Nah, the panel called them out though



The Leafs coach also pointed out the bad calls but you're picking and choosing what he said

Canucks get bad calls all the time but at the end they try to overcome that. If you are that flustered about bad call or non calls then your team wont win much in playoffs since they are weak mentally just like some of their fans.

Still room in the league for a Byron Froese eh. #GoldenAge #MoreExpansionNowPlz

That makes no sense.

Canucks also lose games and complain about officiating.

I want fair calls both ways for every game. The NBA literally implemented the last 2 minute report in response to an official caught betting on games.

The NHL has no such accountability because Bettman believe hockey officials have more integrity than basketball officials. Does that make sense to you?

We literally had an official 'retire' because he was caught on a mic making a phantom penalty against a player because he wanted to call something for game management. Yet, still, we have no way of holding referees accountable with an impartial review of penalties for the officials to be judged by.

Well what happens in playoffs if leafs face a PP off a bad call? Not kill it??

Yeah, that could happen and has happened.

But why are we not allowed to hold officials accountable? Why are some fans so against the idea that a referee needs to call the game properly? That's literally their job.

The jersey design that the team wanted:

Wtf? How did Zary not score?

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Kadri blocked his shot.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah, that could happen and has happened.

Nobody is against the refs calling the game properly. We all question this or that call or non-call. It's just not worth going on about for hours after a game ends. I can tell you I know Trocheck was tripped, but that was years ago and not worth bringing up in this thread.

Weegar-Andersson pairing has been a nightmare lately

good thing Markstrom is on his shit

Of course because this thread is about today's games - which is what we're talking about. If you wanted to talk about 2 year old calls - start your own thread.

For things in today's games - it's fair game.

 

[hangman005]

I never want to see a shot of Pietrangelo doing that again.... it was disturbing.

 

[jackjohnson]

Because nothing has changed for decades and it won't in future. Whining about it on these boards certainly won't change that

 

[RedRocking]

How about a thread on the mains:
NHL officiating is inconsistent for the 10th straight decade! Cause for concern??

 

[Divine]

Because nothing has changed for decades and it won't in future. Whining about it on these boards certainly won't change that

So what is the purpose of these boards if not to discuss hockey?

I don't think anything we talk about on these boards will change the NHL.

That call was closer to a decade ago. I don't care to talk about it, it was meant as an example that calls are missed, we've heard your take, and said our piece. But go on. 4 to 1, you say?

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Y'all need to wrap up this discussion. Bad calls are a part of every sport, the missed pass interference calls in the NFL, the missed obvious foul in the NBA, the bad "went around" swing call in the MLB, etc. Sometimes your team will win because of bad calls, and sometimes your team will lose because of it. You accept it as part of the game and move on to the next one.

If you can't deal with that then you need to find some other form of entertainment.

You keep responding to it so I assume you're interested

 

[Pablo El Perro]

You keep responding to it so I assume you're interested

I'll quit.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

So basically you've given up on the idea that officiating can improve and that bad officiating should be embraced?

I'm sure you'll bring it up on the next bad called game against your team though.

Oh sure, over the long run and it has in fact improved with video review. But it is not going to improve between now and the next game.

trash team taking out players

 

[hangman005]

2 minutes for interference... Vegas Declines

2 minutes for interference... Vegas Declines

What? Are you again watching the replay from yesterday's game which is being played here live?

 

[hangman005]

What? Are you again watching the replay from yesterday's game which is being played here live?

No no this game.... but the rules don't say interference has to be against the other time... I assume I haven't actually fully read that rule.

The Holy Trinity of Divine copium

injuries refs goaltending

These are the only reasons the Leafs have ever lost a game
