100% agree... this has always been my biggest pet peeve about the NHL
(Bonus Point comes real close)
It annoys me to no end the argument “we don’t want to decide the game”, while doing the only possible thing they can do to do just that, which is decide when to apply the rules and when to ignore them.
If a player trips another player, it’s the PLAYERS deciding the game... a refusal to call the penalty is the referee now deciding the game... awful.
