from Morris Dallas Costa of the London Free Press,
There has been growing discussion—and growing unease—in recent weeks about this lack of scoring. There’s no need to wear out one’s jowls discussing why it’s happening.
The reason is as plain as the hooking, holding, interference and obstruction that’s taking place on the ice.
Yes, ugly hockey is working its way back into the system.
What was almost eliminated with the establishment of new rules and new levels of enforcement after the lockout, is slowly reappearing.

There’s nothing worse than lazy journalists spewing crap. I know it’s almost Christmas and everyone is mailing it in, but jeez, what baseless article.
The refs have been just as consistent as they’ve ever been since the lockout. There’s no clutching and grabbing slipping back in the game. Improved defensive systems and better goaltending is the reason for the low scores.

I don’t see much missed in the C&G;department, and that stuff gets my blood boiling.
