I hate this penalty in general, it's literally based on how the ref feels that current day. You see players and coaches giving it to the refs damn near every game, especially when they get called on penalties, yet hardly any ref calls "abuse of officials" unless there's a physical altercation. It's a call that varies from ref to ref and they can call it whenever they dislike a player or dislike a team.
I get it if it’s late in a game when you wanna calm it down, but in the final minute of the first period that is a joke of a call. Tell him to shut up and move on.
When you're a minus 33 with one goal in 66 games on the season for a team far out of the playoff race you should probably keep your mouth shut and skate to the penalty box.
"Ref had his feelings hurt." Hate to break it you that you can't say whatever you want to the referee or your opponents without penalty. It's literally called unsportsmanlike conduct.
I don't even think 2 for unsportsmanlike should even be a penalty when directed at the ref. You didn't foul the other team, or cheat in any way, so why should the other team get an advantage just because the ref thought you went too far with your yapping? Those should just be 10s and games if it's against the ref. Of course, refs can't be throwing 10s and games out willy-nilly just because their feelings hurt. This cross check call was terrible to begin with, and I don't know what he said to get a game, but any ref who calls a 2 for some yapping you know is pretty soft, so the 10 and the game might not have even been warranted either.

"Hey Ref. Where did you buy your clothes…from the toilet store?" – Addison
Soft refs. I'm telling you the democrats and there rainbow people making everyone soft.
Facts don't care about feelings Referee!
Your wife gives good 🧑🦲?
Called the technically a little quick. This is the NHL not minor hockey
How they call that but not call it against Raymond yesterday. These refs need to be more consistent
When did they add a technical in the hockey world
Not a great day for refees
Ref thinks he is the prime minister of Canada, little entitled puss. Suck it up Ref
Don't hurt the refs feelings.

Must have commented on the refs vaginal status.
Good call, players need to behave since they're rolemodels to millions of kids.
S my C
Think the ref forgot to change his manpad
Without knowing anything about what happened he probably talked to him.
I hate SJ but the modern crop of refs are a fookin joke!
“Fck off!! Fck off! Every fcking game!”
Addison used the wrong pronouns
Fuck yeah Kyle!
WEAK
Caleb Addison needs to 🤐 keep his mouth shut and just go to the box.
Ref threw the book at him.
2 minute cross check was justified
Nothing says I suck at my job like punishing someone for calling out your poor performance. The refs these days need to get their egos checked.
I wish Tortatella was his coach
That ref is softer then baby shit
2 million cross checks a day but that gets called?wtf ref
