I hate to use the "if that had been Tom Wilson" thing, but it is a fair comment in this case, and if it had been Wilson, there is no question in my mind he would have been penalized, thrown out of the game and suspended.

Im pretty sure we are all on the same page with that. But, personally, I do get tired every now and then of pissing uphill into the wind.

I ALWAYS check out (thanks Alta) who the refs are. Many of the old biased bastards have gone, but there are still a few left. Refs have their tendencies and preferencies. What they will let slide, what their bug bears are.
There has been a whole new generation of refs come through recently and they seem less influenced by "Toronto" and the golf set than previously.
Don't get me wrong, Vegas is very much the shining light these days, whereas the sun that used to shine out of the Penguins arse is very much dimmed.......... :P

This is fine, as long as it’s consistent, and consistently enforced on both teams.
I used to watch rounders a lot. There were umpires behind the plate that were very inconsistent during a game. What was a strike in the 1st inning wouldn’t be by the 4th, but would be again by the 7th. Those umps had very thin skin when called out on it.

If I was a youngun'', take Milly for instance, but it could be ANY of 'em, but I would need to make a speech. .....
" I came here from a winning team. A serial Calder Cup winning team, to play for a Stanley Cup winning team. Once upon a time...... I thought that was to improve my hockey skills, not my golf handicap.
This may be my only chance, my only opportunity........ An injury, a concussion.......... any split second this dream could be over.
I ain't here for the laughs. Take a shit or GET OFF THE POT. Some of us want to play. Some of us aren't so good at losing as you old fuckers!
Some of us may never get this chance again.
YOU OLD BASTARDS HAVE A RESPOSIBILITY TO US. "
