The price of a deadly PP. Refs start to feel like giving us a powerplay is like awarding us a goal. They can't handle having that much power. .. which causes "game management" strategies.. which by its nature will always skews game/series results Their minds are blown I think. This is a whole new factor into the game management calculation. Even if LA racks up powerplays, they are still scared to give an even up one because how likely it is to award a goal is too high. Only solution remains robot refs :) .. enter AI program referees..

Yes! can't come soon enough :)

I think the actual plan for these refs is to try to call nothing, just 1 or 2 each a game. We just keep doing goofy stuff to force their hand. LA's been more disciplined about the really obvious play affecting infractions.
