Comments on: Hey, maybe the refs were still laughing about Rozsival’s dive on the Penner “slash” and that’s why they didn’t call Brown http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/2012/05/hey-maybe-refs-still-laughing-rozsivals-dive-penner-slash-call-brown/ Fact or opinion? Exactly.

But seriously, does the league benefit from the Coyotes doing well?  Is there the hint of a perception of a conflict of interest?  And would Gary Bettman get to lift the Stanley Cup if the Coyotes won?

Curious minds want to know.
