So the "voices in the officiating community" appear to be dumber than anticipated. Wish I could say I was surprised.

No, idiot. If they call the penalty and the Oilers shoot the puck in the net it wouldn't be whistled because the Nucks don't have the puck. Insane that someone who is purportedly in the "community" would utter something that is so on the surface ridiculous. So clinically unable to even faintly criticize these morons that they have to basically pretend they don't know the basics of when a delayed call is whistled.

I can't believe I just read that.
How about just call the game straight-up and live with the consequences. It is ridiculous to believe that any ref could justify no call on Garland.
 
And the NHL won’t say anything about the brutal reffing that lead up to the exchange. Call the obvious penalty in the first place and none of that happens.
Why would they? They want the league to be even. That means stars don’t draw penalties and holding McDavid and the like is encouraged for parity.

Three games for a glancing shot to the helmet with no injury and Garland wasn’t even phased. If that’s a Vegas player or Tampa player in McDavid’s spot, it’s maybe a fine. Soucey gets one for a crosscheck to the neck. McDavid gets three for a far less dangerous play.
 
I dont know why people think hes a good ref, because he has a couple tiktok clips of him calling penalties where he makes the game about him?

But but but he said TwO mINUtES EaCH FoR FiGHTing. So funny hahahaaaaa.

Look at jackass Kelly Sutherland for example from a month ago.

Pietro got 1 game for trying to end Draisaitl's playoffs.
 
And if the Oilers club had any balls they wouldn't do any media avails until after Mcdavid returns and Both Coach and GM should be receiving fines.
If you expect your best(1/2) Player to go through the wall for you. You better be willing to do the same
 
I f***ing knew that they would make it 3. I just knew it.

Like pretty much every interaction between the Oilers and the DoPS, the penalty is absurd and without any justification in precedence.

Just like many other times, there is a precedent for what to do here. Matthews did the same f***ing thing to Dahlin and it was 2 games. Oh an Oiler this time? Make it 3. Just like when Nurse ate a game for instigating in the final 5 minutes despite those same penalties being reversed almost as a rule. Every other time, except that.

Then for them to equate the McDavid action, which was a clear spur of the moment response in frustration to Myers who looked a guy straight in the eyes and sticked him......

For about the 50th time - can someone in this org stand on a soap box and call out this bullshit for what it is? Just once?
