After last weeks games in the NFL, there was so much media attention to the calls made by the officials. Either the missed calls or the blown calls. Some of the calls were even reviewed and they were still blown calls.
Well, here is a good one for you. I am watching my boys play and the score is tied 1-1. The play is in front of the Buffalo goal and Regehr (from Calgary) kicks the puck into the net. An illegal play. Buffalo calls for a review, to no avail. Unlike football there is no red flag that can be thrown on the ice to challenge the call. They call it a goal, and play resumes. Within minutes the league announces that the goal should not have counted and a call is made to the GM of the Buffalo team apologizing. Did they take the goal away? No. No knads! Sure I could stay angry, but all one can do is laugh.
Now one might argue this is not a play-off game, and they are right it is not. But let us not forget '99.

You're right! You can only laugh at how plays are viewed and called, otherwise you'd go crazy.
