Ppl giving getlaf all the credit but adam larrsson with just as important assist

[icarus]

Just watched the highlights.

So Oilers first goal came on a PP for too-many-men-on-the-ice from a Ducks player that the puck accidentally touched while he was making a line change.

But the first goal scored in the Flames-Ducks series came on a PP after a Dougie Hamilton tripping penalty after he stopped skating, anticipating a too-many-men penalty (that never came) on a Ducks player that the puck accidentally touched while he was making a line change.

So basically same play leads to a PPG against the Flames and a PPG for the Oilers.

And of course the Oilers get a fluke bounce on their second goal.

This is brutal. They are ruining the game.

This. Ref's are really impacting the enjoyment of watching many of the series because they are inconsistent, their timing is terrible and they are letting some very significant must calls pass by.

Three of the Ducks goals tonight were the result of blown calls IMO.

Goalie interference on Perry.

Another was offside.

The winner happened after what should have been an icing.

I'm sure I have as much bias as you, but...
Definitely not icing. The peewee move of purposely turning the wrong way won't cut it, particularly in OT.

Regarding goaltender interference, Gulutzan said it best when he said I don't know what it is any more. No one knows the rules any more. It could have been called back. Have seen far worse not called.

Never saw the offside.

All three of those plays were borderline at best. Happens many times a game for every team, your team just happened to blow it. Don't blame the missed calls.

Perry is the only one that really could have gone either way.

For the offside we are talking cms.

And the icing...yeah, maybe it should have been icing but Klefbom hustled back. He played it as no icing and did a good job in reversing it to Larsson. Now watch the replay of Larsson slowing up because he is afraid he is going to get hit.

Ducks take the puck and score. Blame Larsson for the loss.

I'm not blaming the calls. Oilers could have won the game if they had played better.

That doesn't change the fact that poor calls were made.

If the Oilers win this series its definitely not going to be on the backs of the reffing.

[gunnner]

First one should have been goalie interfence, and that changed the tide of the game. After the *** breaks we had the first round agaist the ducks, the sympathy meter is on zero for the oiler fans. Im hoping for a few more blown calls and bad breaks for the oil in game 5!

[SuperMatt18]

Thought it was onside personally, and the icing is 50/50. Sometimes they do happen to randomly wave it off.

Only blatant one was goalie interference but after this playoffs the league has no idea what is and isn't goalie interference anymore.

Seriously? The guy is probably the best player ever to play for the Hitmen and is still actively involved in charity work in our community.

I don't care if he plays for the Ducks, we're above that.

This is how I feel about the NHL in general. If I wanted CFL-level officiating, I'd watch the CFL (which I used to be a huge fan of, now I watch the grey cup that's about it. But really, it's more of an excuse to make nachos)

[Erick Estrada]

It was all fun and games for Oilers fans watching the Flames get the shaft and now it's their time to enjoy the reality of playing the Ducks. It certainly appears that replay is their friend as you have two series where close calls have gone their way. That said their first goal was legit as the contact was outside of the crease and Talbot was never impeded seeing he didn't see the puck until it was in the net in the first place. In the intermission they dug out a rule about the screening and according to that rule it was the correct call. If the contact happened in the crease it would have been overturned but that's why they have the crease rule.

[Scornfire]

Perry wasn't even in the crease laff

[Major Major]

I feel like people in this thread don't know what incidental contact means. I can't remember seeing a similar situation called a goal in recent memory. It wasn't blown, nor was it borderline. It was the right call.

Extremely annoying. Did something go sour when he worked for 2&7 covering the Flames in the 80's? Remember when RSN got the NHL rights and we all complained about having to put up with their personalities on HNIC. Ironic that by far the worst personality on HNIC is Ron MacLean.

Like I said there's a reason they have a crease as there's clear lines marked on the ice to help make for an easy call. Was the contact in the crease or outside the crease? It was outside the crease. Otherwise you have to throw everything out and simply say any contact with a goaltender is no goal but according to the rules the call on the ice was correct. I'm not defending officiating as I'm the first to say it has been poor in the playoffs but they got this one right.

[Azhouse]

I thought Perry barely touched the goalie. I have seen far more egregious interference that resulted in good goals. That was Brian Elliot levels of whining by Talbot.

Waaaahhhhhh

This is good stuff. You really have NO room to talk.

[CalgaryFan1988]

The offside, ok, but I'm not sure how anyone should be whining about the icing call. It wasn't icing.

When we were complaining about poor officiating it was a joke, whats this karma thing I've been hearing about?
