Meh, most fans dont know the finer rules. The booing of that Ehlers non-trip was worse.
Yeah the dude beside me was Mr. know it all and screaming bloody murder at the refs in both cases for extended periods of time.
I have not seen a replay of the Ehlers "trip" from the end of the first but I had a great view of it in real time. To me it looked like he got his weight to far forward, and the puck was a bit out front of him. He ended up reaching and fell forward with a little bit of back pressure on him. There was no tipping motion or stick in his feet and the no call was probably correct from what I saw initially.
Same with the Buff incident, I was pretty sure the penalty shot was the right call in the defensive zone, but quickly googled it to be sure. Low and behold the refs were right but Mr. know it all had to yell at the top of his lungs for 2 minutes about how bad the ref was.
Some times you just have to roll your eyes sit quietly and let the uneducated be uneducated.
