My only problem with all of the Avs complaints after the game is that none of them offered a solution to the problem the ref was facing. They end up looking like they wanted the refs to bail them out of a tough situation.
It’s time to implement some form of injury “penalty”.
Say, if in the opinion of a referee a player on a defending team is in such distress as to be unable to defend himself from what’s happening on the ice, but the attacking team has the puck in the attacking zone, play could be immediately blown down so the player in trouble can be attended to. Then once he’s safely off the ice the defending team loses a skater, the puck is dropped but only the attacking team can put their stick down and you play on until the defending team gains possession or a normal break in play occurs.
