I absolutely hate blaming a loss on the refs, but the Wild/Avs series has had so many blatant miscalls against the Wild with very few make-up calls going the other way. It is like watching the NBA refs... wonder if they showed up to the wrong sport by accident
??
Best part of this series besides its awesomeness is that it is completed. While the overall quality might be slightly lower than GRRM, Erkison is a writing machine with very little of the bloat and prolonging of series that comes with money/fame.
I have played all of them except 1-3 and 13-2(which I am playing very soon). I enjoyed every one of them in some form or other. They all had awesome and terrible things about them; but in the end 12 was the only one I hated so bad I could not finish.
