I was glad to see that up until the last minute of the 1st period, the refs were basically letting them play.  Then for whatever reason, they started calling nit picky penalties....but only on the Badgers.  I am fine when refs call it loose or close, but come on, keep it consistent across both teams.  Only 5 penalties were called during the game, 4 on the Badgers, 1 on the Bobcats.3 situations where I thought the Badgers got absolutely hosed.  When the Badgers were on their first and only power play (late in the 3rd period), score tied, the Bobcats committed 2 obvious penalties, neither were whistled.  Even the announcers said something about them and concluded "Well they like to keep it close and not decide the game, they aren't going to call those."  Oh really?  so fast forward to OT, they call a slashing penalty on the Badgers, that wasn't much of anything.  What happened to "keeping it close"?The final "no-call" was during the Badgers only PP also.  Bucky had a wide open net and the goalies stick, "left his hand" and hit the puck before it went in.  Sorry, but a goalie doesn't just lose his stick in that situation, he threw it at the puck, which is an automatic penalty shot.  Below is a quote from a local news story about this play."On a line change, William Whitelaw was able to get on the breakaway. He deked Duplessis to give himself an open net, but Duplessis was able to contort himself and appeared to throw his stick at the puck to prevent the goal. No penalties were called and the game continued."[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.channel3000.com/news/shareable-stories/badgers-brought-down-in-overtime-as-season-ends-against-quinnipiac/article_495e6ec8-ee2e-11ee-a3f8-539e45ac35c8.html[/URL]</blockquote>
