Johnny needs to stop relying on the ref to stop the play and make the call because history has shown, those who become known as whiners don't get the calls that deserve to be called.
As honest as we all believe the refs are in the NHL (sarcasm..) they have a tendency to play favorited as well.
I truly believe that if Johnny doesn't stop and whine in those first two breakaways this season, he get the call last night.
But if you think for a second that there isn't already chatter amongst refs about JG and being weak on the puck and waiting.. no.. depending on the ref to make a call cause he's lost possession, then you have not watched enough hockey in your life. This #### happens all the time and isn't going to stop. There's a reason why the term "the player has to fight through it" exists.

As usual your post is full of drama and over-reacting.
As I said in my post, last night he wasn't taken out of the play by his own protest. It was the stick around his neck that moved him past the play. He then turned his head and chirped the reff (with good reason) about the egregious non-call and then kept skating.
Much ado about nothing, and if there was anything to comment on about that play, it's that it was another in a series of non-calls that was embarrassingly bad.
