So is this the refs picking on us or players like Gubrandson taking the regular amount of penalties they take in a year?
How many tripping penalties are we going to see when McDavid or Pettersson get to Gubrandons outside and blow by him?
There are so many more variables than the jersey on the back of the player, you bring in physical guys to play D the line gets crossed more often, get more penalties.
We will see bad calls against us yes, but some will go our way too.
Like fans of all teams, the ones that are missed or penalize us sting more and we recall them better.
