lehner could have been interfered with so no goal. Ha. Ha. Ha.

[Magnum PEI]

The teams are owned by billionaires, it'd be naive to assume everything is above board.
But in this case I think it was the right call, I don't think inside/outside the crease matters for goalie interference.

6 million for Rittich and Talbot or Lehner and Hutchinson/Gillies/one mill backup?
I’d take the quality over quantity.

brutal

[Inferno]

I'm not upset with the no goal but I do agree it would have counted had the roles been reversed.

Have to stay positive.

To remind us all why people like Caroline Kennedy and Leah Hextall can't get positions at the top of the networks?
