The officiating was a travesty, at least the league did something about it.

Thank God, maybe this is the start of something good.

 

[Fenway]

Since the 2 officials worked Game 3 in Dallas last night I doubt the NHL was that upset with them - Most likely they won't work in Round 2 but they were allowed to continue doing playoff games.

 

[Rielly4Capn]

Never thought Id see the day that the Nhl held refs accountable. Nothing less than benching both refs until end of the round 1 like Kadri is acceptable though

 

[Spazkat]

As much as I hate to give clicks to these homer bloggers, comments on that article were pure comedy gold

Hopefully. I can't imagine anybody wanting to see a repeat of that embarrassing lack of job performance.

I guess this story proves Leafs fans right when we said how bad the refs were that night.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Fans complain about the reffing all the time.

Sometimes though, they're actually correct. That was a terribly officiated game all around.

Those two refs better be done after this round.

Who earns the W in the moral victory column?

Not sure but the league wins by not looking like a 3rd tier amateur program. That's not good for anybody except i suppose a rival league if there was one.

 

[Galactico]

Lol refs being “reprimanded” by the league is like when parents tell their children to go to their room and won’t have desert tonight for their bad behavior. No real consequences.

Meanwhile, my immigrant ass was getting whooped with the belt by my parents when I misbehaved.

There are no winners in these situations. The only hope is that this leads to improvements.

Or the Toronto media was loud enough.

Look at the other series. Lots of toughness and emotion allowed there as well. Good hockey.

 

[Matty Sundin]

I'm a leaf fan and I thought the officials were bad for both sides. It was the kinda game that could of gotten out of control due to bad officiating

 

[mr figgles]

LOL I'll wait for a less biased source

 

[Cuphead]

anyone have the actual report, or a reputable source? not that i dont trust that random fan blog, but they are still reffing...

You guys believe this?

Hansen and Meier did the Stars game last night according to NHL.com

I thought the fact that the Leafs forum has an “officiating thread” was pretty funny.

This is even better.

Well TSN reported it and most neutral fans will say the reffing was horrendous. I mean Game 3 and Game 2 were polar opposites in terms of reffing.

 

[HanSolo]

I'd like to see the league do this more often when it's really atrocious.

 

[Maple Leaf]

They should replay the game

 

[Lilou]

They let boston get away with a lot of garbage until Kadri had enough and crosschecked him. Thanks refs.

Cmon, “we’ll so and do reported it”. Don’t you think it sounded far fetched from the start???

And don’t you think there’s a reason I checked the recap, that reason being the article was clearly wrong?

Yikes. Got a bridge to sell ya!

I thought Don Cherry brought up a good point with how much whining the Leafs were doing. But even with that said, the refereeing from that game was like, actually dangerous to the well-being of the players.

Do what?

The pairings have been locked and set and the league doesn't want to show publically. I would be shocked if they are around after round1

Let's see if they ref anymore games. Maybe there wasn't enough time to replace them for the Dallas game
