If your plan is to grow your sport into non-traditional markets you can't have fans scratching their heads and questioning what is going on. Just a terrible year for NHL officiating. Terrible!

Gotta agree, the NBA reffing is brutal. Just look at some of the calls in game 5 of the NBA finals, yikes! European soccer has its issues too.
