The reffing in the third really was a mess. The right man was in the building and needed to throw a bench on the ice.
Legit thought the crowd was going to riot for a second. Man they were pissed.
Hall telling the ref to **** off on that bogus icing was hilarious. Ref got snippy saying “don’t you shake your head at me”.
I’m a little hoarse today from the game and it’s not from cheering during the ceremony pre-game.
It’s infuriating the number of blatant trips they didn’t call in the 3rd period.
The fact a Devil was slashed and was shaken his hand to no call and later a Devil slashes an Islander and then the ref raises his hands 3 seconds later after watching the player shake his hand has me wild. They were the exact same situations in the same period and the refs called them different.
The icing was a joke obviously.
Hall got to argue about the icing with a huge cut on his chin that he got from a high stick right where the puck was. Unless both referees decided to not be watching the puck then they say Hall get high sticked and called nothing instead of the 4 minute minor it deserved.
It’s just insanity the Devils ended up with less PPs last night.
