The correct call was made
The ice players could have played the puck but they have to clear the zone first. As soon as an Ice player touched it, it should have been blown offside. If the puck comes out the zone it dosent matter who puts it back in you have to clear the zone before you can touch it. If your team dumps it back in before the players clear the zone then you have to let them clear the zone before you can touch it.
So how do we rate Smith again
There are only two Series left - Is this guy really one of the top guys in the league? I heard Kevin Acheson on the Shaw broadcast that the refs earn points all year and are rewarded by getting games in the playoffs. He said if you get called for a game in the third round you've earned it.IMO he is horrible. Easily one of the worst - he changes his mind constantly - He is easily influenced by coaches and has more phantom calls than anyone. Ya i know its been going on all year but we have had this guy in every series - lets hope this is the last time we see him this year.
Go Rockets Go!!
