If the refs have that thin of a skin then they should be fired. I'm sorry but the gesturing really means nothing when its legitimate complaints.
It was different with the Canucks when the refs were tuning them out in the finals because they were diving all over the ice and then glaring at the refs to get a call.
JG has been getting legitimately abused for nearly 2 seasons now.
If this is anything to do with the Wideman issue and the refs are upset at this still then the NHL head of officiating needs to be fired because it means that they're basically rigging games to satisfy themselves.
Right now in the next game, I'm telling someone to spear Staal in the sack and then break his teeth on the way down.
But I'm sure that I'll cool off.
But I really think at some point, if its not Treliving its Burke needs to rain cleansing fire down on the NHL office publicly.
Also this needs to be a very ill tempered team tonight. I have no hope of some kind of miracle rally for Johnny starting tonight, I don't think this team has the leadership or character. But honestly the Flames need to come out and be abrasive and vicious and not care about taking penalties. I know we are playing the Yotes and not the wild, but there has to be a message sent that this team isn't going to sit back and take this BS.
