Stupid *** Ville Neminin gets 3 penalties in the first 2 periods and the canucks score on them all, the guy job is to be a pest but hes gotta know the difference between pest and penalty. But I was happy to see the Flames giving Cloutier shots and trying to rattle his cage. All the flames gotta do is knock him off his game and the series is ours.

Refs were calling stupid penalties in every direction...even the commentators were like "Let's see the re-play maybe we can figure out where the penalty was....watch watch watch watch...I still don't see where the penalty was, keep rolling maybe that was it, no that coulnd't be it..."
After the Canucks scored on the first two powerplays the next three panalties called on the Canucks were a joke...no way even in a regular season game would those have been penalties. It was so obvious the refs were trying to even up the penalties by calling non-call contact. How about the one on Salo when the Calgary player drops his stick, he gets called for interference as they are battling for the puck like good clean playoff hockey should be. Even Ville's penalties (from a Canucks fan) were a joke.
I'm a Canucks fan and I think their experience won the game, but that was a terrible game by the refs, physically wise it was like a pre-season game but then why all the penalties??
The refs have to understand that they are not the stars of the game, fans don't pay to see them work, we just want to see clean hard hitting playoff hockey...they wouldn't let them play at all...such a joke!

And Slammed I don't know how you could say the Flames should have won the game... look what had to happen for them to even get back into the game...
A 5-on-3, weirdest bounce ever off the boards and Simon scores. You could see the Canucks deflate a bit as the parade of calls by the refs had been contraversial and it cost the Canucks, now they were still shorthanded and upset about the penalties and the lousy bounce and another goal goes in 28 seconds later on a 5-on-4 powerplay.
Third goal by the Flames was a nice one and well deserved.

Flames should've won? Ya right, in your dreams, they played like **** 
I cleaned up in my pool however, as I have Naslund, Morrison, Ohlund and Salo and they were in on every goal [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
