the problem is the the inability of officials to call the game as it reads in the rule book.

Don't disagree, but a bad interference goal stands and then an awful icing makes me ponder what's going on here

"Beat LA" is such an inferiority complex chant.

Oh goodie, we should run video replay on icings too. That'll be awesome.

Refs have always given a few feet before the line.

That puck last touched his stick 6 feet before the line, that's not close.


For the record I don't think offside should be challenged either. Just wanted to point out how two awful calls surprise went LA's favor

I find refs and icing are like cops and speeding. Most will give you the leeway, but once and a while you get the dick who comes over all "Yeah yeah, everyone thinks they get a few feet/km's over, but there's nothing that says that".

Not really. So long as the puck crosses the line before it leaves the stick they let it go, if it doesn't, they call it.

Man the Sharks must have one of the worst colour combinations in the league. And an awful logo. IMO

Haha, what sport do you watch? Refs let early shoot-ins go all the time.

This series may be better than the eventual Stanley cup final.

First round is always the best imo. The importance of the series doesn't always equal the frenzy of playoff hockey.

[calgaryblood]

Can't believe they didn't call that obvious trip.

[V]

Maybe because of Brown's bad reputation, but that should've been called a trip.

Agreed. It possibly has to do with the physical grind of this intensity.

Watch that at normal speed and tell me that's common

[V]

Oh, that one might have been a little further from the line.

Big deal, is all I'm saying. Stop trying to ruin the game.

So now goalies get free reign.I hope the next goalie we sign is a real dick.

Ray Emery would fall under fhat category...

That's the offside rule I'd wish they'd change. Let the offside players touch up instead of blowing the play dead.

[calgaryblood]

Call the chant lame all you want, this is an insane atmosphere.

[wwkayaker]

Courageous block!
