“There wasn’t much but I wanted a penalty against Nashville” UPD Tim Peel early retirement

[Il Stugotz]

Better clip from @c3z4r

Here's a longer clip which includes the Nashville portion. Even worse the other ref just goes "Yeah, I know" further emphasizing just how normal it is for refs to call penalties just because they felt they should've.

Outrageous. Should be suspended.

 

[CanadienShark]

Oh... Not good.

Reaffirms the belief that refs manage games instead of calling all penalties.

 

[snipes]

Confirms what we all knew about incompetence and game management.

Should be a massive investigation from this.

Absolutely ridiculous, it’s not even a conspiracy against one team. They **** over a new team every night with their incompetence but this is proof that it’s being done willfully which is the smoking gun we’ve all been looking for.

 

[SNES]

Uh-oh speghetti-o-s

 

[WillTheThrill]

f*** NHL refs

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why are referees so immune to accountability? People will tune out of this league unless shit like this stops.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

The NHL will try to save face and suspend this ref but everyone knows there is a directive from those above. This isn’t a rogue actor.

 

[Sol]

Where's the apologists now huh??? It was so f***ing obvious they do this shit and there's always those who deny it. NHL refs are a complete joke and deserve a kick in the nuts one by one before theyre fired for their misconduct. Disgusting.

 

[RedWillys]

What’s even funnier is the “penalty” if anyone can find a replay of it to share.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

He needs to be done.

 

[BTP]

And yet anyone who criticizes a ref after a game gets fined 20K lmao

north korea shit

 

[tarheelhockey]

Do we know for a fact he was saying “Nashville”? It sounded more like “Ma-“ on my phone speaker.

Related — was this the penalty on Mathieu Olivier?

Edit: answers are “yes we do” and “no it wasn’t” per the full clip posted by @c3z4r

 

[McAsuno]

Goes to show 100% these garbage officials dictate and call game management when they see fit. Doubt the league will do anything about it. They care more about protecting these dumb refs ego than actual legitimate officiating.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

It's Zebra Hunting Time...

 

[LastOne2100]

100% expected and known already. League will likely ignore this.

Best case scenario is they call it an isolated event, suspend this one ref, and let the rest of them go on making a mockery of officiating.

 

[Beauner]

Game.

Management.

 

[The Macho King]

Just confirms what we all knew.

 

[NYR94]

When you say the quiet part out loud.

 

[shaner8989]

Better be some accountability from this

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

dumbest "rule" in sports.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

Daaaaaaaaaamn. I don’t even know what to say.


Absolutely can’t have anything like this as the league gets tighter with betting services.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

It's funny that some think the refs are autonomous in their decision making.

In reality, the league allows this to happen because they want to control the game - and they most certainly do, in all sports.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lmao. that sounds like Timmy Peel

E: and yep I just checked he’s reffing this game...

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Daaaaaaaaaamn. I don’t even know what to say.

Money makes the world go around.
