It's firmly 100% on the refs and they should be held accountable.
I think its a complete joke that Tkachuk can get a multi game suspension for 'spearing' a guy simply by poking the back of his calf in a NON malicious manner that was spewed across the NHL news networks like he amputated the guy at the knee.
Yet we've got Dell who basically Hextal'd a guy in the mid section OUTSIDE of the crease in plane sight of all 4 officials and yet nothing was called, no penalty, no acknowledgement and ultimately no disciplinary action. I believe this particular event set the wheels in motion to which all the chaos eventually unfolded upon.
They simply cant let this crap continue to go on, as others have said I dont know if this is bias against the Flames in particular but when are they going to realize enough is enough BEFORE someone get's hurt real bad.
This next game is going to be a #### show, and I've got a feeling they'll be going after Johnny pretty more so than normal.
