OT: Any Video evidence of refs jobbing Leafs in this thread plz.

[Wafflewhipper]

I personally care... I can’t catch every game, and highlights typically don’t show the non calls or the bad calls.

Awesome. I don’t see the problem either. It’s just a great quick reference in one thread where we can unfortunately see the nonsense calls they tag us with. It’s been going on for years so about time we do it this way really. Glad you find it useful bro

 

[GBLeaf]

why does this thread exist? the NHL doesn't care what people on a forum think. So complaining about it won't help

That's it then, close HF. The NHL doesn't care, so stop talking about it.

Game 5 Boston. 3 years ago.

Series 3-1 Boston

elimination game.

Boston had 5 back to back power plays.
Boston... VS Babcocks Leafs where Hyman was the toughest guy lmfao.

if that isn’t rigged, jobbed, paid off, fleeced I dunno what is.

it for sure is rigged for parity. They’ll let Boston or Tampa climb into presidents trophy territory. But not the leafs.

Canadian ratings don’t matter. USA is all that matters.

we’re talking the country that bombs other countries annually and let Boeing fly planes with a faulty sensor. Twice.


Same country that spied on all g7 countries by way of NSA for years but claims Huawei is a threat to them, when China builds everything for the g7.

Same country that would seize Covid masks from Europe and Canada for own benefit.

this country just allowed Wall st to save over billions of dollars on shorts but allow regular investors to lose life savings by freezing trading platforms.

You think Bettman and his network board are willing to lose 100millions because the Leafs are presidents trophy winners and get spotlight

hahahahahahaha

NHl board of directors is the owner of the bruins. Wonder why Marchand can French kiss and cause injuries but he has same penalty minutes as Nylander

We're all going to die; everything is meaningless.

We can go deeper. If a person can really understand forever there will always be a tomorrow. Shuffle the atoms and molecules enough times, we are all coming back. Groundhog day.

Looks like tonight’s ref is the same one that gave Keefe the bench minor

Should be a “fairly” called game lmao

Looking for a second straight night of "La première étoile du match, Graham Skilliter!"

Any theories on why that Mikheyev goal didn't count?

I mean it's the NHL. Goaltender interference calls are basically randomly generated at this point.

The fact that some people are so certain it was interference and some people are arguing it absolutely wasn't speaks exactly to the problem.

There is literally no way to know what is and isn't goaltender interference unless it's completely blatant.

Go back to the crease rule and let's be done with this shit.

Graham Skilliter was also the ref that called back the Joe Thornton pad shuffle, and it looks like his calls against the Leafs have been documented in the past, so we might actually be dealing with a rotten apple here. Sometimes things aren't conspiracies, they're just out in the open.

I guess because he went in the blue paint on his own and they deemed that the goalie couldn’t get across the crease cleanly. It’s all about protecting the goalies when they’re in the blue paint so I guess it makes sense.

Compare and contrast Matthew Tkachuk's knees on Jack Campbell.

 

[colchar]

I started it to log all the video of crap calls or non calls in our games. Don’t read it man. I’m not really caring what you think either. I guess there’s a trend in that regard ha. Its turned out to be a catalog of incompetence everyone complains about in separate threads all in one and it’s got weight too. You don’t have to post or view.

It has weight? And what weight, exactly, does it have? Do you think a bunch of fans crying on a forum makes a damned bit of difference to anybody?

Not you. You think i care what you think. You don’t like it go away. I don’t need you in here. Enough of us enjoy this thread. I don’t expect you to understand this thread. You never fought for anything in yer life probably.

Consistency in the NHL league is ridiculous, they really need to work it. I actually thought Tkachuk would get a suspension for that, so shows what I know.

Twitter is saying we're 1-15 with Skilliter as a referee. That can't happen randomly.

That being said, consistency on goaltender interference calls is an issue league wide - you wouldn't need referees to make random judgement calls if there was a clear standard or rule - or even let the war room just make all the calls unilaterally.

It can eventually.

It's called people power. Shouldn't need explaining.

Hey he better be careful he might get a raise from his supervisor Campbell. Thats who is in the war room in Toronto isn’t it.
Whete is the war room at in Toronto?

I'd say it's one of those agenda meets opportunity situations. I don't think Keefe goes into a diatribe if there wasn't history with this official. And any chance that a call could go against Toronto, it will.

It's just unprofessional of the NHL to employ people who bring so much of their own personal baggage to the job. Doesn't make me want to go out there and spend money on merchandise, hundreds of dollars on a night out at future NHL games just to have a zebra decide games like that.

Vote with your money!

Kudos to you for those references dude, I'm with ya, although I know most people here don't believe conspiracies exist for some reason unless the gov't declares it so.

But the point is this - money has a huge influence now, specifically from the betting side but from the marketing side as well, and it will always be clouded and obscured by the powers that be for their own self protection, even if they aren't directly involved in the scam, because it protects their own self interests.

All about money.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to get any better. Remember, a lot of refs grow up as huge hockey fans themselves. This generation of non-Ontarian Canadian hockey fans that are now becoming refs - they all grew up hating the Leafs moreso than previous generations as there wasn't the same level of media attention, social media, etc.

As a lot of the older refs retire, each new wave will have more innate bias against the Leafs that any ref class before. No matter how hard they try and be impartial - human nature means it'll creep up now and then.

I guarantee you media people trawl the boards and social media for talking points from time to time, so these things get filtered up to talk radio (counting on you, Overdrive), and into the public conversation.

The NHL needs to ask itself, is a fan more likely to go spend money on merchandise when an official calls a bench minor on an irate coach that turns into a 5 on 3 that ultimately decides a game?

 

[socko]

I wasn't surprised the Mikheyev goal was called off. I think they call that off almost every time in 2021. If you want to talk about reffing, that missed call on Rielly in OT was the kind of bad call that would be in the running for bad call of the year.

You think the US government controls the NHL, and that the NHL makes hundreds of millions based on the President's Trophy winner? Either grow up or go back on your meds.

You might want to learn that the US government doesn't control the NHL.
