    MY DAILY REF RANT

    i know it happens but the 2nd goal was a joke

    yes calls go against both tems and what not

    but how the kcuf does the ref not see the cap dman getting pushed into the goalie yes the flyer shoved him on purpose into the goalie

    its clear as day right in front of him ??

    my biggest concern is that the cup is gonna be decided on a horrible call
    There were a ton of blown calls in that Philly-Caps game last night on both sides.
    Shoddy reffing hasn't stopped with the arrival of the post-season, I'm afraid.

    Unless it is a 1-goal game, the odds are against it.
    I'd like to say they'd either crack down 100% or let everything go for the final, but I said that for the first round, too, and it didn't happen...

    good chance most of the games will be tight

    and dont forget every game is tied at one point during the game lol

    it could be a horrible call in the 1st period

    True, but bad calls aren't anything new, so we can't get into the ol' "we lost cause of the refs" argument, cause every team ('cept Ottawa) can use that line at the moment. Oh well I guess we can get into that argument, but the point is we ALL can.

    So who else is happy that the Flames were eliminated....and damn I am only a month away from moving to Calgary would love to be around all the whining right now.


    Single handedly destroyed by a washed up (maybe not yet) old grumpy veteran...but I give JR props he was Mr. Clutch tonight and good on him.

    No doubt.
    You think Avery sees those T-shirts as a bad thing?

    honestly i think he is beyond the point of caring

    he knows 95% of the league hates him and he loves every second of it

    i dont think he sees it as a bad thing

    the league made a brand new rule for him within 15 hours of a game
    at least they take notice of him

    True, but that doesn't make some of his more idiotic actions excusable.
