If you want someone with that type of precision then you don't want humans to referee the games, you want a computer.

Bottom line, if he blocks that shot b4 it hits the b/b, good! After, bad! I'm not a gambling man but I do occassionally dabble when the odds are in my favor. The odds are in my favor that plays like this will be a GT more so then a good block.

There is no gambling about it, it isn't playing the odds...it's knowing the darn rule and being good enough at what you do to see it, process it and make the judgment was it or wasn't it.

Obviously you don't know the rule...or even worse choose to ignore it...and you aren't good enough to just make the correct call based on what happened.
