Setting up the play?
Yeah a rule is a rule, but I still think Ref's should be able to make certain judgement calls. But I guess that's a whole other story all together.
Exactly. All I was saying was that the ref made the right call given the rules of the game.
Anyway, tonight was a frustrating game overall for us to watch. If this was a February game, we'd all be pretty upset at the way we played, I think. The problems we had in this game were exactly the problems we had during our really bad stretch last season. Namely, we weren't able to move the puck through the neutral zone with any kind of speed, and far too many times we ended up playing right into the hands of their defensive system. Standing three guys on the blueline and firing a pass from your own zone up to one of them isn't going to generate offence. We need our centres to move up with the play or we're going to spend too much time defending and chasing like we were today.
