Second missed high stick tonight

I swear we never get high sticking calls

 

[dracom]

JST needs to be fired or only be allowed to ref in the AHL. he's objectively not good at his job.

 

[Static]

Come ON Leo

I hated that period. They have no idea what to do with space because they don't usually have it.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Just atrocious. How do you miss that

 

[robbieboy3686]

I really hope Leo pulls it together

 

[190Octane]

Follow through on a shot, that isn’t a penalty.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Not a great period. Way too many turnovers. And these refs really suck.

 

[cheesymc]

Cutter should have whipped his blood on the ref accidentally since he apparently didn’t get high sticked

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Two bad teams going at it. f*** these refs though.

 

[Ducks DVM]

JST needs to be fired or only be allowed to ref in the AHL. he's objectively not good at his job.

He’s every bit as bad there as well

 

[robbieboy3686]

Mac is drunk

He’s definitely not the sharpest

 

[Static]

Yeah, finally saw the replay and good non-call

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Agreed. It almost like they are a little too cute because they believe they are way better than the Hawks.

Hey, at least Cronin has them playing with confidence.

 

[dracom]

it'll never happen because the league cuddles refs to an insane degree, but it would be nice if refs came out after a game and explained why some calls were made/weren't made.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Look at the bright side - only 3 more O6 games left on the schedule.

 

[KelVarnsen]

He’s definitely not the sharpest

Tool in the shed? Agreed. He’s not.

 

[duckaroosky]

Get Ahlers some water

 

[duckpuck]

I feel like JST over compensates for the fact that he played for the ducks (sort of) by calling games in favor of their opponents.

Ranch?

 

[slippingsloth]

Good on sudsy. Cheers to beating back the big c

 

[190Octane]

FYI, for those wondering why that wasn’t called…

“A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for their sticks. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal wind up or follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off. A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal wind up or follow through and any contact with an opponent above the height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.”

Just have to wonder why he is so consistently against us

What is it

Technically he wasn't shooting, but I think the same rule applies to passes (??).

Explains only one of them

 

[70sSanO]

When the refs refuse to make calls, they really aren’t missed, it is Cronin’s fault.

If we had a real coach that wouldn’t happen. Does anyone think a coach like Quenneville would not have ripped the refs up one side and down the other?

Eakins and now Cronin have zero credibility, so our players pay the price.

Cronin is such a piece of $#&@. He such a tough guy with the players but can’t stand up for them with the refs. He gets kicked out of one game and now he just shrinks away.
