My point was the Sharks were running around with the media between games whining like little girls about how the ref'ing is so unfair and the Canucks are selling everything and oh woe is us. Then a player like Eager spends a good couple minutes jumping up and down on his bench like a barely trained ape yelling at anyone and anything on the opposite team because he's upset that Marlowe decided to pick a fight with one of the tougher Canucks and got his ass handed to him as a result? Then the only response he can think of is jumping on the ice and making a beeline for the current Hart Trophy winner and most likely league MVP so he can run him into the boards from behind in a blatantly dangerous hit which borders on intent to injure? And for that Eager only gets 2 minutes? That's about as correct a call as not giving Torres a suspension for the hit on Seabrook, it's not even close to being in the same league as a missed high sticking call no matter how valid that penalty would have been.
Ya it sucks that H Sedin didn't get the 4 min penalty that he should have for that high stick. It doesn't change the fact that D Sedin was given a crosschecking penalty, that the Sharks scored on, when he didn't have 2 hand on his stick OR touch the Shark player. It doesn't change the fact that Thorton was slashing and hacking Kesler all night without any hint of a call. It doesn't change the fact that Eager got away with bloody murder in the hit on D Sedin. Of all of those the only one I have a real issue with it is the Eager hit, the rest is just playoff hockey... but to listen to the Sharks complaining about missed calls in a game where the ref'ing was well beyond kind to them and they just plain blew it is just stupid .
A very good point was raised on one of the after game shows tonite, the Canucks have long had a reputation of being a whiny team that cries about the ref'ing. While that was certainly true in the past it's just not the case anymore. At some stage you have to call a spade a spade and state the truth: the whiny b****es are not the team wearing an orca on their chests. The more the Predators chirped about the ref'ing the idiotic it made them look, the Sharks are on that same path right now.
