[net.sport.hockey] All Canadian final?

I've been watching the Flyers Quebec series and I would like to make a few
comments.

The referees seem to be favoring the Flyers a great deal.

In the case of a penalty drawn by Philadelphia, a Quebec player always seems
to be sent off as well. 

Obvious penalties by the Flyers, in FULL view of the refs are overlooked.

Is it possible that the refereeing(sp) is biased to prevent an all Canadian
final?

Just ponder a moment the lost television audience (read advertising), the lost
revenues at the rinks and the network ratings.

I am NOT a Nordiques fan, I do not particularly admire their style of play, but
the question remains, are they getting an even break in the series?
