Do you feel the NHL is rigged, scripted?

Is this NHL rigged?

There’s indisputable evidence Colin Campbell was directing his employees regarding calls against his son he didn’t agree with.

While that’s not the NHL fixing games it isn’t impartiality either.

It’s scripted down to the bounce. How do you think I already know the Habs are winning the Cup this year? I’m Illuminati too.

There is no other explanation for the continued employment of Kelly Stutherland and Colin Campbell. No honest league would allow either of these crooks to disgrace the sport with their outright refusal to conduct themselves appropriately.

Nice Marchand avatar, still bitter i see :laugh:

The Canucks lost in 2011 for more reasons than questionable reffing, which absolutely went both ways that series. Colin Campbell being a blowhard doesn't mean the series was rigged, you baby. Why wouldn't he rig the series in 2013 or any season until 2016 while his son was still a Bruin?

Rome deserved every game of that late hit on Horton, one of the Bruins best players. If LOLuongo wasn't such a headcase, the Sedins played with balls, and if Kesler/Lappierre/Burrows/Bieksa weren't such grimey, cheapshotting, diving pieces of shit players then maybe your team would've pulled it off.

Seattle fan who simply doesn't like Marchand but nice try.

And Sutherland has committed many more offended than that series. The guy has proven that he's simply not willing to act like a professional. There's also written proof of Campbell's corruption. Do you seriously think an honest league would allow either of these criminals to disgrace the sport?

Yes I do.
 
At the end of the day, WHL games have a much better standard of officiating than the NHL. The best case scenario for the league is incompetence, but corruption is much more likely.
 
I think the NHL attempts to script things, but is awful in doing so.

As for rigging, it feels like anything the NHL attempts to rig, blows up in their own face.

He also did his best to rig the next year against the Caps, it just wasn't as successful.

People like this are the reason the NHL can get away with putting their thumb on the scale at times

The New York Rangers have won, ONE cup in the last 83 years.

If it were rigged that wouldn't be the case.
 
voted no. maybe a little in playoff games but only when team A is called for a penalty late a game. It is a certainty that team B will be called for something.

If the league was rigging things they are extremely bad at it unless they are happy with the status quo. Mcdavid is probably the most exciting player to come along since Lemieux. If they were rigging things the oilers would never have gotten him. They would have an extreme interest in him succeeding. Instead he is in Edmonton. Arizona would be the only place less appealing for him to be as far as the league promoting the game. Edmontons organization is so incompetent and they are wasting Mcds career. He has not had a real goalie on his team in his career and if the NHL was influencing any of this, they would have something to say about it.

If your talking about Vegas winning, sure the league is probably happy that the expansion team succeeded quickly but its not rigging it for them to win.
 
Rigged to what extent? At the end of the day the players play the games, or are we saying all 800 or so NHL players are in on "it" too? Lol

Are we talking reffing bias? Games are often decided by a tipped / deflected puck, sometimes off multiple bodies / sticks. If a team is disciplined enough to not give the refs any reason to call something questionable, they can't just start making up penalties. Some players have reputations as divers, whiners, dirty players, etc and unfortunately that's going to sometimes affect the lens that refs see the game through. And some nights they are just going to have a bad night, just like any player.

Are we saying the draft lottery is rigged? If we are I don't think Edmonton would have had 4 1st OA picks in 6 years, including McDavid. I'm sure there's some other markets the sinister Gary Bettman would have rather tried to prop up.

The only thing where there's some obvious bias (or engineering if you will) is the expansion draft rules for Vegas/Seattle. Teams could protect the fewest players ever (11), compared to 18 against the sharks in 1991, but we're forgetting how bad some all these expansion teams were for years. Teams like the thrashers, wild, sharks, senators and lightning were bad for a long time, many still not experiencing any real success. Imagine trying to build a team when other teams could protect 15-18 of 25 roster spots? Expansion teams in the early 90s up to 2000 were basically building a team of plugs to 3rd liners. Whats the point of buying a franchise if you're going to be atrocious for a decade?

Vegas and Seattle paid hefty expansion fees (500M and 650M), the NHL most likely had to throw them a bone based on poor past expansion results in order to keep them happy and interested. For comparison, the Jackets and Wild paid 80M in 2000, which is around 120M in today's dollars.
