I would wager that every team has been burned by these calls at one time or another, playoffs magnify it. IIWII... Can't change the rule now, maybe they'll look at it over the summer. @Like Wall,

I saw the play and I’m not disputing the quick whistle. I would wager that every team has been burned by these calls at one time or another, playoffs magnify it. IIWII… Can’t change the rule now, maybe they’ll look at it over the summer.

If true, this guy needs to sit out the rest of the year. Disgraceful. I wonder if they check for irregular betting patterns in Vegas? Actually, I know they do, I live here. Just making the point. Go Kings. I saw somewhere it was the same ref who missed the Clowe stick that “missed” the Torres hit. If true, this guy needs to sit out the rest of the year. Disgraceful.

If a coach would be 'sporting' enough to choose to sit a player, he wouldn't have sent him out to do just what he did in the first place. @Steven H Brown, Unfortunately, the onus is on the on ice officials here.

I sympathize sometimes. Coaches do this to guys. Ultimately, the League must officiate and regulate to deter such thuggery. Not get caught up in the lust for violence and retribution they might be egged into by the paying public's baser instincts. Or else, they select thugs and totally risk the wellbeing of opponents and the rep' of the NHL. Case in point; Trevor Gillies, Torres, The useful hockey player formerly known as a criminal, Matt Cooke. @iansez, Correct, and they’re both good hockey players.

I think its becoming apparent, especially this season, that the on ice officials are missing too many big calls. @Duncanz, I don’t think anyone wants to slow the game down that much, but I am open to using video review in limited circumstances.
