"Let the players decide it" The truth is that by not making calls refs are even more so affecting the game. Refs let alot go in the ends of games, maybe too much. But you can't just let players commit penalties to prevent a team from scoring and let it go because "its the most important moments of the game" YOU HAVE TO MAKE CALLS because it is the most important time of the game.<BR/><BR/>PS if the rangers could hold a lead they wouldnt have been in that situation... stop crying and work on your team defenseGrant & Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007542000686651530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-72087475108955920542008-04-26T15:39:00.000-04:002008-04-26T15:39:00.000-04:00@rips it - I had a senior moment.@rips it - I had a senior moment.Young HF29https://www.blogger.com/profile/11940680843451727118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-89926998250726499982008-04-26T15:22:00.000-04:002008-04-26T15:22:00.000-04:00What on earth happened to the game day thread?

You can argue intention, but body parts are pretty obvious. <BR/><BR/>Kovy's goal was close, but this quote implies that it was the wrong call. The call was made on the ice, the replay has to show conclusively that it was the wrong call. If I was a Flyers fan I'd probably be pissed, too (for many reasons). But I don't believe anyone can say with the video for sure one way or another. Thus, the call stands.<BR/><BR/>I would have let this last one slide if it weren't followed immediately by the nonsensical Richards issue. <BR/><BR/>See, this is why the French hate English Canada. They'll never be fully accepted. All other Canadian teams are celebrated, Habs are questioned. We all if replaced Habs with Maple Leafs, the media in Canada would be calling for a suspension. <BR/><BR/>Toronto Sports Network indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-47230824276324389812008-04-26T10:55:00.000-04:002008-04-26T10:55:00.000-04:00Too many times over the course of this season, the...Too many times over the course of this season, the officials have decided the outcome of games. The objective always, but especially in the playoffs, should be to allow the players (within reason) to determine the winner. I really think they should go back to one referee. One less body on the sheet frees up some space, but more importantly it insures a measure of consistancy. I'd rather have one guy call a bad game than two. Also, vis-a-vis Syd, if you're going to be penalized for touching him or appearing to do so, make it worthwhile. Catch him with his head down in the channel and bury him like Scott Stevens would. You might get a fiver, but crap, in for a penny in for a pound. Of topic, the Rangers hold a lead like a sieve holds water.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900673722049832480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-60563252511424196902008-04-26T09:52:00.000-04:002008-04-26T09:52:00.000-04:00I'll use the comments section to give my personal ...I'll use the comments section to give my personal opinion - totally fucking bullshit call imho. A real load of crap. I won't buy any Bettman wants Sid in the Finals conspiracies, only because he probably wants the Rangers just as much, but that call should not have been made. Crosby himself in the video, says "I just tried to catch up to him and ended up falling". Give me a breakYoung HF29https://www.blogger.com/profile/11940680843451727118noreply@blogger.com
