I definitely did prefer when the refs were allowed to have personalities. Fraser's hair and McCreary's mustache (as examples) were part of the experience when I watched games as a kid.

Now they can't have any facial hair, have to cut their hair to less than a certain length, and are considerably more anonymous. And anonymity is the enemy of accountability.

On a side note.. Damn..Svechnikov and those lacrosse style goals.
He's a shifty mofo..
 
Not having a Captain?

This comment belongs in some sort of Hall of Fame.

you’d be surprised but you shouldn’t be. There’s a level of respect captains get across the league we have a rookie coach and no leadership and the refs treat us that way. You think it’s just coincidence it’s not. There’s a human element to refereeing

Koharski's doughnuts. Champoux's shampoo.
 
Ref calls..Meh
They suck but create your own breaks by working hard
When it comes to tonight, sure. But in regards to the Nashville game, hell no. That was one of the most ridiculously reffed games I’ve ever seen. You can only “beat the refs” and “catch your own breaks” for so long.

But yea for the vast majority of games, teams should work hard and outplay the refs if the calls aren’t going in their favor.

You have come up with a new theory based on zero evidence.
 
Some of those calls were horrendous and has nothing do with working hard. Its plain incompetence.

That's the way it goes.
The Rangers aren't the only team to get bad calls.
It is what it is so make your breaks and move fwd..
