zagbreb didn't lose because of the refs today.
Of course they have been really bad today again, but very often against linz too.
For example when r.lukas got injured and was lying on the ice, they didn't interrupt the match and zagreb scored a few seconds later while he was still out of game.
some refs would have interrupted the game in that situation and that whould have been the right decision probably.
Also the penalty before the 4:3 powerplay goal (offense foul) was quite doubtful, from my point of view, don't know it exactly if it was a good or a bad call, because the distance between me and the action on the ice was quite huge in that situation.
in the last minutes they also made a few very strange calls.
so the refs didn't do well, but zagreb lost because of the bad performance of their goalkeeper today, not because of the refs.
the fans were throwing objects on the ice.
the crowd in linz gets worser every season
i hope that is going to change in the future, a lot of frustration because of the bad season this year.
if players were insulted because of the crowd, that would be a shame for the so called "best fans of the league".
The fans on the "players bench side" in linz are usually quiet and most of them older people there...
all in all it was a good and more or less fair hockey game with a lot of goals, bad goalkeepers and refs who are not able to control a match.
they worst thing that robert lukas injury seems to be really bad, maybe hes out for this season...:(
