Just caught the third period and OT of the Flames-Canucks game tonight. Two words: F-ckin' refs!!!

In a game won and lost entirely on the PP, the refs gave the Canucks three straight powerplays in the final ten minutes of the third and into overtime, and the Canucks duly scored on all three. Let's recap: McCarty hooking minor, 10:31 third - Carter goal, 12:29; Huselius holding the stick, 18:04, Robyn Regehr tripping, 18:42 - Salo goal, 19:30; Leopold tripping, 0:56 OT - Morrison goal, 2:53.

Four soft/phantom calls, three powerplays, three goals. Game over.

Are you telling me all the Canucks hits were clean over that span? I distinctly recall Jerko Ruutu leaping off his feet to get a Flames D-man on the boards. Where the hell was the charging call?

Bloody hell...
