not sure whats worse, the goal called back or the 2 minute penalty for Goaltender Interference?

pretty sure i would have been OK with the recalled goal

Man, the officiating this year is the worst I ever remember seeing. EVER. I've been watching NHL hockey since the 1979-80 season. Yeah, it's that bad.

Why on Earth does the NHL want to focus on certain penalties (often at the expense of nearly all others) at the start of EVERY season!? Just give them a pep talk and let them call the game as they see fit. If they F up, then quietly (cause they would never do this publicly) call them up on the carpet to let them know they F'd up.

How about a little consistency in those slashing/hooking calls where the talking heads tell us that when the stick goes horizontal and makes contact, then it's a penalty. Yeah, but 98 times out of 100, they don't call it! It's either a penalty or it's not. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a cheapy called and then the rest of the game, players can whack away without penalty. It must be confusing to the players, I know it is to the fans watching.

I realize that they are human as well, but when your bosses are constantly looking over your shoulder, you get a little nervous and maybe are a little afraid to be yourself/call your game. Right now it's a shit show. They definitely need to get this right before the playoffs.

WTF? why exactly is it 'typical Montreal' Ev?

Yeah it was a terrible call, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Habs fan who wouldn't at say it was at very least 'chintzy', but what does Montreal have to do with it? Its not like we have home town refs for allthe games or something...hell one ref was from Toronto, the other from Detroit, how do you figure? And how do you figure with the horrible diving call on Boullion? I just don't understand this comment at all

Was just joking, referring to Peter Laviolette on 24/7 last year (who actually said "Montreal Typical") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVfO6lY9ngM

That said, I hate it when (not in this game like you just said) they actually have Francophone refs doing Habs games in Montreal...makes no sense to me.

ahh gotcha, I couldn't wrap my head around why you said that because I thought the refs were just so universally bad tonight...but tahnks for th vid, I remembered it when I saw it well we all know that Laviolette is a douchehole and that the Flyers are by far the most abused and picked upon team in the entire league by the refs, its like a conspiracy and stuff y'know?

Whoa. Just saw the call from the Ottawa/Montreal game. Refs are drunk. Let's not review anything. This is fine o.O

Man, even as a Habs fan, I just can't believe they disallowed that goal AND gave a minor penalty to Silfverberg.

The officiating is so horrible this year... the NHL is, by far, the worst when it comes to refs.

Boarding, Gorges... are you kidding me!!?!

Remember, the refs never worked during the lockout, and never had a training camp. Most of them haven't reffed a game in about nine months or so. Give them another couple of weeks, and everything will be back to normal.
