The NHL is scared to death of the officials’ union. If the players go on strike, there are no games, but most of the expenses go away. If the officials strike, there are no games, but the players still have to be paid.
The one time the league tried to tough it out with replacement officials, it was a stone disaster and they had to give in to the union’s demands in a hurry. So neither the league nor teams nor broadcasters are allowed to put heat on the referees.
