I guess what I was trying to get across was the cognitive dissonance felt when the reffing has been bad, so I am mad, but also it has been benifiting my team, so I am happy.



That's it.

Basically how (most? some? maybe just me?) Hawks fans have felt so far these playoffs. Equal parts :argh: and :unsmith:

You have really not watched the playoffs for a long time then.

Not gonna lie, been following hockey for a long time, but haven't been able to watch it all the time until recently due to my previous lovely shifts.Radio calls don't give you the same impression of refereeing.

I mean the Islanders are probably going to win pretty soon, this whole OT is nothing but an endless series of Islanders scoring chances.

The refs are an unknowable force of nature who may screw one team within a game but on the whole screw everybody equally, so i feel no guilt about benefiting from their miscalls because one day they will screw my team in return if they havent already

We Pens fans like to bitch about the refs but mostly it's in the form of no-calls on cheap shots against Pens players, usually Letang. In terms of penalties actually called the refs have historically been quite kind to the Penguins, which is likely related to the fact the Penguins are one of the only two teams NBC cares about.

Canadian commentators were basically saying that the Islanders are a 4-line team, whereas the Cats are 3, and the back to back (to back) OT's are taking a tole on them.

without bjugstad (or trocheck when he was out), the panthers are more like a 2 line team whose coach should burn the other 2 lines alive while making their minor leaguers watch
