Ras wasn’t on the ice.

Hanley!

Kind of a silly way to decide the game.

Yes, they should. Winning games in the shootout because you can't score is a tell tale that you can't score unless it's in a shootout.

Andersson is the one that is supposed to covering the lead Red Wing, and had Weegar even been at the centre line when the change occurs it's an easy breakaway.

Here's how far Weegar was when Andersson hops on:


I have more issue with the first Huberdeau penalty, where the Red Wing skates back into him. But so be it.

Doing some rough trigonometry, Weegar is likely 60 to 65ft away from the bench door in that pic. Where do people expect officials to draw the line if that isn't far enough beyond the 5ft limit?

Lucky to get a point in that one. Detroit was in lockdown mode.

Issue is it happens multiple times every game and this linesmen must of had some $ on the game.

That a lot of free forechecking (up ice pressure)

Ha ha ha
Ahem
I mean
You really needed to say that?
You believe that?
Should there be players on the ice 70 feet behind every other player all the time?
Extrapolateing of course


No

Go back to the Oilers forum you came from.

No

Plus add in the forward who was still +40ft away from getting off the ice. It easily could justify two penalties for too many men. Two-too many men.

Do you ref tyke and feel insulted by a bad call?

By bad call do you mean your take on this penalty?

Talbot plays the puck at 2:05 (when this screen grab occurs and the change begins). Keep in mind The linesman does not put his hand up at any point for a delayed call. The linesmen then allows Detroit the opportunity to enter the zone and make a play at which point 9 seconds after the line change started he calls the play dead and issues a penalty only after Calgary is advancing up the ice.

Do you not see an issue with that? Either blow the call dead when it occurs or let the play continue.. you can’t decide it’s a penalty 9 seconds later and only after allowing the opponent a free zone entry and potential scoring opportunity.

Just finished the game on a delay.

Haven't read a single comment, and I don't know how anyone else feels, but that was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in a very long time.

Flames didn't play their best game, but they got jobbed by the refs in this one. I couldn't believe how easily they called penalties on obvious dives or guys just falling/dropping their sticks. Questionable calls on every single penalty call tonight, going both ways, except for the obvious Larkin faceoff penalty that the referee missed and had to be called by the linesman.

Who ever that ref was, they are ####ing terrible at their job.

Flames got a point, but that game was hard to watch for multiple reasons.

[Johnny Makarov]

man. all this ref whining is so off putting.

Just accept the fact the NHL is a 3rd tier sports league and that officiating is one of the major reasons why.

This is true...if the linesman is calling the offside is he really able to delay it 9 seconds? Like a ref would have his hand up the entire time. If it was a delayed penalty Talbot would have gone to the bench.

Also in that screenshot the two Flames coming on are basically touching the bench...maybe a few seconds later is more convincing but I can show you screenshots of 10 players touching the ice on a line change.
