Refs do not call tv timeouts. They come from above. In Kingston the time keeper blows the buzzer for that.
Well aware but sometimes the timekeepers mess up and with the 2nd timeout this year I know it's been a little confusing for our timekeepers in Saginaw.
The only reason I saw it is because there was a whistle exactly at 14:00 when a penalty was called and the Soo coach was hoping for the timeout because he wanted to draw up a play. Since the timeout comes at the first whistle after 14min, it was denied by the timekeeper and then 30-seconds later at the next whistle Brennan was looking at the timekeeper making a "T" with her hands and she seemed confused. Referees are allowed to make mistakes but she missed a ton that Faist had to call (he wasn't looking half the time either) and then like I said, they wasted my time with the Hache review when it was an easy boarding call.
Saginaw needs to clean up their penalties ASAP...while I seem like I'm harping on the officials, most of the calls were totally legit and it's just dumb things by the Spirit players. Thank God we're #1 on the PK because if we weren't we'd be in big trouble because we take a lot of penalties.
