Pekka was incredible. That was almost playoff Pekka. And our PK looked really good. Everyone was playing well.
All the good they did during regulation was wiped out by the joke of an OT. If we don't get the puck off the opening OT faceoff, we never get possession and it almost always ends within 2 minutes.
However, there never should have even been an overtime. I just don't understand how both refs and both linesmen missed a guy throwing a stick about 10-15 feet. And it directly affected the outcome of the game, it's not acceptable. It wasn't a missed trip or something, this directly prevented Irwin from playing his position. And the stick wasn't just pulled from him and dropped, it was thrown from the circle up and into the glass behind the goalie at least 10-15 feet away! At least when Mats Sundin threw his stick the refs got together and called a penalty.
We got cheated out of a point and a win and they got 2 points and a win they didn't deserve.
