Anywho, the Kings dumped the puck into the boards during a power play, it wrapped around and took a real freak bounce right into the net, shorthanded goal for Los Angeles. Obviously, icing wasn't a factor here due to the 5 on 4, but i always wondered if a freak play like this could end up deciding a huge game, maybe even a Stanley Cup match. I guess the Calder Cup will have to do. Too bad they blew the call, though.Jimmy Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-54849111897260621282012-06-09T22:28:18.211-07:002012-06-09T22:28:18.211-07:00Well, Norfolk has swept the series and won the cup...Well, Norfolk has swept the series and won the cup. Game 3, though is a black eye for professional hockey—the call is obvious wrong, blatantly blown even, and yet the league says it can't correct the obvious error. Just adopt MLB's model and allow them to correct this call! I don't know what the linesman was doing, in replays, he doesn't even look like he has recognized the delayed offside, which would make it a blown call instead of an incorrect rules application, but if the AHL says the application was wrong, then the linesman must have seen it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-29846842242798195212012-06-09T21:38:52.168-07:002012-06-09T21:38:52.168-07:00I also referee hockey in the winter, in addition t...I also referee hockey in the winter, in addition to being an umpire, and that is an example of TERRIBLE communication between the linesman and the referee. You really can't fault the referee here, because he is in the zone, and it's never his job to watch for anything having to do with offsides. However, that near linesman should have immediately blown his whistle for offsides as soon as the puck went on net. This isn't even a terribly difficult call. This is really pretty embarrassing for these officials, and I rarely criticize calls, but this one is so blatant it is hard to justify.MattABnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-30515355534161581792012-06-09T20:13:44.510-07:002012-06-09T20:13:44.510-07:00How about "How to Lose Game 5 of the Stanley ...How about "How to Lose Game 5 of the Stanley Cup with a bogus interference call and power play goal"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
