wingslionstigers 12 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 The calls are inconsistent anyone that can't see it is a dumbass. Its getting ridicules bottom line. Every game, every period. The refs seem to have a different idea on whats going to be a penalty and whats not going to be a penalty. On top of that theres just way to many questionable calls. They also been handing out 5 on 3s like its continental breakfast. Does anybody know what the 5:3 conversation rate percentages are? I'm getting sick of this s***. Most of the games i have watched each have had 2-4 pp goals per game. How can you tell me that 4 pp goals in one game didnt change the outcome of the game? So then how can you tell me that the refs arent changing the outcome of the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 Semi-random thought- Maybe if the officials have been told to favour the losing team, and the officials don't like doing it, that's why some of the bad calls that put teams on the 5 on 3 are so blatantly bad. The refs are just doing it because they have to, hoping we'll catch on, complain, and Bettman will tell them to tone it down and they can get back to their real jobs, which is keeping the game fair. Or maybe they've all suddenly gotten blind and stupid. Who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty clear there are times when refs are officiating the game and times when they're looking for a penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
