from the CP via TSN,
While Briere realizes that prominent players have gotten protection from officials as long as the NHL has existed, some consistency wUnhappould be nice, too.
“I’ve never considered myself a superstar,” said a smiling Briere, who signed an US$52-million, eight-year free-agent deal with the Flyers last summer. “Obviously, they might get protected a little bit more. That’s understandable, but when they do some of the cheap shots that they’re doing I think it would be fair for everybody that they get the same treatment in that regard.”
This is all stuff the Penguins have heard before.

Bad calls go both ways. The number of calls through the first 2 games is a wash. Flyers had more power plays in game one. The Penguins got two meaningless calls with less than a minute to go in game one to go on the PP. Last game it was 10 penalties for the Flyers and 7for the Pens

either way, the refs and league HQ have done a horrific job in officiating and something needs to be done

Can;t the Flyers just face that the Pens have outplayed them? Philly did get a Pens goal waived, so they can’t say Pitt gets all the calls…

much like the Rangers in the last round. How long before the refs completely destroy the NHL?
