So, you haven't watched all of the full games on TV? Could this have possibly affected your evaluation of the playcall?
In some respects I'm lucky. I usually have games on in the background while at work, and with NHL Vault it's easy to navigate them to find things I want to see.

But, as you pointed out, I don't have written proof of examples so I guess he isn't.

That's group-think in action. All of us are intuitive pattern constructing social conformists. We see, hear, and believe things more readily that others do, regardless of whether or not they are accurate or true.

It is not just "written" proof that you lack, you have no proof of any sort. Your feelings that are validated by invested fans do not constitute any manner of evidence to show that Hughson is calling with a demonstrable bias.
Like I said earlier, it is undoubtedly difficult for him to completely quell his own very positive feelings about the Canucks because of his history. But even while some of this is bound to come through in his call, it hasn't been all that bad (outside of Game 2, which I thought was pretty bad). It's just such a tedious thing to complain about.
