Black and White

A 5 minute major for boarding? A full 2 minute 5-3 advantage? A questionable call around the crease?

such were the terrible calls the Flyers managed to overcome in last night's 3-2 Game 3 win. They're the calls the Flyers expected the Capitals to get in their Game 7 to ensure the league got the Crosby-Ovechkin young gun marquee matchup it so wanted. So it does happen and can sometimes be expected. Alas, that game was fairly called. Not so last night. Sam Donnellon thinks it could be a conspiracy - of Candians taking care of their own. We'll see how the rest of the series goes, but last night was so bad it would have made David Stern proud.
