Unfortunately, the league said nothing about disciplining referees Paul Devorski and Ian Walsh for their gross mistake of giving Wisniewski only a two-minute minor penalty for charging Seabrook.
Maybe this will keep Devorski and Walsh from working the playoffs. We can only hope.
Devorski and Walsh also failed to penalize Corey Perry late in Wednesday’s game for that shove to Brent Sopel’s back that helped lead to the Ducks’ winning goal.

He believed he could fly and eventually touch the sky.

ya no kidding, only reason sopel thought it was a sure penalty, was because he thought his acting was oscar material, when it was more in tune with the gross overacting of a WWE wrestler. His swan dive was priceless though.
What a homer!

Devorski and Walsh are working the Blackhawks/Kings game later tonight. I wonder if all the criticism of the game last night will affect their calling of the game tonight.

Or the fact that they let go the checking-from-behind/roughing/headshot that Seabrook gave to Perry seconds before Wisniewski got him back? Honestly if the officials had just thrown the arm up on that play, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Wisniewski doesn’t go after Seabrook to begin with so his team could have had a PP.
Oops wait, sorry, that’s being critical of the Blackhawks and we can’t have that. Hey, what’s that black helicopter doing coming towards me, and where did it come from?....

checking-from-behind/roughing/headshot
1) It was from the side.
2) Roughing? Justify that…
3) Seabrook hit him shoulder to shoulder.

If they penalized a ref for every horrible call, there would be no refs left. The officials in this league are that horrible. So stop crying in Chicago. Did you see the ‘clean’ Matt Cooke hit?!?!?!?

I believe the writer is talking about the giant, embarrassingly obvious swan dive by Brent Sopel.
