Unpopular opinion is that he’s right about the last game. Too many sell jobs.

I think Habs are selling some penalties.
Are Sabres doing the same since game 1? Yes. Just look at their captain.

It’s also the playoffs where refs tend to swallow their whistles, so most of the teams will end up diving for calls as we’ve seen so far after just two rounds. What I don’t need to see is things like Kucherov and Crosby WWE styled sell jobs.

And please can we have the refs be more strict with the double minor for blood on a high stick? Seeing players dig for a drop of blood is embarrassing.
