Honestly, there is definitely a reffing bias against FL teams and certain expansion teams. There is no way anyone can convince me otherwise. Amazing how the Blue jackets were called for penalties in their very next series that they got away with against Bolts players! In the playoffs, the Bolts have to play well enough to beat both the opponent and the REF!

I believe fans of most teams feel that way at times

No there isn't. Tampa played undisciplined all last season.

dont agree in embarrassing we aint thugs last year toi wise we were third most penalized team in hockey that is flat out bull;,,, im not a huge cnspiracy guy but that truth of that stat bothers the hell out of me
Because guys like Killorn and Kucherov take about four stick penalties a game. Killorn is the most frustrating, but generally we as a team are too aggressive with our sticks.
