You shouldn't need to wear make up to play hockey but maybe i'm just old school.

 

[Maximus Rex]

Especially when the ref blows a legit one

Horrid call. Still, the point stands. A lot of good tending in the house tonight.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Totally agree.

Where do you guys stand on that? Pro or con makeup calls?

Nahhh, they should a just let the goal count

It is not a bad call, but maybe a bad rule instead..

There is no such thing as a quick whistle on it. As soon as you cannot see the puck, you are required to whistle it dead....not wait around and see if you can pick it up again.

It has cost teams playoff goal before.
It is a stupid rule. Refs are told not to even wait a fucking nanosecond before whistling it dead.

this is fun, eh?

Wow

I don't know how many more odd man breaks I can stand.

Its a bad call because the ref is out of position. And a doubt nanosecond is in the instruction manual lol

IMO The game 1 disallowed goal was a bad rule, tonight's was just bad positioning by the ref leading to him making a bad call.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I doubt I can stay up for all three overtimes

 

[Darkstone42]

Roughly as terrible as the officials tonight is the ice. It is horrid.

I'll be lucky to make it to the third period. 5 am comes too early...

The Preds should be up, 1-0!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!

I swear they are playing on slush.
Honestly the Refs are bad but that Ice actually I think is worse tonight. Most notably, I think if the ice was good Sissons would have lifted that puck and scored on the breakaway.

Neal might have finished his chance, too.

Yeah forgot about that one.

Those should be hurting the Predator fans as much as the whistle.

Very true. But it is not like we have never seen this before with the ref out of position. Too bad it happened in game 6 of the finals where everyone sees it vs a game in December.
