agreed. I know that it's a fast game and they miss calls, but if your going to call penalties be consistent.  If a tap on the leg with a stick is slashing at the beginning of the game it should be at the end as well as in over time.

As for the goal calls, the ref is standing.... or is supposed to be standing, right there, pay attention  and call it. I would love to see them start calling dives on the goalies that fall over with a slight breeze too.

the game has rules, let's follow them ALL the time.

Did the Bruins loose? :devil

Yup and they will more than likely lose more. They are too young this year. Only way they go all the way is with "heart" like Jersey did a few years ago when they made the finals.

The point however is the officiating is just plain poor. They might as well start high school officials. Through out the league far too many calls are let slide one minute and then called the next, how are the players to know whats allowed any more?

Im old school hockey, hard nose in your face hockey. I want to see hip checks that thought a player through the air. If a player gets a good pass and can break away he should be able to with out some guy hacking the crap out of him down the ice. If you cross check a guy you go to the box, I dont care if its shoulders, neck or head, a cross check is a cross check.

Call the games with the rules they have and you'll see a much better game.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Tom Wilson suspended for 3 games.

Yup, and no penalty on the play. I guess all 4 officials missed it. :rolleyes: Yet he gets a 3 game suspension. Where is the disconnect here?

Well, the one ref I see in the replay was skating for his life trying to avoid the collision.  :rofl

It appears that a lot of refs are swallowing their whistles to "Let them play" in the post season and let the league sort it out after. Not the best strategy if it's getting players jaw's broken.

I wonder how much the bookies who took Vegas bets at the beginning of the season are doing now? What are the payouts are like 1000:1?

Caps are back in Conference finals after 20 years.

Good series, I won't be rooting for them though. :D
