However it was not as tightly called as I have seen out of some officials. I prefer to let them play a little.

WOW, the scary thing for me is their "last second" attitude. You HAVE to call the game. It sounds to me like them NOT calling fouls actually did cause the outcome of the game. Granted the coach was out of line, but they obviously decided if there was a foul that wasn't "excessive" they were putting their whistles on ice. This type of attitude really pi$$es me off
It's one thing if the game is a 40 pt blow-out and you are just protecting the players. It's entirely different if you have a close game and pass on a legitimate foul because you don't want to decide the game - that's crap.
