Referees Brad Meier and Justin St. Pierre had their hands full Saturday night, which was more than Ben Bishop could say in overtime when the Flyers scored. Bishop’s stick was lost (he either dropped it to swat a puck away that was going over his head, or it was knocked out of his hands by Wayne Simmonds, I’m not certain) and in the ensuing fracas, the puck was smartly shot through his undefended five hole by Shayne Gostisbehere (his second of the game).
The reason the officials had their hands full, of course, is because they were picking up everything that looked like a Dallas penalty the minute it wandered past their windshields.
