they have called this series very liberally and, at times, the officiating has been very good and very weak. tonight i thought they called a lot of touch calls and a couple flat out bad calls. the bad calls lead to makeup calls, that are inherently bad calls. willie mitchell's "boarding" call was probably the worst, but it had some competition.

there were a couple other bad calls also. late in the game they gave the blackhawks an icing whistle at the dot, but williams was in great position to challenge for the puck. bad whistle.
