Rare scene as Patrick Kane nearly gets ejected in outburst of rage
Patrick Kane's Frustration Highlights Issues with NHL Refereeing
In a recent game between the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks, many fans shared a common taste of dissatisfaction with the officiating.
Star forward Patrick Kane found himself in an unusual situation, receiving an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for expressing his frustration with the referees, which is quite rare for Kane to show an outburst of frustration like that.
Kane's irritation arose from repeated interference by Anaheim Ducks' defenseman Ross Johnston, a 6'5" 235LB enforcer.
Despite evident instances of interference, such as a stick poke and a headlock, the officials opted not to intervene.
The replay of the incident has circulated widely, sparking conversations about the role of officiating in the game.
As the NHL community engages in discussions on social media and other platforms, it's evident that Kane's outburst has prompted a broader dialogue about the need for more reliable and attentive officiating in the league.
If the league wants to be consistent with their officiating, they must continue to call penalties on standard interferences plays like so.
