NHL referees a big factor in Sharks Flames series

Game 7. Same story.

Sad sad sad.

I am sick of this league and this game. It is impossible to enjoy the game as a small market Canadian team because the new NHL's officiating will always favor the potentially big market American team with the hope that progression in the finals will attract that potential market attention. I would watch the WHL but I can't stand the bumbling.

The Sharks earned everyone of those penalties, and truthfully there should have been more. There would have been if Keenan would have kept his mouth shut, but he intimidated the NHL and the officials into calling more balanced games. The Flames are a physical team, but San Jose is bigger and faster, and after a while all a guy can do is take a penalty trying to slow the Sharks down. This worked a lot for the Flames, as only about half the penalties that were called that could have been. Also, a phantom elbowing penalty to McLaren allowed the Flames there big game 3 comeback, so the refs actually helped Calgary push the series to seven games, as there was ZERO contact on the penalty, and that got the Flames started. Quit crying about the officiating, cause the better team won!

Ok. you are indeed Sneaky. Now I know who has been voting down all my articles. Let's leave the actions speak louder than my words.
