Hockey State Expat
I only caught the highlights but even from that it's clear that Bobrovsky was on a different level than the other goalies we've played recently. Wild can feel good about the point they got and come out strong in CGY tomorrow night.
As far as bias and reffing goes...it really hasn't been that bad this year. The refs goofed, so what, **** happens. Last year, Shanahan made enough baffling decisions that it became a suspicious pattern, but that's about the only time I've really seen anything coming close to bias against the Wild. There were some serious officiating struggles at the beginning of the season––not against the Wild specifically but just in general––but on the whole I don't think it's been particularly egregious this year.
Refs take pride in their work and in calling a fair game, and they're only human and occasionally **** up. And they, like everyone else, have bosses and supervisors and will almost certainly be hearing from them today.
