Emotions aside, I feel the refs did a fairly good job last night. The first pe
riod was painful to watch at times, but regardless of the standard the officals
used (this time very strict) they applied it even-handedly. The only calls I h
ad a problem with were icing calls (especially in the third period and in overt
ime). The choices made in calling icing seemed arbitrary at best. Of course,
I've always disliked automatic icing anyway...
