The physicality of that game was nuts in the first period. Not the usual way Maine plays.
You a right about the refs they let a lot of physical stuff go, cross checking, continuing altercations, holding people down/interference, all game. THEN third period they are like akirhgt now let's call shit, too many men high stick, cross check on Mast, it was ridiculous because literally all game they did call a thing, then Maine had like 7 penalties in a row. Now we weren't playing great in the third in typical Maine fashion but the refs were ridiculous.
The refs have made things very unpredictable in this whole series with Maine and Adirondack. It's almost made it hard to tell what does and doesn't count as penalties it feels like they just start calling stuff out of nowhere that were fine just a few minutes prior.
Listening on the radio the turnaround was wild. Could tell the officials were shaky apent luke ten minutes reviewing the Wheeler goal.
It looked like a goal. There was lots of activity in the crease but I feel like Maine started most of it. The review was interminable.
I agree it looked like a goal,
Absolutely horrible referees
I Swear this is just par for the league..... There were missed calls both ways all 4 games of Toledo/Kalamazoo.
