he really has a point though is the thing. that 1st goal on him should not have counted and that ref should be suspended but i think his reaction warrants a suspension too.

nothing will happen to him. the league announced he wouldn't be suspended. hes a good goalie but he lost his cool on what was a TERRIBLE call (the 1st goal at least)

I agree with the ref suspension!! Do referee's ever get suspended or fined for totally blowing calls??

The call was brutal, and the ref should be given a few games off.

Rask went overboard too though, and should have been suspended. No excuse for a reaction like that (I say this as someone who got tossed from my own game last Sunday night.... after I lost it on a brutal penalty call. Ref gave me two minutes for elbowing a guy on my own team after a whistle).

Refs are going to make bad calls, and I wish leagues would do a better job of disciplining them when it's so obviously a bad call. Players shouldn't ever go off like that either though.

I think Ref's should be looked at that. I have no problem with him being suspended as his reaction is childish. Of course you cannot say he is passionate about hockey even though it could injure someone with the way he reacts. A volcano waiting to erupt.

Being a coach in basketball I always told my players you can never loose if you play perfect defense. As if they don't score you can't lose. Of course here no matter how great the D a err or two by a ref gave one team a game. I wish I had a slo mo to watch that puck!!
