It’s game management.

I’m shocked…absolutely shocked that rogers employees support the decision via tweets, articles, websites and broadcasts. Green text for clarity on the preceding sentence.

I’m legitimately surprised that Campbell is still around. The guy who was so blindingly incompetent at running the discipline department that the term “wheel of justice” was invented somehow managed to get promoted to real time decision making?

To be explicitly clear, how people 200 “miles” away feel is entirely irrelevant. If the explanation was “we saw a distinct kicking motion on one video feed and that was enough to overturn the on ice call and the 9 other camera angles that didn’t show a distinct kicking motion” then that’s something different. Citing things like skate on ice or not, you can kick without lifting the skate off of the ice, etc., display a blatant disregard or knowledge of the rules and physics.

Game management means bias, and bias means not neutral.

For fun, look at the amount of rogers advertising in every oilers game. Take a shot of booze every time you see or hear “rogers”. It’s advertising, it’s influence, it’s outcomes, it’s money.

What else would it be?
