Well, in all fairness, the refs don't dominate anything. If teams dont commit penalties, the refs wont put them in the box. Its not the refs job not to hook, or slash or anything. If the Senators dont make penalties, they dont let the Penguins score power play goals. I mean look at the Capitals go ahead goal on Friday, they were essencially on the power play since one of the Flyers was just laying on the ice for 10 seconds. I mean I'm rooting hard for both Pittsburgh and Washington in the series, but you can't put anything on the refs. Pittsburgh outplayed Ottawa, straight simple.
