If you don't think there is a conspiracy or rigging going on, you are not watching the game or just don't wanna be labeled as a tin hat wearer.

Was that a penalty on Salvador? Yes. Has that penalty been called both ways in the series? No. It's only called against us.

[NJDevs4978]

I can't believe there's 'any' complaining about the refs today. We got the majority of power plays, which should happen when we're dominating. They got one power play when they won a couple of shifts to start the third, bfd. We can't kill a penalty to save our lives in the postseason and squandered power play after power play, what were the refs supposed to do today, knock in the puck for us? They had some goofy icing decisions but whatever, we could have been there all night and not scored.

You are lame. We had twice as many chances on the powerplay. A few missed calls, whatever. Happens in every game to every team. Refs don't win or lose games.

They do, but they certainly didn't today. No conspiracy at all.

The linesmen screwed up 2 icing calls that should have been waived off. A Ranger had touched the puck both times. I could see it clear as day from my seat. The refs were fine.

That being said, I'm not one to buy into the conspiracy theories cause if that was true the Rangers would make the Finals every year.

Short of an Ed Hochuli, Broncos/Chargers game call, they don't and never do. I can't remember the last time that ever happened in a Devils playoff game that mattered. Take care of you own business, and it isn't a problem.

You can't just simply look at the number of PPs and conclude it's fair, otherwise game 1 was very fair officiating, as well.
Where was the call on prust for his blatant elbow, the call on the play that injured elias? Were the linesmen intoxicated today? If it's not biased officiating, then it's certainly terrible officiating. Either way, it's not fun to watch.

[Neb00rs]

lol at the missed delay of game call on the Kings

lol at calling Doughty for offsides

the refs still suck.

[Satans Hockey]

Yup, they were really bad tonight for both sides.

[iamtheprodigy]

Missed calls left and right. Very bad night for the officials last night.

The Ranger goal was fine, if you watch the CBC replay it hit Callahans leg.

Yeah missed calls happen in every game. It's not a conspiracy by the league, it's just a difficult game to officiate, especially at the pro level.

[Mindcrime30]

I have seen a pretty even series honestly. There have been some shaky calls, but the devils have gotten away with some stuff also.
Im sure Rangers boards have the same types of threads going on right now also.

[Devils731]

Don't buy into that garbage rule parsing by the league

78.5 Disallowed Goals – Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee and the appropriate announcement made by the Public Address Announcer for the following reasons:

(i) When the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick.

Callahan obviously directed the puck into the net with something other than his stick. The fact that he kicked at it but it hit his leg instead of his skate doesn't make it a legal goal.

I understand that but watch all the replays closely, Callahan kicked at it with his left leg/foot but the puck actually struck his right leg, really really watch it closely at 1:10 - 1:11 mark or at the 1:45 mark, you can see the puck pass the left kicking leg and hit his right leg.

One of the CBC replays clearly shows it but I cannot find it.
