Extremely disagree with people saying the ducks are a vastly superior team. Puck possession, scoring chances, shots, and hits were all even. The ducks just had a couple more bounces. Very proud of the boys.
Let's tie this series up 2-2!!!!

I'm fairly certain he said "the call on the ice was confirmed". But there was no call on the ice. Also, why do they automatically review goals against the Ducks for goalie interference. That's what the challenge is for.
For comparison, at that point goaltender interference was as reviewable as an offside would have been, which it to say it wasn't.
Very simple.
Pretty good point there! I think deep down we know the answer!
Lol @ the "fans" who apologize for the blatantly inconsistent refereeing and trash our own players instead. Some "fans" you are. Sickening
I can't speak for everyone but many fans feel like an extended part of the team.
Complaining about refs feels pointless to me. You can't control it, and comes across as whiny and self victimizing.
Talking about your team is like being hard on yourself and expecting more out of next time. So for me, I would rather vent about a lack of discipline which I have hope for improvement vs complaining about refs or worse yet, black magic and curses.
And yes the Ducks appear to be the slightly superior team. That is to be expected from where they finished in the standings.
But aside from some areas like face offs I don't see much of that superiority paying off for them. We've got 2 own goals, 2 very weak goals let in by Elliot and a 3 on 0 bad change goal.
They aren't doing much dominating for the superior team.
Garrett: And then Brodie... Brodie's is just... that's just complete lack of.... you've got no composure when you're doing that. He's down already. Maybe if it's 5-1 or something. Ball: I agree. Unknown: You don't rip Dougie Hamilton, I will. Stupidest ####ing penalty you can take- Garrett: Well, the TJ Brodie one too. But you're right, Dougie Hamilton, I - Unknown: Does he have a ####ing brain? He doesn't. He's stupid. Garrett: I don't know him that well. Unknown: Well he's not an intelligent guy. Garrett: He- You're Mr. Flames, so you probably know him better than I do. Ball: That's probably their best chance to win here, in this series. Garrett: Yeah. Unknown: Yeah, they're done. They can't win 4 of 5.
Anyone know who the third guy is?

And fun fact.
Finland isnt part of Scandanavia in the traditional sense of the word,
When the referees watched the replay on the tablet, they were checking to see 2 things. One if the puck went in and secondly if the posts were on the post when it did. During the watching of that replay, they(toronto) decided the goal went in and the posts were on, but there was goaltender interference to allow it to enter the net.
When he came out to explain it over the PA system he said,
" after further review there is no goal....there was goaltender interference on the goalie "(redundancy and all but thats what he said)
So if GG was to call for a review it would have been to challenge something they already decided after review. In others words....pointless.
Sure, all that but it certainly looked like a goal.
If that was a goal going against the Flames everyone here would say no goal, the goaltender was unable to make a save due to his blocker and pad being pushed into the net at the same time. It is unfortunate for the Flames but especially this year where they have been very adamant about any contact with the goaltender that impedes movement and the ability to make a save that it is no goal. Chaisson and Bennett were both in the crease and pushed Gibson into the net during the save. That has been called back all year. The fact is that if it was called a goal Anaheim would have challenged it right away and it would have been called back.
Past that the referees weren't that bad, the calls went against both teams - Elliott embellished the contact with Getzlaf and Bouma's theatrics looked quite embellished as well. Both penalties in my opinion but in both cases it looked a bit suspicious as to how each player went down.
Care to let me give you a good swing of the stick in the side of the head?
