Unhappy

There is a whistle, C raises his arm (can't tell whether it is open hand or fist) and then gives the no goal mechanic. The C is then seen taking off his whistle as he is walking toward the lane and the lead. That action indicates to me that he didn't have a foul call and was heading out. Neither official (C or L) seemed in that big of a hurry. The whistle, however, clearly beats the lights on the backboard. I am not sure how none of them felt the whistle beat the horn/lights and discussed at least putting some time back up due to an inadvertent whistle (?!?!?!?) from the C. I guess they could have said that no one definitively saw time left so they called it using lag time (which no longer exists). I GUESS?!?!? That is a bad way to end any game let alone a playoff game! I did not see a travel either. Wow.
