It seems like there’s 31 teams in the league this year.  The 30 you would expect and then the refs.  They seem intent on making an impact on every game.  Unfortunately it’s almost always a negative impact.

What a fuching joke

Between the phantom face off penalties and these ridiculous goalie interference penalties the calls are a joke. Just because Shanahan blew the vicious head blow by Lucic on Miller last year, doesn’t mean we have to shut down all goal scoring. It isn’t as if there are enough goals to wave off to begin with.

i don’t have any particular love for either team, but:

garbage.

Horrendous, but us Wings fans have watched Homer get goals called off for less for years.

I doubt with these new rules he would have ever scored a goal.

For less to exist there must be something in the first place…

This is getting out of control and absolutely ridiculous. The league needs to put a stop to this as soon as possible. It is a blight on the game.
