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

[Mickey Marner]

This isn't about Peel. It's about the guy who allowed nay encouraged it occur under his watch:

The best part is his defense for those emails was that he didn't know you could go back and read them. What a f***ing imbecile.

 

[CupInSIX]

Geez you'd think he'd be more understanding about getting caught on a hot mic.

 

[habamillions]

Tim Peel and Chris Lee are the 2 worst referee's in the league. Been saying it for a long time. Glad league finally got rid of one of them.

 

[sxvnert]

Perfect opportunity for everyone who's been "victimized" by officiating to validate their feelings. I kind of feel bad for Peel he's had a long career and he was no doubt being instructed by the NHL to do his job this way.

That doesn't mean I am in favor of game management however.

Then he should come out and spill the beans.

 

[ChuckLefley]

I mentioned the same thing on the Preds board and another poster had a good response. " Nashville " would be taken less personally than " you guys '.

1) What else would the Preds board say? I mean we have Bruins fans claiming Peel screwed them on the Accari non-call in the 2019 Finals, when he wasn’t even one of the officials assigned to the Fonals.

2) What sense does it make to use “Nashville” instead of “you” if you’re telling them you made up a penalty. Zero.

 

[DropTheGloves]

We still don’t know the full conversation and the full context. Let’s be honest, is Duchesne an unbiased opinion? I’ll also add that I find it very odd that he would be talking to Forsberg and say, “I wanted to get a f’ing penalty against Nashville early...” Would he say something like, “I wanted to give you guys a penalty early...”

lol brutal reply after getting absolutely BTFO by someone who was literally on the ice when it happened.

 

[Armourboy]

Shows you how comfortable these guys are with this kind of behavior and attitude toward officiating.

Well and with Duchene's comments it kind of sounded like it even surprised him too. I'm guessing Peel knew he was retiring and didn't really give a crap. He just happened to get nailed by an open mic.

 

[NyQuil]

Sens fans were particularly not enamored with Tim Peel.

 

[A1LeafNation]

How the nhl addresses officiating

 

[Perfect_Drug]

It’s astounding seeing how many people are perfectly happy not having any context nor the full conversation in order to be righteously indignant.

Reffing shouldn't need context.

So now you are just flat calling Duchene a liar, which if he is in this case we will know it pretty quickly.

Why do people talk in the 3rd person sometimes when it just sounds silly? It's language, people don't always think and just burp something out.

 

[ChuckLefley]

There will always be some, but I see a lot more evidence contrary to what you’re saying.

Feel free to list this evidence. Make sure to include the full details.

 

[Del Preston]

Tim Peel once tried to score a goal on Luongo.



Edit: with his wang

 

[BrokenFace]

Not a big fan of firing someone for something they said, but that’s the ugly world we live in now.

I don't think he should be fired because this is something all refs do, but they wouldn't fire him for something he said, they would be firing him for admitting what he did.

That's like if I was a cashier and was fired because my boss overheard me telling a friend "yeah I took some cash from the safe but no one will miss it", then I complained about being fired for what I said. In this hypothetical I wasn't fired for what I said, I was fired for being a thief.

 

[Neil Racki]

I feel like HF has never been closer and more agreeable as collective group than in this thread.

 

[DropTheGloves]

Feel free to list this evidence. Make sure to include the full details.

How about you go first? You whines about there being no evidence/context, were presented with some, and blew it off because you didn’t like it. Your turn now.

 

[Porkleaker]

Need to fire Colon Campbell into the sun, Tim Peel was retiring in April anyways, so no skin off his back. Someone needs to be held accountable, otherwise you're a fool if you ever bet $$$ on hockey.

 

[McSnypsky]

This keeps being thrown out, but it's not the case. The decision isn't
Call everything and have an unending penalty box parade
vs.
Call penalties based on the score and number of penalties called so far in the game to each team

There's a magical third option
Adopt a reasonable penalty threshold and call the game by it consistently on all teams regardless of score and previous penalties

It's not the easiest thing in the world, but somehow the guys calling Bantam rep manage to do it. Methinks we could hold NHL refs to the same standards of minor hockey

Most of it comes down to training these guys have been given way too much leeway to interpret the rulebook, they should all be given a threshold and stick to it. One solution increase the pay so they don't feel like they need to be stars

No, I was pointing out that he is coming from an obvious bias. Perhaps Peel was explaining why he made the call and it was a correct decision to make the call, it Duchesne didn’t like it so he just tells part of the story.

People who use third person tend to use it regularly. I’m betting you find Peel talking to players and referring to them by the team name.

The difference between me and you (and the others that I am referring to in my general comments) is that I prefer to get the full context and the full conversation before I say he is guilty or innocent. You guys grabbed the top the minute this snippet of a conversation went public.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Feel free to list this evidence. Make sure to include the full details.

Read the thread, listen to player interviews, read journalists’ articles. It’s all there and hard to ignore unless you’ve been willfully ignorant to it.

 

[ChuckLefley]

How about you go first? You whines about there being no evidence/context, were presented with some, and blew it off because you didn’t like it. Your turn now.

What context or evidence? The guy with the French-Canadian name who claims context is all of history or the clip from a Nashville player? The only ones whining here are the ones who got the rope out as soon as they heard the snippet and damn context or the full conversation.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Now please fire Dan O’ Rourke as well.

Any claim to Duchene lying here goes out the window with the fact that the NHL was so quick to respond to this incident.

You’re doing it again. Where’s your evidence that refutes Duchene’s account? Any effort to avoid providing it will prove you are arguing in bad faith.

 

[ChuckLefley]

I guess I missed it, because all I have seen or heard is a Nashville player and snippet of a conversation. I haven’t made my mind up, so please provide these articles that prove the context and full conversation show he was out to get the Preds. It shouldn’t be hard.
