Who thought the call on Cooke for high sticking when he was on the offensive was a good call?
It was a hard call for the refs in that I dont think they had the luxury of a dozen replays .... however even if they did they have to call it because it is in the rulebook as a penalty and unless there was blood the Flames were not going to get a powerplay or a call their way so bottom line ... good call
Then Ference gets called for slashing when he hits the other guys stick right ? ... 2 minutes ... and he is in the box when the tying goal is scored at the end of the game ... but wait ... Iginla's stick is slashed out of his hand moments before the tying goal is scored
... no call
The refs gave the Canucks every opportunity to get back in the game with non-calls once more ... my brother came over to watch the game and we could not believe the non-calls for
" mugging " ... is that in the rulebook ?
I dont think the Canucks have anything to complain about as far as the refs go ... if they could stand to watch the game again and especially the third it would be easy to see how often the non-calls went their way.
Now we get Detroit and this should be a good series ... hopefully we get Simon and a few others back sometime in this series
