THere were at least 20 uncalled penalties that could have been made against Boston but were not. My heart goes out to Kesler who was slashed repeatedly and only after he retaliated were he and Chara both called for slashing. Or blind side fists to the head of Burrows that received no discipline. Chara could have been called at least a dozen times before for slashing Kesler alone. Kesler must have bruises up an down his leg from the slashes he suffered. Is the ref blind or biased? Is the game fixed? It is ok for Canucks to be slashed or charged or interfered with, or sticked with impunity.That makes the NHL refs blantantly fraudulent. Only after the Bruins were ahead by 4 goals that Walkom, the ref, starts to call Boston for penalities. The first three penalities were against the Canucks.
Rome gets suspended for 4 games by the NHL for interference. But Ference who tried to put an elbow throught Sedins head and seriously injure him with intent gets no punishment or suspension at all. He is still playing.The only reason Sedin didnt get hauled out on a stretcher was because he saw it coming and ducked partially anyway.
If the game had been properly reffed there would not have been any of that unprofessional garbage, especially for the Stanley Cup final, in the third period. It was not professionally or fairly or consistently reffed. It is obvious that the NHL CAN NOT govern themselves. You would have to as blind as the CBC to not see that lack of professionalism. It is time to have police involvement in the NHL officiating.
This has been obvious for years. Naslund was scarred by a non call that led to the Bertuzzi incident.
Or the 94 Stanley Cup series that was gifted to the NY Rangers by the biased, inconsistent fraudulent refereeing back then and now Game three in the 2011 series. Walkom did not do a good job last night at all and it deteriorated into the unprofessional garbage we saw in the third period. The NHL is not a professional league but a garbage league needing public investigation for FRAUD. It is time for the police to take a bite out of the NHL and with more then fingers but with charges for fraud. And please start with Mike Murphy who suspended Rome, one of the cleanest players in the NHL, for four games. Ference deserved more then four games for the elbow to Sedins head; an elbow intended to cause injury. Rome lacked any such intent. Or the uncalled blind side punch to Burrow's head which was intended to cause injury to Burrows. A Bertuzzi/Moore type punch that landed him in so much trouble but uncalled if it done to a Canuck.
The NHL is fixed.
Get a brain Murphy! You ruin peoples lives like Rome, a very clean player, while letting the NHL be fraudulent.You did what you did because you want Boston to win the cup Otherwise explain given what’s happened to Vancouver players in these playoffs — to Daniel Sedin, blasted into the boards from behind by San Jose’s Ben Eager, and to Aaron Rome, knocked out by a Jamie McGinn hit from behind the very next game — with no consequences to either of the aggressors, or the most recent elbow to Sedins head. If you are going to make calls , call them all consistently. This never happens when Vancouver is involved. Mr Barry Penner, the Attorney General,please listen. The NHL needs to be investigated for fraud. This NHL fraud will go on until Bettman is fired, there is some serious injury or blood or an investigation is conducted. This kind of reffing will obviously
lead to riots
Or better yet perhaps the Federal government should get the Senate to conduct a Royal Commission on the NHL: the lack of proper policing or governence in the NHL; i.e. they breach the Charter of Rights consistently, or they do not call all the penalties in a game. The reffing is inconsistent and confusing. Perhaps there should be some public controls on their inconsistent and biased "policing" of misconduct. How many crimes under the Criminal Code can we ignor? There have been four NHL suspensions this Stanley Cup series; three got one game; Rome got 4; Chara got none for the same offence??? That is not equal treatment under or before the law. That is a wrong that must be addressed publicly by a public body. The Canadian law must be upheld especially by a league that fixes games. I am tired of seeing the Canucks jobbed by the NHL
