Crappy teams and lazy players blame the ref.

 

Good teams don't make excuses....   Our club needs to take responsibility, our top 6 needs to be better.... Much better. 

of course good teams make excuses!

I think you've misunderstood my point with regards to slowing the game down. 

So clarify then please.

Get out there then stripes, we need your 80/20 vision.

Immature one liners isn't really making any points. You and other apologists keep evading the fact that Minnie got away with exactly the same things we got called for and some of them were more egregious. One Wild player gave 4 quick cross-checks to Petey with the last one up around his neck/head area with no call. Myers cross-check penalty was way less of a penalty.

 

 

 

I see the "they're only human" card has been played. Yup!

And I expect you to be behind the bench, coaching.  Because Green doesn't have your knowledge or experience.

 

I'm moving on now and not playing this game.  When you defer to attacks rather than giving reasonable responses, it speaks volumes.

 

FTR, it should be completely unbiased.  Start there.

 

Have a great day.

It is. I guess someone started for you.

Heads up:

 

 

There's only one thing wrong with this. I'm on holiday with the wife and this fall right around dinner time. It's easier to wake up in the middle of the night and then have a nap during the day. I'll need to be smart about this one. Any help from cdc would be appreciated.

Perfect reffing without human error would require regular play stoppages & reviews for potential penalties. You'd be talking football level of play stoppages. It's not a realistic expectation for refs to get 100% of the calls right 100% of the time, no matter the level. 

 

The game was reffed reasonably (in my opinion), but even if you disagree, do you really think that the Canucks deserved to win based on their effort as a team, especially in the 3rd when it was most needed? Reffing did not decide this game, missed call or two had little bearing on the ultimate outcome.

That's avoiding the direct question.  I didn't ask for your opinion on perfect games or not...I'm asking how 2 penalties in the opening 4 minutes of a game isn't "slowing it down"?

 

You still haven't answered that.  Without all the fluff.

Unless you want a game that slows down significantly due to far more stoppages in play and lengthy reviews, then we can't take human error out of reffing. Until robot refs are created, you won't get perfection. 

 

I watched the full game. The reffing was fine. 

well then lets just not slow the game down and don't have penalties on either side!   so your saying only call some on one team and the same penalty miss on the on the other?

What are you talking about? 

 

Your initial point was that at this level, there cannot be human error with refs. 

 

I responded with what I just reiterated regarding how that unrealistic and would slow the game down (no human error would require stoppages every 30 seconds max to review all corner play/scrums, etc.)

 

What am I supposed to be answering? Is 2 penalties in 4 minutes slowing the game down? I guess somewhat? No clue what that has to do with the original discussion?

How does slotting Sutter into the 3rd line help our offense?

 

Here Jake you can have your chance but you have to play with Sutter as your center so don’t expect any good playmaking.

Calling me blind and telling me I'm not allowed to cheer for the team because I felt it was reffed fine is unwelcome to me.  

 

I don't want refs calling physical play because it makes playoff hockey intense.

I feel for wild fans. These games are late for us imagine what it's like for them lol
