I’m starting to loathe the term “game management” as it implies there’s an impartial 3rd party element to the game that has to be appeased for a positive outcome. Refs should be respected, but what they think of a team or player should have zero influence on game events.
I don’t even think this is about playing nice to the stripes, this is just giving beneficial treatment to the team that the league feels has bigger financial benefits to advancing. And they use the slightest provocation on one side, and overlook obvious acts on the other.
If they gave Kane a borderline penalty because of a chirp, that’s game management. Systemically and consistently penalizing one team while ignoring instances of the other is game rigging.

Good point.
That's why I prefer to refer to it as score management, or outcome management.. aka rigged.
Also tired of the term.. "missed" call.. or "blown" call as an explanation, implies an unintentional error in judgement.
|
Exactly. “Game management” is putting a sugar coating on rigging the game so mentally people go along with accepting it as part of the game’s culture and rules. It’s not. It’s corruption. It’s a cancer that eats at the sport’s soul. And we shouldn’t tolerate it, nor accept it.
|
Also, beyond just corruption of the game.. there are now huge legal liabilities associated with this due to the massive NHL promotion of Sports Betting.. that's people's real money being affected.
|
Honestly, I don't think hockey is for you. Claiming the games are rigged is absurd. You don't have to like the NHL and how it operates, but this whole line of thinking is completely ridiculous.
|
Do you feel games are being called fairly and unbiased? That the play on the ice 100% dictated the game outcome?
Kesler falling on goalie, Makar redefining offside on the fly, last night. We aren’t talking one off events here.
I don’t think there’s a council of elders dictating the Oilers should lose.
But I think the officiating is more than happy to lean the odd decision in favour of a potentially larger US market. And even in the small amount, it’s corrupt.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
