You mis-took me for someone who has a dog in this fight. I was just calling you out on your exaggeration about Karlson flopping on the ice, nothing more. I would expect Crosby to sell the call and I would expect Giroux to sell the call and I would expect most fans of the opposing team to complain about it. As you said, just about all players want to make sure the ref sees an infraction against them. It was a penalty by the book, but agreed it was soft call if not a common call in this era of zero tolerance for clutching, grabbing etc. I didnt watch the game that closely as I dont really care too much since my team is out, so I cant speak of the other infractions you are talking about.
