And within a couple years, that call is practically non-existent again.

Really? Who complains about a legit penalty besides Oiler fans? Seriously. Think back to the last time you saw a Flame commit a legit penalty and you blamed the refs. You always blame the dumb ass move by the player unless you’re a compete homer. From what I recall, people were losing their minds because the blatant penalties against Gaudreau
weren’t being called.
