8. Im still mad over that disallowed goal last night. What a crap call.
As I said last night, I don't really fuss over the refs unless them screwing something up directly affects the outcome of a game. While the no-goal call didn't
directly affect it, there's no denying that we'd be in a more favorable position playing the 3rd period protecting a lead rather than playing a tied game. When you think about it we couldn't have done anything better to start the 3rd. We come out blazing and tie the game up, and if the ref does his job correctly we take a quick lead and put the Avs in a bad spot. Yeah yeah people can say snarky stuff like "Rinne would've given up a goal anyway" and maybe he would've, but protecting a lead puts us in a defensive mode and the odds are clearly in our favor at that point.
Not only that, but if that goal counts as it should've and we hang on to the lead, we obviously sit atop the division right now.
