mll Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'd be curious to see the play from the on-ice perspective and in real time - not slowed down. Not sure it's really possible to grasp what refs are seeing on the ice as the angles are not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't that have happened here if they felt the wrong call was made? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Umm. Waiting for the apology on the hatchet job reffing the 2011 finals. I love the NHL but it's a joke at times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdean10 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Instead of just apologizing, maybe change the rules where a call they're thinking of making 5 min, can get reviewed, at least in the playoffs. It was a terrible call that they just called based on the injury. Apologizing doesn't really help Vegas. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADDYROCK Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I AM SURPRIZED, USUALLY THE NHL BRASS HIDES WHEN THE POOP HITS THE FAN. Too late to have your crappy refs suspended,they have been this bad for years and years. Look at that play on Brooks Orpic last night, when a guy(Martinook?) comes skating up behind him grabs him from behind and drags him down on his head to the ice,AND NO CALL FROM THE REFS. WHAT A JOKE THIS LEAGUE IS BECOMING.LOOKING AFTER THE PLAYERS SAFETY. HA! JUST SO BLATANTLY CORRUPT! JUST THE STATES DOING THERE REGULAR THING I GUESS. THAT'S WHY CANADA HASN'T WON A CUP IN DECADES. YES, I am yelling mad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 When it comes to officiating, I simply assume incompetence and am pleasantly surprised when that isn't the case. The NHL (as well as other sports) has known for a LONG, LONG time that their refs can't handle the job - why do people think video-replay exists? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Will they apologize to Toronto for allowing them in the league still to continually embarrass themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Quote We're sorry about the blown call, please enjoy a higher than anticipated draft pick during our next rigged draft lottery. Signed, Gary Bear and the rest of the gang. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Still seeing Vegas reporters and fans crying about the call makes me happy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The only thing that would make this better would be if they took draft picks from Vancouver and gave them to VGK to make up for the blown call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's about time officials were held accountable. O'Halloran is a known problem referee who realistically shouldn't be employed at all. Hopefully the league cracks down and this shows all the programs that their continued lack of professionalism is completely unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 what a joke theplay was dirtyhe injured pavelski guy hit his skull onthe ice due to a crosscheck and stasny interferring with him gtfo 5 minute major was right call learn to penalty kill vegas. thats ridiciulous maybe the league should take awaybruins cup for the worst reffing ever in 2011 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFalcon Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So I guess this just means refs have more of an incentive to let things go. Because why risk making a call of a major and screwing it up and get hit like this when you could just act like you didn't really see it clearly and not have to worry about risking your income.

xereau Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It would make sense that if you can stop play to check an offside, you should be able to stop play to make sure you got the call right on a 5min major. Easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Tbh it was a 5 minute major but they just called it on the wrong guy. Eakin lifts Pavelski with the cross check but Stastny is the one who then catches him and pile drives him to the ice head first. It’s not even as if the puck was there or in the Vegas corner. Pavelski won the faceoff and was going to the front of the net to get positioning. Eakin makes him airborne but the real infraction was then Stastny slamming him down as the puck is nowhere near him. Stastny should have been tagged for roughing or interference and the 5 because it’s not a small deal what happened to Pavelski. Gruesome to say the least. ...and screw the NHL for sucking up to Vegas. Never have they done this before but their shiny new toy the Golden Knights, they’ll finely go out publicly to reassure them it was a mistake and they own up to it when things happen. Lmao gtfo here. What a joke. How about the past 10+ years of poor reffing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I really wish people would stop with this assertion that the Canucks were screwed by the refs in 2011. We got significantly more PP time than Boston did. We just didn't take advantage the way we had all season. The real reason for the loss was too many banged up regulars and a goaltending tandem with a .902 SV percentage, vs Tim Thomas' .967 % 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke. How about the past 10+ years of poor reffing? Did you even watch it? at no point does Stastny slam him down. Eakin crosschecked Pavelski into Statsny and he just ran into him. Statsny did absolutely nothing wrong. If anything should have been a two for cross-checking by Eakins. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were still missed calls but clearly it wasn't making a difference. Tim Thomas was insane, that's really all there was to it.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Bad call but they did allow 4 goals in 5 minutes rotfl. They would have a point if it was one or two. But it still wouldn't have mattered because they had the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
