Darryl Sutter claims there is refereeing bias favouring the Leafs in Toronto — to which all of Leafs Nation exclaims, “If only that were true!”

“That’s one thing I learned a long time ago — when you’re in Chicago all those years and you come into Toronto, you know what goes on. I won’t say nothing more.” -Darryl Sutter #Flames fans… after taking 7 penalties against the Leafs, do you agree with the coach? pic.twitter.com/EFWr007HVK

It goes without saying that there isn’t a fan base (or coach, probably) in the world who, if polled, that would say they feel the treatment of their team by the officials is fair and just. But if the objective part of your brain is telling you, “The Leafs often getting calls to go their way runs contrary to the numbers,” you’d be completely right.
