And blaming the refs is a loser mentality. If your hold on a game is so tenuous that a call or non-call can change the outcome then that’s on you.
I agree about the league conspiracy against Calgary being silly, but your comment about a call or non-call is also silly. It was a one goal game and that call changed the score by one goal. It changed the outcome. A call was made that was totally inconsistent with the general application of the rule and the result changed the outcome of the game and eliminated a team that otherwise would have had at least one more game. A single call or non-call can obviously make a very big difference in sports.
