[Raspewtin]

vinny come the f*** on

 

[Machinehead]

It's a stupid rule but they have to call it

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

How the hell is that a penalty? Trocheck would’ve been going the other way.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Jesus, these refs are going to call every chintzy little f***ing thing apparently.

 

[duhmetreE]

Refs showed up

 

[Kords]

Refs forcing way too much influence over the game here

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Stop teaching kids in peewee to do this if it's going to be a penalty in the pros.

 

[Synergy27]

This game is pretty dumb so far.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Refs are dictating the game...that kid needs to grip his stick firmer.

 

[Atax]

I mean thats a penalty lol

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Refs forcing way too much influence over the game here

We need them to. I was told we can't do shit 5 on 5.

 

[EdJovanovski]

All 3 calls are pathetically soft

 

[jniklast]

Well that's legit

 

[ReddestRum]

Refs are calling them, but I don't know what Tro was bitching for. That's a textbook slash.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Oh never mind, that's a penalty.

 

[Jauffre]

Refs think this is their time to shine

 

[hardnosed]

Is everything a penalty today?

Could have ignored all 3 of those

 

[CasusBelli]

The Tampa / Florida game was much better.

 

[Atax]

Literally a penalty lads.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Come on, that's a stick lift

Edit: Ignore me, I got that wrong.

 

[GAGLine]

Stop teaching kids in peewee to do this if it's going to be a penalty in the pros.

It looked to me like Trocheck got the stick from underneath. That shouldn't be a penalty.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Very worrying signs.

 

[GG96]

It shouldn’t be called if the guy has a weak grip. Just tell guys to throw their sticks down every time they are touched then

 

[Synergy27]

That’s a blatant penalty by Tro.

The Rempe penalty was just the refs neutering him upfront.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

This start is hilarious.

I’m convinced the second PP unit actually isn’t interested in getting possession. They’re purely out there to wind down the clock.
