Hopefully, you are being sarcastic, my friend.The referees of that era. Art Skov. Bill Friday ("Friday is a bum...") The good old days.

Art Skov was totally bent. He's the one who threw Game 6 against the Flyers. League President Clarence Campbell was desperate for an expansion team to win the cup. Had he been patient, he got an all-expansion cup final the next year in Buf-Philly. Instead the fix was in for the Flyers in 74. They were something like 18-0 on home ice with Art Skov as referee.

Well, Campbell later went to jail for something, I can't remember what. Was he an honest man, heck no. On home ice, with Skov, the Flyers were 18-0 or something like that. He was selected to ref Game 6.Yes, I was being sarcastic.
Beyond that, do you have evidence for your charges against Campbell and throwing it for the expansion flyers and 74? I'm serious. If you got it, please direct me to it.
Counterintuitively, at least to you, I always assumed that Campbell detested the broad Street bullies, and was relieved in 76 when the natural order was restored, with Canadian winning the first of their four consecutive cups. My understanding is that Clarence probably ran home and took a shower after shaking Bob Clark's hand in 74, and again in 75. Am I wrong about this?
