The refs keep that #### up we’re 100% f____d
How can you stop him if you can’t lean on him (he flops theatrically)
You can’t skate stride for stride
You can’t poke because he’s got your stick in his hand/armpit.

Being at the game last night I saw 4 instances where flames players used TV timeouts to skate up to the refs and point it out and yet they allowed it all night.
I had not noticed that before, but you are right. Plain as day when looking for it in the replay, and Anderson goes straight to the ref to address it as soon as the goal is scored.
