Re: POLL ONLY. SVR F-3

To all:

A counterarguement. This is what happens even when the referees are paid, there's instant replay, and the game rules don't change year to year. This was the final goal in the final game of the Stanley Cup Finals.

And as another question - what would you have wanted them to do? Pick up all of the confetti and tell the Stanley Cup Champs that they don't deserve the Stanley Cup because the ref made a mistake? As far as I know, it takes 4 games to win the Stanley Cup, and it takes 2 wins to win a Robotics Competition. So if you couldn't win the first two games, and you couldn't win the 3rd game by large enough of a margin to overcome a bad call, how much do you really have the arguement that you were cheated?
