The NHL has seen a rise in misconduct penalties this season, leading to frustration among players and fans.

The sensitivity of officials has resulted in harsh penalties, such as Colorado Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen's unsportsmanlike penalty for telling the ref that he's "f---ing soft."
The lack of consistency in the officials' calls highlights the need for clearer guidelines and a more uniform interpretation of the rules.
