Not that my opinion is worth anymore than the next fan's .... but a
penalty is a penalty is penalty. It shouldn't matter what stage the game
is in. The rulebook should not be put away simply because it's an
important contest.
 
Having said that, the best thing the refs did by not calling any
penalties is that they didn't call any either way.
 
It's going to be a great game today.
 
Congrats to Holzinger!
