Throughout the past week there has been several controversial calls throughout the National Hockey League, including over three in the Toronto Maple Leafs game and a few during the Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars.

Well, when the Dallas Stars faced off against the Colorado once again last night, the Avalanche dominated in a amazing fashion and won by a score of 4-1, but something else went noticed during the game.

A Colorado Avalanche player went down after taking a stick directly to his face, in quite the hard manner, it was clearly a penalty and it is called a penalty 99% of the time.

This instance fell in the 1% of the time, and no, not because the referee did not notice it.. it fell into the 1% of not being a penalty due to a made up rule, which was said for the first time ever and is drawing concerns to the officiating.

The referee stated the following:

''The play was killed due to an injury. There is no injury, no penalty.''

No injury, so no penalty? That is the first i hear of that EVER, Colorado fans and even the coach were left in disbelief, all they could do was smile as that's something that has never been said.

A high stick is a high stick, regardless if a player is injured or not, a players stick should not be at a players heads height, therefor a penalty is always called.

What were these refs thinking!?
