The part that really bothers me is that call was in the most crucial moment of the game. The game was going one of two ways and Calgary was stealing momentum and trying to take over. The 30 seconds decided the game and it was 100% determined by a referee.
Such a blatantly biased call ruins the game, without an illusion of fairness the game loses all of its appeal. It's like the game Mario Party. Try as hard as you want don't matter you'll get screwed randomly and the undeserving get rewarded. It destroys the fun of true competition because there is no competition anymore. It becomes a game of politics, dollars, careers and emotions. None of which I give a #### about, all I want is to watch one team compete against another but we didn't get that, we got a ref deciding the game for us in the most crucial moment. Fairly off putting start to the season.
