In my previous post, bpette references the poor officiating last night. Looks like he's not the only one who noticed, as Steve Soldwedel at The Blue Seats agrees..."The officiating tonight was abysmal. I'm still trying to figure out for what Scott Walker and Sean Avery were given 10-minute misconducts. Having a chat? Then the non-call when Walker dropped his gloves and grabbed hold of Avery, who kept his mitts on. A check on Michal Roszival where the Canes player left his feet was also ignored. To top it all off, the refs get a Razzie for sending Marc Staal to the box for four minutes to serve Backman's high sticking double minor, leaving the Swede on ice to later take a holding penalty...
...The puck bounced the Rangers' way tonight, and Lady Luck didn't let the horrid officiating ruin the Broadway Blues' night, either..."
...while I'm sure its not easy being an NHL ref, I have pointed out on this blog numerous cases of horrendous officiating this year. Last night was another clear example. Bettman needs to get these guys in line. These games are too important for these guys to have off nights.
