Former Referee and Officiating Director Calls out TOR-BOS Game 2 Officials.

[easton117]

They have not been calling the interference enough on both sides. Plus they should call all the series at least in a similar fashion.

There isn’t a team that Babcock has coached since he began his career, whatever backwater western Canadian league it might have been, that should complain about interference.

His teams do it well. Don’t bitch about it. It won’t go well for whoever he’s in charge of.

I was posting about it in the GDT all game. Looked like a work to me.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

Nope. The charge call on Pasta was a joke.

The Toronto victim complex is out of control. Still whining about a high stick from 1993.
Oh and here's another missed penalty Kadri should have been calles for:

Are you slow? He clearly let his feet and jumped upwards into Muzzin's head.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Somehow, I’ve still never even heard of Bryan Lewis.

If you're under 60, then yeah - you probably haven't.

 

[Gallagbi]

Nope. Their skates collided and he was on the ice.

Not going to address that gif?

That it was one of many missed calls in the game? Looks more similar to the Debrusk crosscheck/punch from Game 2 than Kadri's suspension worthy cross check.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

Nope. Their skates collided and he was on the ice.

For future reference. Here's a clean textbook hit.

What an objective and unbiased opinion. I mean, it's not like he grew up an hour from Toronto as a Maple Leafs fan. This guy is as objective as it gets. You won't find a more unbiased opinion than that of a local Toronto area politician....

 

[BruinsBtn]

The Toronto media should be ashamed of themselves for jumping through hoops to justify something that cant be justified.

No wonder the National Post dumped Traikos.

Unless you're 12 you probably shouldn't admit to that. Was a great ref in his time. ... He has political aspirations in Ontario now so ...

 

[ZJuice]

I feel ashamed that I missed this game. Highlights don’t do it justice

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

He did not leave his feet until contact was made which is what made him go upwards. Show me the video where his feet leave the ice before contact, you will never find it. Go ahead and post that video and show everyone what you are talking about, any leaf fan here can post it, let’s go, show everyone you are all not full of ****.

I looked for the hit on youtube but alas couldn't find it. I know for a fact he left his feet early and they replayed it a couple times. I would have to edit it out of the game tape, which I don't have. The penalty was about the only thing the refs got right last night.

In my experience if you don’t know the refs name it means he is doing a good job

Unless it’s Wes because of the “5 minutes... for FIGHTING!”

Yep. Lots of Bruins rocked in the series. Lots of penalties missed against them too. Yet only one side is acting like the victim and it's not the side of the guy who got crosschecked in the head twice.

 

[Space umpire]

So that game was called fairly then?

I thought so and I'm not a fan of either team.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Hey now, it's actually inconceivable to imagine we get an article with Chris Rooney defending the Bruins from the officiating.

Extremely underrated.

You know jack shit because they showed it on TSN, Sports Net and they were almost in tears because he didn’t leave his feet, in fact he slowed down before making contact. Get over yourself, you lost the game. The Bruins are the team that lost three players in game with injuries and you don’t hear a peep, leafs have been in tears for over 24 hours.

Edit: I guess someone found it for you, now you have to move on to some other bullshit complaint

Care to recosider?

The irony is the Bruins lost three players to the escalation of violence in that game and they're the ones acting like it benefited them.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Amusing, coming from the fanbase that's always whining about bad officiating every time they lose to Montreal. I guess that's the by-product of people who watch hockey with Jack Edwards calling games.

No kidding eh.

 

[member 96824]

Shocking article. Probably will be right up there in history with Bobby Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovering Watergate.

You knew who was reffing the game in the 60's and 70's. ... Most of the linesman as well. Maybe just because less teams meant fewer of them so you got used to seeing them.

Feet in the air = 'doesn't jump'

They won.
If they die, they die. :shug

 

[BruinsBtn]

Rules=you're allowed to elevate after contact. It's physics.

 

[CDJ]

I mean this is just getting pathetic at this point

Have some pride guys

I feel like Michael Bisping at the press conference with Rockhold when Luke started yammering about being a samurai.
