It is no longer the score this board likes.

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

Both penalties on Foligno were poor calls. But every team gets reffed at least once or twice a playoff round.
Not sure how Marchment jumping and hitting Foligno with a stick and elbow doesn't at least even that up.

I want to make it clear. I am not blaming the refs. Wild blantatly missed point blank chances all game. 2 break aways, zero goals.Had our chances to win that game. Its been a decande plus issue of having a bad PP. Need a PP to win.

But.................all things considered. Thosae refs should be quite literally executed. That last penalty on Foligno is one of the most egregious calls in the history of sports. Like blatant tampering.

The league has had an officiating problem for some time now, we've talked about it ad nauseum for at least 10 years. Nothing seems to be done to improve officiating and it's likely the social media megaphone that is magnifying the issue. Game management is a real thing both in the regular season and the playoffs, a team gets a lead and you just know the team with a lead will eventually be called for a penalty.

Every other team's fans at the start of playoffs: "Leaf fans so embarassing already chanting against the refs before the puck drops on game 1."

Same fans half way through round 1: "Every referee in this league is worse than Bin Laden."

We're just prescient in our misery.
