Interesting stats!
From what I heard Kirk and his counterpart got a strip torn out of them after game 1...that coming from an off-ice official
Good. Throwing guys out to make your life easier instead of actually making the right call is garbage. Two games now the ref's have done that late in the game..spare me....Man up and ref or quit....
I agree there's an issue with the officiating, and the style of play 'Loops is being allowed to play.
Long had 6 pims (that's right, SIX) in game one. He is one of the least penalizied players in the league. I believe he avg. less than .35 during the regular season. What's up with that?!?
Moreover, all of 'Loops "extra curricular" hits from behind/boarding/kneeing are taking a toll. It appears to me the 'Loops game plan is that if you can't score with the Rockets, injure them. I'll be interested to see if the League talks with the 'Loops bench boss before the game regarding the cavalier/aggressive hits that appear intent on causing harm.
Finally, if the game is going to be chippy, and the Refs are once again overly involved, it's up to Grantham to step up and protect his teamates. He's there to fight, and provide protection, not score. Sure the 2 goals were a great bonus, but it's nothing that can be expected on a nightly basis. IMO, he needs to protect the scorers and knock the cr@p out of anyone who takes liberties with Blacklund/Long/etc.
I agree that we need our "tough guy" to step up and protect his teammates. It seems as if he's been trying to do everything but that.
