NHL refs are the top tier hockey officials and get paid handsomely to be "the best". Not the worst. I hate this argument. I don't have to have experience flying a helicopter to see one crash. Unless you have personally flown a helicopter you cannot judge. For all you know crashing a helicopter is normal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever actually performed a vasectomy? It’s very technical and it all happens pretty fast. Unless you have ever performed one yourself you just have to accept that it’s a hard job and move on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more concerned if your brother went in for a vasectomy and came out as your new sister. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he went in for a vasectomy I’d say that’s a problem. Then again I’ve never performed one before so my opinion is invalid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked with a deep U.S. south lady, wicked sense of humour. Came into work one day all happy and announced she was getting a divorce. By lunch time she was all mopey saying divorce was off as "Turns out he'd still be my brother, so what's the point?" 9 minutes ago, Roger Neilsons Towel said: Unless you have personally flown a helicopter you cannot judge.

Hairy Kneel Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Watched a game today, a linesman got hurt and left the game. The remaining linesman toggled from blue line to blue line. And a referee dropped the puck on the far side. The extra room was very noticeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough when one guy misses a call, but when both miss it? Isn't the point of two refs is to catch what the one ref would miss? The other thing is, because there are now 4 "officials" on the ice, it gives the players even less room. I'd prefer reverting back to only one game changer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply abused your power when questioned. no wonder you're defending the Colin Campbells! anyhow - it's all just in jest - (but as an avid sports fan - I don't hesitate to say that in spite of all of them being human/imperfect, the NHL has the worst standard of officiating, consistency - and conduct - of any of the 'major' sports empires).

I'm no fan of officials and obviously no official is perfect, but the amount of whining on this board is unreal. Officiating hockey isn't like other sports, it is, hands down, the hardest sport to officiate and to have no understanding of that and whine incessantly is ridiculous.........not you, but many on this board 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officiating hockey isn't like other sports, it is, hands down, the hardest sport to officiate and to have no understanding of that and whine incessantly is ridiculous.........not you, but many on this board From my perspective I think it would be harder to officiate football - than hockey. So many players on the field, so many players compacted into small spaces, and such a large field with so many off-the-ball infractions.... But regardless of that - yes, all fans of every team complain about officiating - however I think the NHL earns the title of, by far, the most room for improvement and professionalism. I don't recall, for example, 'game management' being common currency in any other sport - whereas in the NHL it's a catchphrase/umbrella under which all kinds of inconsistencies are rationalized.

camaro ss Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Actually playing Canadian teams all the time I found the officiating not bad. It’s when we play American teams the officiating is bad. It all comes down to who’s in charge of them. And u know who that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
