The game 3 refs did a pretty good job (in the context of playoff hockey). They shouldn't help one team, and they didn't. Game 2's officiating (or lack thereof) overwhelmingly benefited the Flyers.
Goaltender interference is an area that needs to be cleaned up. I thought Brashear's penalty last night was clearly intentional; but I would agree that a lot of times the goalies have been run with no call, in every series.
On the flipside, I thought the call against Svatos in game 2 of the Dallas/Colorado series was a crock - if a goalie skates 45' out of his crease to play the puck, he's going to get bumped.
