Don't like that one guy is being thrown to the wolves for accidently caught saying out loud his "game management" moves. Either you allow it or you don't but you can't axe one guy just cause he got caught doing what everyone is doing without saying it and to some degree the game management must be encouraged or it would not have always been allowed to exist.

Funny enough I don't even mind a single make up call, just don't keep going after the one for one has been done. Bigger picture they need to take out game management pick a standard that they want the rules called and stick to that standard every game for every minute at anytime in the season.

But all that said feel bad for Time Peel.

I don't feel REALLY bad for him, only kinda...he was widely regarded as the NHL's worst referee, only guy that comes close IIRC is St. Laurent. Seems like an okay guy though.

But yes, the circumstances that led to this are unfortunate, because the league will do nothing about the larger systemic issue at hand.

Colin Campbell, maybe one of the shittest old boys in NHL history, feigning surprise about the whole situation and basically singling out Peeler as a rogue agent was fucking rich.

Colie you cried and cried when your boy was getting penalized, you shouldn't be working peewee games.

Peel is retiring at the end of the year and the league didn't actually fire him, so while it looks like they did something, they did absolutely nothing except perhaps improving the officiating a bit for the rest of the season.

Yeah. Call it fair, not even. Even officiating is fucking brutal.

Bingo.


All that said, I don't know why everyone is talking this as a "make up call". Clearly the Preds had been taking too many penalties and needed to get called for something. Why yes, I'm a Red Wings fan who didn't watch the game, why do you ask?

They couldn't fire Peel and take away his pension because then he would NAME NAMES.

As in Colin Campbell? That's hardly a shock.
