One Wild fan on HF is justifying this by saying they had 19 minutes in penalties last night, what more could Flames want?
I want the refs to call penalties regardless of the players involved, the score of the game, and the number of penalties the other team has. Is that too much to ask?

Never has it been more obvious this is the case than last night when Monahan got called for his cross-check. Yes, it was a penalty, but how was the exact same cross-check, in the same scrum, the same area of the ice, two seconds earlier by the Wild player on Brouwer not called? Oh, because the Flames were on the 5-3 PP.
