Capitals Post-Mortem

A great season came to an early end last night, as the Flyers eliminated the Capitals in overtime of Game 7. As painful as the loss was, it was made more painful by very poor officiating. I tracked down the relevant NHL rules, and show that the officials blew it.

LMAO!!! Dude that is classic...and well placed..The officiating is what kept you in the series, are you kidding? it would have been a 4 game sweep without the refs handing you guys power play after power play...I don't want to sound like a sore winner. But come on man, don't blame the loss of the refs. They were horrible both ways. Since you have the rule book out, can you tell me what the rule is for breaking another players stick with a slash? Or how about tripping?
