Another pretty awful performance. Saw lots of comments about poor officiating which it was, but that should be a given for anyone watching Ducks games for any small amount of time during the regular season. The Ducks complain too much, this results in officiating bias. It's how it works, it's how it has always worked at least for as long as I've watched hockey.

The real issue, the controllable issue, is the work ethic. A buddy of mine who rarely watches hockey said the Preds were outworking the Ducks. It's painfully obvious. I also think the Preds defense is better. Overall the Preds are just a better team who want it more.

I was at the game and thought I saw Cogliano get speared. It was behind the play so my eyes weren't focused on it, did tv catch anything? And what did Garbutt say/do to get the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? I don't think BB let him play at all in the 3rd?

they pointed out the spear and no call on tv

throughout these playoffs i really feel having a 3rd ref would be so beneficial
an extra pair of eyes to see al lthe shit being missed/not called

I understand missed calls, I think it's good for the game. Makes it more emotional and intense. But then you have the, "I saw it, but I'm not going to call it...until 5:23 later unless it's a Tuesday or The Walking Dead is on."
