Curiousity question here:

Who thought the call on Cooke for high sticking when he was on the offensive was a good call? Ference lifted Cooke's stick, and from the angle I saw, looked like Ference hit his own guy in the face. Regardless of who's stick hit the calgary player in the face (because he was hit), the high stick was caused by Ference (by lifting Cooke's stick) while Cooke was on the rush with the puck. Didnt they say yesterday the ref's are only going to call penalties that affect scoring chances?

Now, that penalty really broke our backs. I mean, tie game in the third and to hand out a 4 min penalty (sure there was blood, but it was initiated by Ference)... thats just insane. Only Vancouver gets hit like that.

Overall, shit ref'ing. Too inconsistent this whole series. I really think the ref's should have some accountability. I enjoyed the last game cuz the ref'ing was a bit loose and fairly even. But then both teams come out playing like that this game and things started getting called? wth. Consistency is good.

Anyways, I have to say that calgary played with a lot more heart then Canucks did. Naslund looked beat the whole game (I expect tomorrow the Vancouver camp will say he was playing sick - bah, whatever). Calgary out hustled, outskated and hit harder then we did. Calgary deserved the win they got, even tho I feel a bit ripped off by the ref's.

Anyways, tomorrow we get to hear the same excuses we have heard since 94. Whee, fun. Hope the Canucks enjoy their golf.
