Not a complete response - I missed the T also.
She was off in this game - first half anyway. And they were freely hacking away at her with multiple players surrounding her and hitting her arms with nary a call by the refs.
The officiating was also very poor - more of those situation where the ref who is completely shielded from seeing the defensive player by the body of the offensive player sees the offensive player make a sudden move or jerk and reflexively calls a foul on the defender. Sometimes as clearly shown in replay there was no contact at all; other times it was just two players holding their ground in an interaction that goes uncalled everywhere on the court except when that see-nothing but imagine it all ref determines to exert him- or herself and blow the whistle. Some of the calls left Bruins dumbfounded - Angela Dugalic on one occasion fully recorded by the telecast.
Lauren was called for two fouls on things that went totally uncalled at the other end.
