Wow, how about that officiating? As horrible as it can get. And this is the FINALS. I was wondering if Alain Vigneault was getting close to stealing a page out of Roger's book and raising a white towel on a stick at the bench to indicate surrender. I am NOT one of the many many people buy into the conspiracy theory stuff....it angers me that I hear it so much around these parts. With the way the calls went through the bulk of the game last night the NHL is sure doing a good job to put those theories to bed. Instead, they are fanning the flames. In the end, the Canucks fought through the adversity and came out on top. Now they will head to Boston for Game 6 Monday. And the STANLEY CUP will be in the building.
