How is it whining when there is a clear right and wrong and he's right? Yes, these things have a way of evening out, but when one leads directly to a deciding goal, one should just ignore it? Whatever you say...
I think he was questioning the "directly" part. If he wasn't, then I definitely am. In any event, the line between whining and excuse-making is razor thin.
As long as the goal/no goal call is not the issue, then technically you're right that it isn't direct. But I'm pretty sure that's obvious to both you and not really the issue here.
I don't see this as the difference between whining and excuse-making. One can bring up factual evidence without doing either. Nothing about the way it was brought up, Hunter's personality, or history of coaching tells me he was bitching about it.
Well considering he, or his owner for that matter, hasn't shut his mouth to the media since Game 3 ended, talking about all the slights and ills and liberties taken against them, I feel safe in saying he's crossed into bitching. It is so damn transparent that all he's trying to do is lube the refs up for Game 4 that it's become quite pathetic. The more pathetic thing is that it'll probably work.
And, yes, national writers are aware of this and it is not just a Boston conspiracy. See the front page of Puck Daddy for proof of that.
