The National Hockey League should be ashamed of it’s Officials.The referees in the Stanley Cup Finals may have taken the Stanley Cup right out of the hands of the New York Rangers. The officiating has been inconsistent during the entire Stanley Cup playoffs.
The third Los Angeles Kings goals scored when Dwight King fell into Henrik Lundqvist. Not allowing him to move or react to the shot may have cost the New York Rangers the series. There is too much grey area in the way goalie interference is called or not called.
Had the referee called it “no goal” on the count of interference, would the league have looked at it or would it still be a unreviewable play? The New York Rangers had been undefeated in the playoffs when leading after two periods. Until this game two of the Stanley Cup Finals of course.
There is no accountability for bad or biassed officiating in the National Hockey League. There is no consistency in the penalties called and not called in the league. Now the Rangers have to go back home dejected after out-playing the Los Angeles Kings in both games one and two. The New York Rangers have had the lead in ever second of this series thus far but lost both games.
The only way the National Hockey League can repair its playoffs and become competitive among the other three major sports. Is by reviewing all goals in the playoffs by the review board in Toronto. In my personal opinion the NFL hasn't been around for half as long at the NHL but the review all calls made by the Referees.
