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.
There is a 0% chance they will start calling him on this.
It's built into how the league wants to treat him now.

We have to find a way to play him despite this, that's all we can do.
