Game management, in regular season and playoffs, is bad. It's unfair, and the lack of consistency is infuriating.
Both of these combined makes NHL officiating an embarrassment.
These arguments seem very clear and obvious

I agree.
However, ‘NHL officiating is an embarrassment because I want to see Connor McDavid draw more penalties’ is an argument that is equally clear, and obviously invalid.
If you support a correct conclusion with an invalid argument, the best you can do is make people doubt the conclusion. They are liable to assume that the argument you made is the best one you could have made.
