from the Calgary Herald,
But with the splendid netminding of Evgeni Nabokov, not much offence was required for the Sharks, who happily cuffed the Calgary Flames 2-0 in National Hockey League playoff action Thursday at the HP Pavilion.
Calgary coach Mike Keenan refused, more than once, to be dragged into a discussion about referees Marc Joannette and Tim Peel.
“I’ll share those thoughts with the league and with the supervisor of officials,” said Keenan, whose side was saddled with six straight minors in a nine-minute span in the second period. “I’m not going to comment on it. I don’t have a comment on it . . . I’m biting my tongue here.”
Flames captain Jarome Iginla was more outspoken about the penalty disparity—but not by much.
“I haven’t seen that (a string of penalties) in a playoff game. It wasn’t even that vicious. Nah, it’s a tough one,” said Iginla.

It wouldn’t have made much of a difference however
Yeah, right, shorthanded for 9:52 of the 2nd period, it didn’t make much of a difference at all

Don’t forget the crosscheck on Grier…. Dumb penalties dumb dumb… Calgary was chasing and lost their cool.
I’ll admit I didn’t see all 5 penalties but but I did see 3 and they were all deserved.

I don’t think you could contest most of the calls that were made. However when you measure some of them up to what’s been happening in other series, it comes across as a bit inconsistent.
The Thornton slash was nasty!

One of those six was a really nasty slash on the back of Joe Thornton’s knee…it was getting ugly. It wouldn’t have made much of a difference however, as Nabokov stood on his head with two highlight reel saves.
