End of the period and we draw a tripping penalty. But Voracek full on punches Hathaway in the face literally 2 feet from the ref... no call.
It's embarrassing.

I always wonder if I've got rose coloured glasses or something when it comes to officiating in the NHL.
As a fan, it seems horrendous. But I don't watch enough neutral games to know how bad my bias is.
It does seem to me to be the most subjective style of reffing in pro sports though.
