My point is that "game management" officiating is the norm in the playoffs. If a team gets a lot of early calls against, the refs WILL ignore calls until things "even up" later. There will be no calls, at all, short of mass murder, in the 3rd.

Man.. they booked up on Smith and the puckhandling, so far no advantage and a couple dangerous opportunities for the Avs off of Smith's cleverness.

Tkachuk on beast mode right now!

[SportsJunky]

Hmmm. Ok let’s kill another one.

[djsFlames]

Put the whistles away!! This is playoffs you dopes.

[btimbit]

That one was a little weak

[Duffalufagus]

Omg that is soft

[MRCboicgy]

They called holding on that, in the playoffs?

[DropIt]

Hanifin gets called but Hathaway was draped and nothing

[direwolf]

Ah, so it's just gonna be a penalty parade on the Flames? Ok then.

[Bankai]

.....Really? They call that???

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Yikes, that's pretty marginal.

Flames PK coming up.

[Red]

Refs can F off now. Playoff hockey. Let them play.

[N-E-B]

Hanifin is having a rough start to the game. Other than that not many complaints.

[atb]

Pretty weak call

[TheScorpion]

Hanifin with a questionable call made against him. I still like him so much more than Dougie.

[shogged]

Games coming apart for the flames all of a sudden

[Boblobla]

Ugh

[PugnaciousIntern]

Weak a** call right there

[Gaudfather]

C'mon refs...this is the playoffs!
