Yeah, okay, not likely.
They need to pull a "The Longest Yard" play with the ref's
Shoot a few pucks at their lower regions until they decide to make good calls

I think they wear cups aswell...
A cup won't do much good with 80+mph shots coming at you

Have you played a sport that required a cup?
They 'protect' a fair bit, but the pinch from a softer hit (60mph baseball) is almost unbearable,

The NHL obviously doesn't want the Canucks to win. I understand some penalties, but holy mother **Filtered** hell. Some of these calls are absolutely terrible. Like..wow.
I'm done watching Hockey. I cannot stand to see my team's goalie be sat upon, and we end up getting a penalty.

I am starting to believe it after what I have been seeing..
Psyko wrote:That is actually pretty believable. I've been saying for years that the refs push games a certain way if they can. It would make complete sense if they did so now with the support of the NHL management. I just never thought they would be so blatant about it. My competitive nature has it so that I hate watching sports from home; it feels weird to be screaming at the refs and then have it cut to commercial while I'm still fuming. I've tried to give it up, but I keep coming back to it every season... It's a hopeless cycle.
