The officiating has been so atrocious this year and last nights game is yet another example. Bobrovsky is in no way unable to do his job on either of those plays. It probably cost Tampa the game last night and it’s going to cost someone a series in a close one if the league doesn’t figure this out. We’ve been on both ends of these interference calls all year and the reality is nobody has any fucking clue, which means either the rule is bad or the implementation is bad, so it’s up to the league to fix it. The rule is really simple and it's not being enforced. You cannot enter the crease area on your own. If you're pushed in by a defenseman or during a battle, that's fair game. Neither one of those plays were intentional interference with the goalie with the express purpose of stopping him from performing his duties. Cooper is correct. They're the ones wearing all the pads, but if you breathe on them it's interference.
Ozzy Posted April 30 Posted April 30 TB got hosed last night...How many times we saw the same thing this season, just with Cuylle alone it cost us like 4 goals. But let's face it; the officiating in the league this season has hit an all time low. I think it was better with 3 officials on the ice. We have 2 refs and 2 linseman now, and they're fucking woeful out there. Gimme back the days of Dave Newell, John D'Amico and Ray Scapinello!!!
