The Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets played a game last night that is far more noteworthy for the performance of the referees than the players.
The Toronto Maple Leafs did not lose last night’s game because the refs were garbage – don’t get me wrong. I am not here to write an excuse column, I just want to talk about the fact that the NHL is considered a professional sports league but that it isn’t really a professional league in any way. ,
A professional league would fire Gary Bettman for presiding over the Chicago Blackhawks scandal.
