The one really obvious call that I remember was the Kindl interference on Burrows. Burrows never touched the puck, gets bodycheked and goes down in the neutral zone while the puck flys by for icing. It's a clear call.

Ok, it's unfair at times but what worries me more is....

To me...and hopefully to Gillis, this is a reminder of what our team looks like when we are not getting calls. It's a wake up call courtesy of the league on what it looks like against other elite teams when the Canucks don't have extra space (pp) to move the puck around. Even when we are getting calls, the reminder is still there(Bruins, no 5-5 goals), we struggle even strength against the big hitters.

I think most teams are going to struggle when the other team is allowed to break the rules with impunity. It's pretty unlikely we will be able to build a team so good that they win reliably with a 6 minute PP time deficit per game.

I havent seen the Nucs diving or yapping at all latey. Still, we get no respect by the refs. Last night, the one ref had arrogance dripping down his face on a missed call. He just wanted Burrows to say something but he skated away. The look on the refs face said it all. I'm screwing you guys.
