And blaming the refs is a victim* 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.

Use of the word “conspiracy” is an intentional descriptor to side step what is obvious to pretty much everyone except those uncomfortable with certain obvious reality. The league wanted one team to advance and not the other team. It’s clear as day actually and to head in the sands this one and pretend there something isn’t at play here is as equally stupid as those claiming there is bias against the Flames.
If you watch those videos of the other goals that counted and then the Coleman goal and come to different conclusions about what should or shouldn’t count you are a liar, full stop. Nothing differentiates the valid goals vs. the Coleman disallowed goal in fact if anything the Coleman goal is less obvious than the other ones. So to sit there and cat call fans as “conspiracy theorists” in a disallowed goal in one of the most intense biggest moments in the franchise in 31 years for the Battle of Alberta is stupidity of the highest order, sorry.
League’s rigged. For financial reasons it wanted McDavid and Mackinnon. Not really much to argue here honestly so your post comes across as that contrarian guy who’s being contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian or collecting likes because nobody wants to admit the product they’re watching is more like the WWE and sports cosplay than real authentic sports where teams are officiated equally. To be honest at this point the deniers that there’s an issue are almost more of the conspiracy theorists based in another reality than those that are calling out the league for the insanely obvious bias.
I did expect some fans to try and pretend there isn’t a problem though, there always are those folks that simply refuse to admit there is a problem when there is one because it’s a safe comfortable position that will inevitably collect a few likes.
