Questionable calls this game:
Interference against Niederreiter (on what wasn't even interference, just a love tap. Didn't stop or even slow down the opposite player)
Roussel only getting a minor despite a very dangerous play (should've been a boarding/charging/interference major in my opinion)
Fontaine high stick (Hit the opposite player in the hand/chest area)
Granlund high stick (questionable at least, didn't look like he even made any significant contact)
Missed too many on the ice call
Missed embellishment call on Roussel
Bench minor only seconds later
Add that to some fairly questionable icing calls and non-calls, and, well, it's been a frustrating game.
No, there is no excuse to come out of the gates as sloppy as we did, but the officiating was horrible in the 2nd period, and I'm going to go ahead and say that it has at least some effect to the end result of this game, regardless of the final score. It's unacceptable in what is supposed to be the highest standard of hockey out there, that's for sure.
