That should be the concern for sure, the league thinks that Flyers display in the last seven minutes is playoff hockey…they wear it like a badge of honor. It’s gross and about 2/3 of it goes uncalled.Please, oh gods of the NHL, give us referees who can control a game. I'd like to see hockey instead of WWE. And I really don't want to lose a good player to a cheap shot from an outclassed team.

That just screams refs lost control
