It's no secret that NHL referees occasionally make questionable calls, but during the recent Sabres vs. Rangers game, the referees' decisions were blatantly biased and had a direct impact on the game's outcome.
In the first period, Sabres veteran Erik Johnson expressed his frustration over a missed call, and this frustration later cost him dearly. After engaging in a fight with Rangers rookie Willie Cuylle, Johnson received an additional two-minute penalty for instigating, despite Cuylle's clear willingness to drop the gloves.
Following the game, Erik Johnson candidly addressed the referees' bias, leaving no room for ambiguity.
