Michael Bunting has built a reputation around the NHL for being one to draw calls, sometimes by embellishing a tad (okay, more than a tad), but over the past season, specifically the last few months, the NHL officials have certainly made it a point not to call obvious penalties against him.
This was all but confirmed by a former NHL referee, but he says Bunting is the person that needs to repair the relationship, take a look:
-
There are a couple of things here: 1) another former NHL ref has admitted to having a vendetta against a player of a team, only this one didn't get fired for it and 2) players embellish all the time. If it's a penalty, call it. If it's not, don't.
Don't not call the game properly because a player hurt your feelings, that sounds like a scorned ex. Do you job, call the game. Are you always going to be right? No, but if you at least try, the on ice product would be better
Do you think this should be allowed?
