About this episode

The episode discusses how statistics debunk the notion of referee bias affecting the Pittsburgh Penguins' playoff success.

The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff success isnt due to referee bias, as stats show they rank fifth in drawing penalties per sixty minutes. The Anaheim Ducks have the biggest penalty gap, taking significantly more penalties than theyve drawn. Emotions run high during playoffs, leading to conspiracy theories, but the numbers prove no favoritism. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
