I wonder how the NHL decides this stuff....I mean, Fraser didn't ref game 6, so does that mean it was a punishment for screwing up in the previous game with the two penalties at once? Or was it just an effort to avoid having people throwing things at him? If it was the latter I would be VERY disappointed because we can't all go into hiding when we do something wrong at work. We have to face the music!

I see your point , but at work you don't have 30,000 people ready to riot if you screw up, at work you don't have fans throwing garbage at you. If Fraser refs game 6 , Calgary loses and there are questionable calls, it can get ugly with that many drunk people in one place. Letting Fraser ref would also shift the focus from the game itself to the officiating and just prolong the controversy. The NHL pulled him for the sake of the game, not because they felt he did wrong , more as a preventitive measure, so it only makes sense he refs game 7, as a vote of confidence.

I don't think there's any doubt the puck was over the line. I'm just gald it didn't count since the guy was in the crease, it was kicked in (motion or no... it woulda been a cheap way to win) and Calgary didn't deserve to win that game anyway.

The puck was over the line , then it's a goal and should have counted , he did not kick it in and therefore it should count. He's in the crease , so what ? The puck was there first and he has every right to be there . They didn't deserve to win ? They came back from two deficits to tie the game , they outshot and outplayed Tampa , they deserved the win and they deserved not to be screwed . Now i'm not saying it was intentional, no one knew it was in when it happened, but they deserved to win.
