The Colorado Avalanche did not play a stellar game last night. Maybe they even didn’t deserve to win against a Nashville Predators team that looks perennially ready to challenge for the Stanley Cup. But nor did they deserve to have not one but two goals called back for offsides — and the third questioned as well.
When you question all three of a team’s goals, and overturn two of them on bare technicalities, that brings some questions. Such behavior seems just a little fishy.
Matters get a little fishier when you realize the Avalanche have a hard time winning when a certain referee is calling the game.
