I mean look at the Capitals go ahead goal on Friday, they were essencially on the power play since one of the Flyers was just laying on the ice for 10 seconds. I mean I'm rooting hard for both Pittsburgh and Washington in the series, but you can't put anything on the refs. Pittsburgh outplayed Ottawa, straight simple.

your crazy, refs can and do dominate games all the time. furtermore a refs domination can affect the outcome of a game. penalties happen all the time, it's when and where the refs choose to call them.
