no delay of game call on the icing when they decided to put out a fresh line,
not even that, they give them a TV timeout.
This is the playoffs, not some exhibition game.
Shit like this shouldn't be missed on such a skewed level.
I don't know what game you guys were watching,
cause a bunch of you guys seem to think the ref did an absolute good job today,
without being able to argue any of those facts.
Sure, maybe the outcome of the game would have been the same...
I don't know. But the consistency of today's officiating was just horrible,
and I didn't see it this bad in any of the previous games in this series.
I really don't know what to expect on Tuesday anymore. This is depressing.

It was a badly reffed game, but you can't blame reffing on the way the Canucks let up in game 4 and 5... If they lose, it won't be because of game 6 or even whatever happens in game 7. When you don't play hard and want the easy way out, things will bite you in the ass. The Canucks allowed the Hawks to get back in the series, not the Hawks "forcing" a game 7.
I hope Ballard starts Tuesday. I don't know why you would take out Ballard when he would get just as much playtime as Alberts generally would.. LAst I checked, Ballard was the only even player in the 7-2 loss in game 4. He even had a his playoff high of 15 mins that game.
