I don't know what the fascination is with Wes McCauley by the NHL, flat out he is a bad referee.

I've always maintained that he's the poster-ref for all the problems with the NHL's referees. He calls the game by the flow, even up calls to make the game "fair" even if one team is playing by the book and the other is taking obvious runs.

And that's ignoring that he tries to make the game about himself with his grandstanding.

As much as they pretend playoff opportunities for refs are merit based, much of it is seniority based and shitty refs who have simply reffed a lot of games get more chances than they should

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'm gonna need Barkley to tell that story about EIchel not recognizing him one more time. lol...

 

[bustamente]

Florida just looks like a team that doesn't have anymore to give, the hitting has disappeared, no offence and Bob can only do so much

 

[SCP Guy]

Kitties are done

 

[bustamente]

A greasy goal can get you going, you never know

 

[jetsforever]

Need 2 more

 

[SCP Guy]

Be quiet you idiot

 

[jetsv2]

Cats are cooked. This is just window dressing to hide the fact it's over.

Wes McCauley blows the play dead for no reason and then lets a blatant crosscheck go

He stopped play for NO reason with less than 2 min in the Vegas zone, Cats pressing.

WTF

WTF

The momentum that Florida had was too exciting, it was taking his spotlight.

 

[jetsforever]

He needs to stop losing his cool but Tkachuk is such an awesome player.

 

[gojetsgo]

pretty sure they stopped the play because of the contact on the goalie

 

[SCP Guy]

pretty sure they stopped the play because of the contact on the goalie

Is that in the rule book? Ref can stop the play if the goalie it bumped? Is that not a penalty if so?

 

[Duke749]

Was he injured or something? No. But saw someone say his helmet might have been loose. Couldn’t tell from the TNT feed because Eddie O. is zoning out and doesn’t know what’s going on half the time. Not to mention his clear bias which is even more annoying.

 

[None]

It's not a stoppage unless a goaltender interference penalty is called and he obviously didn't call the penalty so...?

maybe florida caught a break then that they only blew the play dead

 

[AlphaLackey]

if florida loses this game people better not blame bob again lol

It's not blaming Bobrovsky to say that the Panthers lost in no small part because he is no longer high-rolling like a savage. He's a mediocre goalie who finally had two mediocre games after two disastrous ones. But he's not to blame for being unable to continually bend the laws of probability in his favor.

This point of view comes across as a synclastic infundibulum.

This point of view comes across as a synclastic infundibulum.

CHRONO-SYNCLASTIC INFUNDIBULA—Just imagine that your Daddy is the smartest man who ever lived on Earth, and he knows everything there is to find out, and he is exactly right about everything, and he can prove he is right about everything. Now imagine another little child on some nice world a million light years away, and that little child’s Daddy is the smartest man who ever lived on that nice world so far away. And he is just as smart and just as right as your Daddy is. Both Daddies are smart, and both Daddies are right. Only if they ever met each other they would get into a terrible argument, because they wouldn’t agree on anything. Now, you can say that your Daddy is right and the other little child’s Daddy is wrong, but the Universe is an awfully big place. There is room enough for an awful lot of people to be right about things and still not agree. The reason both Daddies can be right and still get into terrible fights is because there are so many different ways of being right. There are places in the Universe, though, where each Daddy could finally catch on to what the other Daddy was talking about. These places are where all the different kinds of truths fit together as nicely as the parts in your Daddy’s solar watch. We call these places chrono-synclastic infundibula. The Solar System seems to be full of chrono-synclastic infundibula. There is one great big one we are sure of that likes to stay between Earth and Mars. We know about that one because an Earth man and his Earth dog ran right into it. You might think it would be nice to go to a chrono-synclastic infundibulum and see all the different ways to be absolutely right, but it is a very dangerous thing to do. The poor man and his poor dog are scattered far and wide, not just through space, but through time, too. Chrono (kroh-no) means time. Synclastic (sin-class-tick) means curved toward the same side in all directions, like the skin of an orange. Infundibulum (in-fun-dib-u-lum) is what the ancient Romans like Julius Caesar and Nero called a funnel. If you don’t know what a funnel is, get Mommy to show you one.
