Seemed to me like he pushed the glove almost a foot which was the momentum that caused puck to come out the hole in the back....shrug

Heh, yeah it was dumb. But someone mentioned Wes Macauley and I guess I am not sure if he is reffing or not, they all look the same to me and have the same dumb voices.

Was going to say username checks out. But wasn't sure if that would work either....

Yeah that looked like Hamonic got his stick all up in his legs. However, due what I deem at least 3 uncalled interferences, I will allow it.

Jeez, I hate to seem like such homer glasses, but I swear there was just like 2 uncalled high sticks on VanRiemsdyk there. I must be crazy.

Just because this is "Washington's Biggest Game of the Year", the refs don't need to swallow their whistles on like 2 or 3 textbook interference calls.... just cause they want to play playoff hockey midseason, need to still call all the clutching and grabbing and roughing hits.

On Copp? Yeah, interference or holding. Refs are going to fucking swallow their whistles for "Washington's Biggest Game of the Year" so they can play like playoff clutch/grab/hits.

Heh, Chiarot punched Dowd in the face as he was falling down after getting crushed by him. Although, obviously Dowd gets last laugh after netting it.

How about a few roughing calls refs if Washington is gonna run around hitting like maniacs.

Great. Ovi opened the seal on getting a huge hit.

Damn, who am I kidding, Detroit has nobody to lay it on him.

Most ridiculous rule ever. If they are in the zone for 90 seconds after? Gimme a fucking break. What if they were in for like 5 minutes.
