Wes Mcaulley will be officiating the next Chiefs game at this rate.

(all the other threads were locked I think)

Edit, I guess it was just the one locked.
 
How wonder how Vancouver will look after trading Miller, Boeser and maybe Demko.
Miller is the only player with any heart on that team. I respect his hustle. With him gone, soft swede and little boy Hughes will be their leaders (yikes), and Hughes is going to NJ to be with his bros as soon as he can. They'll be back to rebuild mode soon enough.

Out of all that happened on the weekend, seeing Wes MacAuley repeated cited as "the best in the league" is completely f***ing baffling to me. He's a dog shit referee and was long before he single handedly imploded the game last weekend.

Like most referees in the league north of 45, he's a pure game manager, has a massive ego, loves hearing himself, and goes totally sideways if ever questioned or challenged. Beyond the Garland bullshit, the one that sums him up was the slash call on Bouchard. Miller cross checks him, then Bouch slashes him, and Wes saw both. There is no reason whatsoever to only take one 2 mins into a game where nothing happened. Non-stupid referees take both and then tell them they're only taking one next time. Over. Not him, for whatever reason he decided that the Oilers were the target that night, they score, game changes. All because he decided to drive an agenda from puck drop.

Whenever I hear he's the best I just ask "why do you think that?" Seems he's considered "the best" for no reason other than some folks are smitten by his cute theatrics. He's a joke.

Hughes, Miller, Boesser and Joshua are the only players I fear on that team and 2 of them will be gone by the end of this season.

Agreed. I hated the slobbering over him for years because he makes exaggerated calls that make it all about him. Pure ego move.

These refs are all the nerds that weren't good enough to make the show and now they have power over the cool kids that gave them wedgies and stuffed them in gym lockers. Wes is a f***ing nerd.

It’s possible every Canadian team makes the playoffs. However much I dislike some of ‘em I dislike Bettman more so it would be funny to watch his explode if it were to happen.

Genuine question (I’m unsure of where to put this but around the league seems most relevant since we’re addressing other team/fans):

Does my response to the above qualify as flaming in any capacity? I’ve lost my “like” ability because of that response?

Numerous posts across Oilers threads are more inflammatory than mine and remain up.

Both the Canucks and flames ain’t making the playoffs. It will be one or the other imo.
