Disclosure
time, I can be tough on the officials, I admit that. It’s well documented. In
this case, I think that the officials got the first call right, but made the
second half of the call wrong.
Let
me explain, you definitely have a penalty on David Savard for slashing; he hit Chris Kunitz in the hands with his
stick. That’s a text book penalty, the ref is supposed to call that. The diving call on Kunizt is kind of a tough
call. It’s not like Kunitz leapt to the ice retching in pain and flailing about.
He fell down after being hit with a
carbon fiber stick.
