Referee in Ducks/Bruins game calls a penalty he didn't see.

...and about 10 minutes later there was a phantom call against the Ducks as a makeup. This happens all the time, and the only unfortunate thing about this case is Pasternak probably would have scored 5 goals instead of 4 being off the ice for that 2 min.

Were you under the impression that this was the first time a penalty has ever been called in error?
It happens... whether its a toe pick called as a trip, or a phantom high stick (or one cased by friendly fire) they just get it wrong sometimes. As others have mentioned tho... there's usually a make up call in those cases.

And exactly not one NHL hockey fan was surprised.

Maybe the Bruins will get less PIMs when they don't have Chara to screen against retaliation. Players like Marchand and Krug are allowed to get away with some seriously insane antics simply because Big Brother is always there to step in.
You don't get the benefit of the doubt when you have some little shit who thinks that licking people is okay.

That wasn't even that bad of a blown call. It's a fast game refs make mistakes.

Bruins won the game, what are you complaining about? Ducks haven't even scored a powerplay goal yet.

A few times is luck, all the time is a pattern.
Can we find a way to blame Marchand somehow?

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Holy hell the ref was in perfect position too. That's brutal.

The only mistake is inferring something happened when you didn't see the infraction. It's lazy.
I’m not sure you saw it yesterday but the Isles got called for a phantom slash against the Blues in the 3rd period. Scott Mayfield collided with another Blues player behind the play, they both sort of went down and the ref somehow calls him for a slash. It definitely was top 3 strangest calls I ever saw
Have you ever tried reffing? It's easy to miss a call. Most of us wouldn't even know there was a blown call if we couldn't slow down the footage and replay it.

Some people think mistakes just happen but I know everything happens for a reason and that reason must certainly be to make my sports team lose.
