Granted I'm a Ranger's fan, but I feel I'm very fair. 

• Each game except for one was a 1 goal game.
• 3 games went into OT and could have been either team's win

It was a heck of a lot closer than people make it out to be. I personally believe people should give the Ranger's more credit. 

Either way, I can accept a loss - a loss is a loss, but I'm just plain sick of the officiating. I wouldn't be so sick to my stomach had there not been that call. The Kings couldn't score in 2 1/2 periods after that so it wasn't a drop in the bucket for them. In fact only one game was where they clearly outplayed the Rangers.. 

I think many of the rules suck due to objectivity of the refs and I think the amount of blown calls suck. This is not a new view for me so it's not based on this series.

Personally I'd rather see a missed non-call over the wrong call. 

I agree completely. Remember the days when they'd just let them play and just call fights? I guess that was pre-NBC before they neutered the NHL a bit.

Yes the officiating was bad, but that same officiating helped the Rangers get where they were. It was at least bad across the board in this series and both teams got calls for and against them that could affect things. It didnt favor either team in this series.

I'd be interested to hear about any bad call that resulted in a Rangers goal. I'm typically pretty fair and I didn't see anything egregious.

I'm really curious if anyone has any opinions on the two 'really' blown calls that IMO had a major effect on the series.

In game 2, that non-interference call was pretty poor resulting in a goal that really shifted momentum.

In game 5, that reverse tripping penalty also was poor resulting in a power play goal for the Kings.

All throughout the Montreal/New York series there was also a lot of horrible officiating.

IMO, those two calls made a major impact on the series outcome. Imagine if going into game 5 it was 2-2 with the Rangers clinging to that lead in game 5 in the 3rd.

Never know...could have been 3-2 Rangers and might have easily gone to game 7.

I don't want instant replay, but I would rather have that then momentum changing situations. I hate to see the refs lose the game for any team.
