Nevertheless the POINT is, there were clearly not called infractions in overtime that both officials would have called in any of the first 3 periods (except maybe late in the 3rd) which were not called. ===================================================================== This is what kills me the most about hockey. Inconsistency. I don't care if you're going to call a game tight or let most everything go, but CALL THE SAME GAME FOR THREE PERIODS AND OVERTIME. I've never been able to figure out why what was called a penalty in the first period is let go in overtime. Different refs have different styles I know, but these styles shouldn't fluctuate during a game. - Steve
