Ref in Great Position Last Night, but Not for Us A Month Ago

Dubi at The Blueshirt Bulletin wonders...

"So how different would the playoffs that ended last night have been had the referee in Game 2 of the Ranger-Penguin series been in as good of a position as the referee was last night on the Red Wings' Cup-winning goal? In an identical situation, Martin Straka's apparent equalizer late in that game was whistled dead by a referee who was way off in the corner and couldn't see that the puck was still in play."

...and how different would the playoffs have been if the Rangers didn't blow a 3-0 lead in Game 1 or Hollweg didn't take a selfish penalty in Game 3. The Penguins were the better team. Get over it.
