Pretty much seems comfortable with getting a fine. Love it that he's actually taking the risk to vent it and validate what we can all see at home.

Good. I'll be the first guy in line to donate to him the fine he'll get if that happens (actually I won't). But it's not just the Flames. It's an epidemic around the league. Fans from ALL teams have the same issues. Announcers on all broadcasts say the same. Players and coaches say the same.
IMO it's the #1 issue with what's ''wrong'' with the NHL today. Why aren't the GMs talking about it in their group meetings? Why does no one on CBC question Bettman about it on his intermission interviews? This should be at the forefront. Not player safety. Not concussions. The officiating.
My conspiracy theory is that one day we'll get an entire leak of emails, with Colin Cambell's name at the top, talking about the mandate officials have to certain teams/players.
I don't think its the refs being incompetent. I think it's the mandate they are getting from highers ups that are forcing them to call games the way they are.
I'd love to hear that GG interview if anyone has it. I'd be surprised if it even makes it to the Flames' website.
