As I wrote in another thread this is on the NHL now. Plenty of evidence to suggest a major injury is coming. The referees are in over their head especially in the Flames series, and with no backup from the league the players will keep pushing it. You have to play with an edge and right now that edge is blurred.

This is no surprise at all however. It is a league that has turned constant blind eye to this stuff. Even Crosby got a major injury and the league did little. It is the most bush part of the NHL, they will gladly trade player safety for ratings (but so does NFL too). Problem is I also don't see the NHLPA screaming that loud either. Both are complacent in all of this IMO.
