Refs get part of the blame for losing control of the game, but saying THEY're to blame is so dumb
Refs didn't force this fucking well known idiot jabroni piece of garbage to crosscheck him in the face. The blame for crosschecking someone in the face goes to Kadri
Yes, but we could back this up even further. The refs weren't at fault for a blatant knee-on-knee, or the charge on Muzzin, or the missed high sticking on Tavares and subsequent goaltender interference on Rask.
This was an atrociously bad showing by the refs. They need to keep the game in some semblance of order to avoid it deteriorating to the point where something like this is likely to happen - the announcers repeatedly mentioned how the game was getting away from the refs and something was going to happen.
