Quote:
In the post-game interview, Team 1040 reporter Karen Thomson asked Keith if a penalty went uncalled on a two-handed slash he gave to the back of Daniel Sedin on the Canucks' third goal of the contest.

"Oh, no. I don't think there was," Keith said when asked if a penalty went undetected. "I think he scored a nice goal, and that's what the ref saw. Maybe we should get you as a ref maybe, hey?"

Thomson responded with "Yeah, maybe. Can't skate though," to which Keith said, "First female referee - You can't probably play either, right? But you're thinking the game, like you know it? See ya."

Thomson released a statement on Tuesday saying she was moving on from the incident.

"Hockey is an emotional game and things are often said in the heat of the moment," she said. "I think this is what happened last night. I've moved on."



I think farting in the urinal next to me while I am held prisoner is more offensive. Next time she interviews him he should just look at her and break wind. :wookie:

I love that he did that. It's about time someone stood up to the inane questions asked by hockey reporters...

My biggest question is- does he think refs play?

Maybe the whole Hawks organization has an issue with female reporters:

Really? Firing someone because she made a verbal mistake? Sure it sounds bad, but they only drew more attention to it by firing her. I hadn't heard about it. And the excuse that they suddenly found out about her prior job sounds like 100% lean bullshit.

Well, there were also some YouTube videos that were kinda racy that ironically led to her big break. Rocky Wirtz took issue with those I believe moreso than the gaffe, but seeing as how he pays millions to a kid who makes a far more foolish public spectacle of himself in the offseason I call foul on this.

Right, but he happened to suddenly find out about all that the day after she makes a verbal slip? And who knows, maybe it wasn't as much of a slip as a publicity stunt?

I don't know. I actually assume it was pretty accurate reporting.

And there's that.
Now if she said something like "The Blackhawks have had a lot of sex with each other in the showers after games", then I could see them being upset. But I don't think what she "let slip" was libel. Just my $0.02.
