Notice after a few game where the refs call it down the middle, Leon comes back and the PP’s disappear. Game management is real.

Noticed same thing.. once it was known that the Oilers power play was next to useless.. refs all of a sudden were free to start calling the actual infractions against the opposition.. which proves they aren't "missing" the calls .. just "refusing" to make the calls in an effort to manage/impact the score by way of penalty calls.. reasons for it could be multiple.
The fact this league is so deep up to their necks in the gambling industry it's a surprise no one has investigated and/or made an issue of the infraction standard consistency and its effect on betting outcomes.
Doesn't help that the NHL broadcast holders are instructed not to criticize/question the ref calls with risk of losing future rights retention.. and/or replacement of on air pundits
If the NFL experienced this inconsistency in infraction calls, the entire broadcast and podcast industry would be calling it out.
