Popular Post Rindiculous Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 So the Nhl came out and apologized to George McPhee about the call in Game 7. The refs from that game O’Halloran and Ferlatt have been told they won’t ref for the rest of the playoffs. Honestly I wouldn’t have a problem with this if the NHL always did this, but they HAVEN’T! This is the first time ever they’ve done this and not only that they’ve done it to the newest franchise basically saying that this team is the sweetheart of the NHL. This makes me feel absolutely sick being a Canucks fan being screwed time and time again by the refs with no apology. Vegas fans get the golden treatment without any suffering at all and it is sick. Also, why are these refs suspended, but Kelly Sutherland who made an arguably worse call in game 2 allowed to continue reffing? I know all of us can agree that Sutherland has probably made the most bad calls in the NHL yet is given a free pass. Sure a lot of you were Vegas fans last series but I’m sure you can agree with me that the NHL doing this is just stab in the back to us Canucks fans. 1 3 8 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) What an embarrassment. Why apologize now, when they've been woefully and totally incompetent for decades? Will Gillis get one for the completely lopsided job done in 2011?

Popular Post theo5789 Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hey Vegas, sorry for the bad call, this happens all the time. Maybe get your PK in order and not let in 4 goals in 5 minutes. How can the league bend so your PK can improve? 4 5 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bure_Pavel Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 P*ssy move by the NHL, stand by your refs. Deal with the call internally. Not the worst call made in the history of hockey. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 Surprised the NHL (Bettman) didn't give VGK a couple of extra 1st round picks for their "trouble". Bugs me enough that they are exempt from the expansion draft (SEA). 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) The apology was not a public apology. It was not intended to be George McPhee said they did The NHL reached out to George McPhee to issue an apology for the officiating in Game 7, the Vegas Golden Knights general manager told reporters, including The Athletic's Jesse Granger, on Thursday.

mll Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 NJD got an apology from the league a couple of seasons ago - it was a regular season game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When those officials are no longer to be seen for the rest of the playoffs, I think people will be able to figure it out anyway. And as the post after your mentions, it was never a public apology.

-DLC- Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's not what you don't know, it's who you don't know against? Something like that. It's like suspending Kadri for "the rest of the round". So 2-5 games. The inconsistency and ironing of it all. It's time for the league to come clean and start having some integrity. This is just another show of pretending they do...they dabble in it in a pick and choose way that is mostly based on the jersey logo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs should be held accountable. They are graded. There are 40 officials that start in the 1st round and only 24 make it to the 2nd round based on their performance. The refs are paid over 18K per round so missing a round costs them. Edited April 25, 2019 by mll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Was one of the worst calls I've seen. If that was a penalty, half the guys taking faceoffs should be permanently in the penalty box. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hey Vegas, sorry we gave you the impression last year that reffing would be consistent and reasonable. This wasn't our intention or our policy. Sincerely, Don Van Massenhoven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 Terrible call, but maybe not as terrible as VGK's PK when it mattered most. If Fleury made a couple of extra saves, this would be a non-issue. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
