Lol not from Quebec, but a francophone new brunswikian surely wouldn't have grown up a habs fan...
Meh, I jest. I have LONG held strong opinions against the reffing in the league in general. I get clowned every time i post about it, but there is legit an easy way we could plan to eliminate on ice reffing entirely from the league, there just seems to be a culture stigma against it. On ice refs blow and are horrible for the product though.
That all said, I don't think that the reffing problems are as simple as them favoring teams they grew up with. If that were the case Toronto would have won a cup in the last 50 years. Sutter is totally out to lunch with that take.
