It probably was. But to me the issue is that refs are looking to call penalties on specific teams to manage games. We all know it happens and it’s crap.

Call the penalties regardless of what’s happened in the game. If one team takes 10 penalties and the other team takes none then too bad.

The league is so predictable. If you have a 1 goal lead you can guarantee you’re taking a penalty with 6 or 7 minutes left. Refereeing should be about protecting the players, not keeping games close.
