Mike nice revisionist take. First Kuraly was not even looking a Svechnikov when they collided. The CBC feed had a great angle where you could see Kuraly looking up at the puck and he and Svechnikov wound up colliding, neither seeing each other until too late. Second, the referee's arm was already up for the penalty on Hamilton before Kuraly and Svechnikov collided. Bringing up about Kuraly being dumb for retaliating on the first penalty, this from the guy who continues to whine about Debrusk's knee on knee collision with Kadri, it's the refee's fault that Kadri went bat poop crazy by not calling that, but Kuraly 's fault when he retaliates against Mcginn. Can't have it both ways. Oh and by the way put this to rest once and for all, the knee on knee happened because Kadri tried to avoid the hit. Debrusk was setting up to hit him should to shoulder when Kadri tried to spin out of the way, thus leading to the knee on knee. Go back and listen to Hughson/Simpson call, first thing they noted was how he made it worse. I could site many more instances where Bruins wind up on the short end of calls but the bottom line is that every team gets bad calls against, fight through that poop.

You're clearly exhibiting the terrible trait of hockey fans where they moan that the refs "should let them play", but as soon as your team is down or in trouble your screaming about every borderline infraction. Can't have it both ways. You are coming off as a bitter fan and not an objective reporter. Be better!

In regards to the Mckegg goal, it was good. The puck crossed the line before there was contact with Rask. The good point that Simpson brought up during the telecast is how because it went in you can bowl over the goalie and no penalty, but if he saves that and you run him over it's a 2 minute goalie interference penalty. Kind of a flaw in the rule book. In fact a good part of the fans' anger toward the refs is actually the fault of flaws in the rule book itself. The referee can only call what is in the book. The league itself is to blame for a good portion of the fan anger/frustration this year.
