Seen a poll today about ref Kelly Sutherland and 63.7 % think he is fixing games ( 1667 votes in said poll i saw).NHL has a serious problem with game management without a doubt.Fans are starting to really take notice to it
Where was that posted? In a major newspaper? Sounds like stuff you could get sued for.

Good article that just underscores how bad the Dept. Of Player Safety does its job

When writers from Vancouver and Boston come to the same conclusion we know there is a problem

I'm convinced going into Game 2 that the refs had already decided that no matter what, the Bruins were getting the first penalty. Tkachuk takes an intentional hack at Swayman and Brazeau gets a penalty for a soft hug.

Now say Marchand took that same hack at Bobrovsky. Probably 5 and a game misconduct.

The WWE is starting to feel more authentic than this league.

Bringing in new faces is a gamble this league is still not willing to take for the most part. Same ol coaches rehired, same ol faces in management. As much as this inhibits growth of the sport, sadly as a business its proven. Take a look at new coaches and Management over the last 20 years. Mostly fails.

Not to mention the nepotism. How many sons of GMs/Coaches/Executives got jobs in hockey solely because of who their father is? The list is long.
