Somewhat OT, but if anybody wonders why the officiating in the league stinks, just remember: the fish rots from the head down.
If they have this much animosity, they need to be taking up a different line of work. They are not professionals if they can't weed out being this subjective as much as they possibly can. They may as well be figure skating judges,

These last 3 games Oilers will get very favorable calls as it's all against non playoff teams and they do not want them having best odds for draft. Just watch we will get phantom calls for us and I predict 15 power plays next 3 games.

Pretty much.
Kudos for posting it.
The funniest thing is that people actually think the NHL is serious about addressing any and all concerns. Why would they be?
This is a league with a boss who obfuscates at every level and is worse than Cigarette Companies claiming theres no proof cigarettes cause cancer.
look, we love hockey, and the NHL happens to offer the best product but from a conscientious do right standpoint the NHL is horrible and a lot of us at least suspect that.
The NHL could care less what your concerns are as long as you go to games, watch games, patronize their product. They know you will anyway so theres no real need for them to do much to cater to public will. other than little token bits of stupid like 3 on 3, shootout, rule changes every year which the NHL does because it just creates more carnival. Creates more press, and they don't care if its bad press, just that they are in the news. The NHL would dress their officials up as skating rodeo clowns if they thought that wouldn't be too obvious..
This is my feeling as well. I'm seriously considering finding a way to stop watching/following all professional sports. They seem more and more like a joke, and I don't think that the best team always wins anymore.
The Anaheim play I'm not too uptight about. Yes it was the wrong call, but it was a reaction call. But I'd like to know if there was any follow up to the LA/Brossoit trip.
I'd at least hope the only reason why we didn't hear anything is because Chai and company just aired it straight to the league vs. through the media. As refreshing as it was to hear Renney's "the NHL wants Hollywood in the playoffs", I don't think it put the team in anyone's good books.
