NHL Referee Under Fire For Horrendous Call
NHL Referees Under Scrutiny for Sensitivity
NHL referees have gained a reputation for sensitivity, issuing more unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in recent years.
In a recent preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, a referee's questionable call drew attention. A players frustration led to a penalty after he criticized the referee for impeding play.
This incident highlights the NHL's stance on limiting criticism of referees. The ongoing debate around this issue shows no signs of resolution, with players and fans expressing concerns.
