It half makes me concerned that the league has an agenda to make sure that certain darling teams have an opportunity to have a best case scenario heading into the WC finals, and that more games in a series means more money. I had always hoped that the NHL would not turn me off the way that the NBA has over the past few years, but it would appear that it's just as tainted as the rest......the almighty $$$$$$$$.

Case-in-point... last night's Capitals/Flyers Game 4 in Philly. The refs missed a ton of calls both ways, and I think that the Flyers got the better end of a poorly called contest. This actually works out for me, being a Flyers nut, but I have to call 'em how I see 'em. I honestly think the officiating has gotten WORSE across the board since I wrote this article.
