Hahaha the Sharks can’t win 1 round without a controversial call

Bogus calls. Luckily for St. Louis this call didn't end their series. Lot of hockey left, and hopefully the Blues can bounce back and take this series.

Yeah, you are fine. except that's the wrong team. You have 4 players. 1 Defender 1 Goalie and 2 Attackers Referee #1 Referee #2 Referee #3 Referee #4, and guess what you can thank them even tho your tax dollars is paying for the cup they could just steal your money and not agree to help you during the games. Hope you like the Referee Cup. San Jose Fans

I posted this because I'm absolutely disgusted by what the Sharks have gotten away with this year. I'm on your side, bud, and this team was entirely satirical. Definitely not a Sharks fan.

???? this made me laugh so hard

Not you sure why you are complaining about the Colorado offside. Landeskog was clearly offside, you would have to be blind to not see that.

yeah I get it but I dont care what the call is you cant give up 4 shorthanded goals in 5 minutes

Just three referees on San Jose side won't be enough when the Sharks play the Bruins. League office on your team is worth a lot more than just three referees.

Talking to Sharks fans, not you....

His skate was on the blueline which makes him onsides lol.

Gotcha. Your comment read like a pointed response to me after it's first sentence. I apologize if I misread it.

Oh you're good.

NHL refs have done nothing but directly hand canes bruins and sharks games. It’s embarrassing.

That and they rigged the draft nhl is on fire.

Just saw the replay again, it doesn't look like it was on the blueline, but it's really close. Also the refs don't decide whether or not the play is offside when the play is under review.

Even more reason to acknowledge that the League is rigged not just the referees.

All I'll say is I never saw an angle with BOTH Landeskog and the puck that was DEFINITIVELY able to say that Landeskog was still in the zone at the same time as the puck, and therefore overturn the call made on the ice (which was good goal). But we don't have the same angles as Toronto, as the NHL is always fond of saying. Whether that's true or not.

Creative post .. not sure about Colorado call but Vegas call and hand pass tonight were just plain clear errors by FOUR refs .. Columbus goal off netting against Bruins to me takes the cake on bad officiating

Why be mad at the sharks?

Mad at refs? Sure. Bad calls arent the sharks' fault. Pavs wasnt flopping. the offside was reviewed and decided by the league, no the sharks. hand passes happen all the time, and the refs are supposed to catch it.

I totally get the anger at the refs. I totally do not get anger at the sharks.

There is no bribery. no conspiracy. no backroom deals. Just some bad mistakes.

Still there was a head shot on bruan missed and a no doubt puck over glass missed. Refs missed a bunch.

I think the point is . Without ref help .. the Sharks wouldn't be where they are tonight .. that unquestionably true .. but it is refs fault and what will cause major officiating changes next year.. why evert goal isnt reviewed is baffling to me .. like ever touchdown is in football. . #s about the same

I think that's likely true if you look only at the calls that went the sharks way and were wrong.

1. The big 5 minute major wrong call went the sharks way. In game 2, however, a goal was waived off and couture given a penalty on a goal that would have made it 4-3 sharks after falling behind 3-0 in the first. Instead, vegas scored on the PP: 2 goal swing and a horrific call. What happens in that series if the call is not made and the sharks win game 2?

2. Against colorado, the play was reviewed and called appropriately. It was offside. unfortunate that it was away from the play, but offside is offside. the refs didnt blow that call and neither did toronto. Just happens.

3. Last ngiht the refs missed 4 obvious penalties against the blues (1. a clear puck over glass, and then perron scores shortly after, 2. a head shot on Braun by Blais, 3. a nasty slash on haley's wrist., 4. Meier was tripped by bouwmeester seconds before the goal, which is why he was on his knees). What happens if the sharks get the four extra PP's they should have?

All the whining about the refs ignores calls that have gone the other way because the ones that went for the sharks happened at more visible moments. Perhaps if the sharks got the calls they should have in other occasions, then the game doesnt go to OT last night. Sharks win 5-3 in regulation and that's that. Against vegas, perhaps the sharks win game 2, go up 2-0 and win the series much earlier. Hell, even last night, perhaps the sharks win the game later in OT anyways (they had a grade chance chance by cooch shortly before). Its impossible to know what would have happened, but the sharks have gotten some key (wrong) calls and have been bitten badly by some too.

I think you should take off blinders and say nothing.
Trying to rationalize it is putrid .. Sharks only playing now due to calls ..but that OK sometimes life ain't fair and game is what it is .. NHL will change rules next year.
