The Hockey Gods have taken a sympathetic eye to your fandom, and have granted you a redux on one bad on-ice call from the officials. What moment of obvious BS are you fixing? (feddit.uk)

Caps fan. I've only been around since 07 though so I'm going to pick something that's stuck with me since it happened.

'08 playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7.

2nd Period. Capitals netminder Huet gets interfered with by the Flyers forward after he hits the Caps Dman onto Huet, pushing the goalie out of the crease. Half a second layer the puck is in the net. Washington goes onto lose in 2OT.

That was my first experience of #capspain and it's stuck with me ever since.

Offending play is at 2:30

What about you? Buffalo fans, I think we know where this is going, same goes for Vegas fans (maybe?).

How and when did the officials hurt you?

As a Leafs fan, it was before my time, but Gretzky's high stick on Gilmour back that went uncalled in – was it '93? – is supposedly a pivotal moment in that series.

In more recent memory, Holl's interference penalty on a "pick" play in game 7 two years back would have tied the game in the third

It was pivotal. The Kings were on a power play in OT of game 6. Gretzky high sticked Gilmour and cut him, but there was no call. Gretzky should have been in the box for a double minor, but instead scored on that same power play forcing a game 7.
