That's the part that bothers me. Of course the block was clean, meaning he didn't touch Brad. The point was that the clean block was irrelevant. It was goal-tending because of where the ball was at that moment in time, not because of whether or not it was a good block.
And of course the league will say it was a good block and, therefore, a good non-call.
I have lost a lot of faith in the head office. I only hope the team owners get together this summer and try to force Stern into some kind of changes. I said the same thing last year, however, and all they did was fire a couple of really BAD officials.
It's over and done so I'm just going to regret that this game I love so well is being bastardized by the guys with the whistles who are, in more than a few cases, making themselves more important than the game. **cough Joe Crawford cough**
