I doubt it. What he said was in-game and not in front of a mike. In front of a mike he said he couldn't afford to say anything.

Funny, though, how he got tossed out for arguing an icing call in a game they had no shot of tying up. Clearly, he was upset about the stuff that was going on earlier in the game. I didn't see much past the 1st period. Was the reffing as bad as the Carolina game?

The reffing was not great, but I didn't think it was particularly bad.

God I hope we get some decent reffing in the playoffs. It seems this season that they never decided whether they wanted to crack down or ease up. The standard varied so much from game to game.

Wanna make a bet they get O'Rourke & Peel?

They won't. There was too much controversy with those two. NHL does not like that. Roughly half the refs in the league don't get rewarded with playoff gigs, so I'd take that bet, except I don't gamble.

Controversy?

It was all over TSN and SNet. It caused Fraser to "dispel" these rumors of bias, except he very conveniently chose to analyse the Sens/Bruins game, and not one of the West coast games where the Sens repeatedly got jobbed by the refs. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that article was commissioned by the NHL.

OHHH.... That

Like it matters who the refs are

The NHL doesn't like that kind of controversy. Those guys caused a controversy, so I doubt they get rewarded for it.

F the Bruins.
