Honestly, flames hadn’t played a road game in a near month, had edge in 5v5 play after the 1st and had some brain farts through the 2nd that pushed the game out of reach. That said if what happened to Gaudreau happened to McDavid we’d be hearing about it for weeks, major sports networks report about how McDavid all the time about how even though he’s the runaway leader in drawing penalties he deserves to draw even more. It’s time Gaudreau gains a little more respect from the refs, he’s a former lady byng, he’s a star in the game and should be treated as such. Embarrassing display to see two cut high sticks that should have both been doubles turn into an ejection and a penalty to the team with the injured players, the fact that they even came together and discussed on the Gaudreau play and got it even more wrong is laughable.
I agree reffing wasn’t why we lost last night, the penalties that were scored on were legitimate infractions, but a 34 to 2 PIMs discrepancy is laughable.
