NHL hockey is the big loser.  We get it; if there are two Canadian teams vying for the Stanley Cup, the TV audience, and hence the advertising revenue is diminished.  The Americans just won't watch two Canadian teams play hockey.   So while the refs might have their marching orders from the league, (or direct from Bettman,) it is not worth watching the NHL if the reffing is so blatantly biased.  

The "no goaltender interference" call and the fastest video review in history at the end of the third period in game 5 is one example.  In the final game, Kesler was shown grabbing McDavid's stick and pulling it from his hands - no call.  Then Kesler skated over to an Oiler and began roughing him up . . . when the Oiler reacted, the Oiler took a penalty, not Kesler.  A blatant cross check by Getzlaf to an Oiler who wasn't near the puck in the opening minutes of the first period.  A definite foul by Getzlaf during a faceoff by - no call.  Even the play-by-play announcers were astounded.  Bad.
