The Olympics was the best officiated hockey I have seen in my lifetime... 2 Drake_Marcus and Original-Six reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I hope that this will help to lead the way for other European officials in the future as well. Personally, I look forward to having the chance to work with, and learn from, the best officials in the best League in the world." :looney: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest micah Report post Posted May 20, 2010 :looney: Why are you confused? He wants to learn from "the best officials", distinct from "average officials", in "the best league in the world" which is certainly the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wants to learn from "the best officials", distinct from "average officials", in "the best league in the world" which is certainly the NHL. I get it now! The NHL is the best league and he wants to learn from the two refs who actually know their Nash from a Boll in the ground. It's all so clear to me now. I had thought he was saying we had the best officials in the world. I was going to check his immigration card to make sure that he wasn't part of a Swedish terrorist group targeting mullets. Welcome to him. Bork! Bork! Bork! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
