Also, as great as this win was, and as happy I am for Martin:

The refs absolutely jobbed Ottawa multiple times this game. Svech loosely holding his stick shouldn't have taken off their goal, the slashing call on...Stuzle?...was him slashing the ice, which isn't a rule break, and then the too many men should only have been called if Ottawa possessed the puck while they had 5 guys out there, but they didn't.

For the amount of times we've been screwed by officiating, it'd be poor taste not to also acknowledge it when it benefits us.

They can also call too many men if the extra player effects the play can't they? Even without possession. They jumped off the bench super early (Ottawa player was between the faceoff circles I think on the replay so I think you can argue it should still be a penalty since they were able to get defenders back quicker then they should have.

Yea I've never heard there has to be possession, having someone jump on before the other guy jumps off is a huge advantage and teams would do it constantly if the other team had possession

well....it goes both ways.

Orlov got a penalty on Stutzle that he didn't deserve. Plus, interference on Svetch...plus, etc.

It’s usually up to the referee discretion. As long as there’s a player going off the ice (and there was in Ottawa’s case), most of the time the officials will let it go unless the players that are jumping on touch the puck. That’s why you always see the puck being shot at the benches whenever there’s a car wreck of a line change, because teams try and force that too many men call. It’s also why you see them jumping out of the way of the puck in similar situations.
