The next time Johnny takes a slash across the hands without a call the Flames should pull themselves off of the ice and take a forfeit.

At first I didn't believe in the whole Wideman effect, but over the last couple of weeks its becoming pretty clear that somethings happening.

Where it boiled to a head was the Frolik interference penalty where he stepped in front of the Canuck to get at the puck and was whistled. Meanwhile the whole game when the Canucks had the lead they were playing with one hand on their stick and one hand tugging and pulling and holding up the Flames.

When they called that ridiculous one sided penalty against Brouwer, when they called Versteeg for the 4 minute unsportsman like. The spear from the other game.

Its gotten to the point of ridiculous and the numbers from earlier in this thread with the massive change in penalty calls to the Flames shows a pattern.

The old saying is if you say you're going to call the game fair then call it fair.

We're going to get more unsportsmenlike penalties as the players get more and more frustrated.

Its too bad there's a roster limit, because it would be nice to just sign a team of complete cement head psycho's take the loss and run roughshod over the other team and then basically say if we're going to get called for penalties at least lets be clear that we are getting fair calls.
