Sometimes when fans criticize, it's because they have good reason to.

 

[trilobyte]

MJ it’s not about being consistent for the rest of the night re: embellishment!

It should be that embellishment is no longer able to be called after Sykora sold a 5 minute call.

These refs are a f***ing joke

The refs were sold by the visuals on that major

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Awful McKenna

 

[6ix]

Mckenna has no magic

 

[fahad203]

McKenna needed to drive that

 

[PG Canuck]

That would make too much sense, but the London Knights are so great!

Team needs a few more OHL players. They’d definitely be better.

 

[heynowbababooey]

So it was a cross-check and a dive eh?

These refs are ass.

How are they ass? It can literally be both. A cross check was committed then the dive occurred.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Yes, keep playing Catton and Yager, the pair of apples between them has been our saviours. Which other WHL'er has been better?

Not much ice time for those guys.

 

[ZDH]

It was definitely embellishment.

Just like sykora

Is Sykora all right?

Thots and prayers.

 

[William H Bonney]

It was definitely embellishment.

Just like sykora

No

Who is the TSN commentator, i don't mean the play-by-play dude but the other one?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He initially was very much saying it wasn't then when he saw the replay he flipped to that position.

Well, yeah, a lot of people do that.

He's also watching from the press box and not between the benches, so the angle can make things look differently.


Ritchie got a hand out and Canada got lucky to not get called there..

 

[End on a Hinote]

Who is the TSN commentator, i don't mean the play-by-play dude but the other one?

Mike Johnson

 

[kris]

Think they gotta keep Yager/McKenna together

 

[NyQuil]

Who is the TSN commentator, i don't mean the play-by-play dude but the other one?

Mike Johnson.

 

[North]

I get that, but the term "team defence" also applies. Straining the energy levels of these kids won't help long-term over the course of the game coming back down from 2.

They played Akey 2 minutes last game. They don’t care about straining energy levels.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Sure.

But they got to look at all of it in detail again at intermission.

They knew it was sold. That’s why no embellishment should be called after sykora got away with it.

They’re terrible

Mike Johnson

 

[Evil__Homer]

Refs suck yes. Canada losing cause they suck though.

 

[Chainshot]

These guys are being considered for the Olympics ?!

I mean, maybe they can be some of the folks with the shovels. I wouldn't want them officiating a mite game with how this has gone.

 

[c9gunner]

What a hot mess

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

How are they ass? It can literally be both. A cross check was committed then the dive occurred.

I’d like to see diving and embellishment as two separate penalties. Dive is only if no offending penalty occurred and embellishment if you embellish an actual call.

 

[LeafGrief]

McKenna very consistently throws the puck into good areas. Unfortunately, he has not yet figured out to consistently get his head up before those passes because he’s throwing it away a lot.

 

[Nineteen67]

Drop your shoulder and drive to the net and quit trying to figure skate

 

[trilobyte]

Sure.

But they got to look at all of it in detail again at intermission.

They knew it was sold. That’s why no embellishment should be called after sykora got away with it.

They’re terible

I think we agree. Consistency is what is needed
