Referee Stephen Walkom hurts the Blackhawks yet again?

Referee Stephen Walkom strikes again! Did anyone else notice Walkom knocking down Brent Seabrook from behind in the offensive zone preventing him from getting to the puck and keeping it in the zone when it was shot around the boards by the Kings, which led to the 2 on 1 when Keith too aggressively tried to cover for Seabrook, which led to the scramble in our D-zone, which led to the Slava Voynov goal to make it 2-0 last game?

Update:

No doubt, Timmy B. I just think it's crazy to see this same referee making calls or non-calls that continue to F*%# my team.

    Hey s**t happens!

    Good teams overcome these types of things...I dont think the Blackhawks were going to win by only scoring one goal.

    --It was not really a call...He just got in the way...It happens all the time. I saw the video and it was an accident, not like he did it on purpose. Good series so far.

    I do agree that some of the refereeing in the playoffs have been questionable. The Ragners were getting special treatment by the refs. They were the only team in the playoffs to go an entire game in the playoffs without ever having to kill a penalty. And they did that twice! Two times they went an entire playoff game without ever having to kill off a penalty? Thats hard to believe. Especially the Rangers, who are a slower, physical, clutch and grab type of team. Theres no way they can go a full game with no penalty kills, nevermind twice! I remember watching a Rangers player go up to Marchand from the Bruins, the Rangers player dropped his gloves, and stick, and grabbed onto MArchand for a fight....Marchand skated away while the Rangers player had to pick up his equipment...That is an automatic delay of game penalty..And they show the replay and the ref is standing right there watching the whole thing and he never calls anything. Even Ovechkin was calling out the refs for the Rangers special treatment...
