Ruff gave the first star to his 2 video guys that said to challenge the offsides.
That's actually a good one, that skate blade and review saved our fanny.
I have no problems with Geertsen. It'll take some time for other teams to know that he will make them pay if they mess around.
The only player I'm worried about right now is Sharangovich... but I think he'll be fine.

I’m usually a “bad officiating is part of the game every now and then” but tonight was just atrocious. Pretty damn obvious with non calls for us (most notably when Johnsson cut to the middle and got taken down late in the game) and soft calls for them.
You can't really make the case guys like Geertsen are deterrents when what happened in the first period happened. Not only the Hughes play but an obvious boarding call that got missed several minutes before that.
To a large degree it's up to this freaking league to be the real force of deterrent. The officials can't be three blind mice when crap like that happens, and DPS has been an utter joke under Parros. Teams can't do it themselves, especially using goons where we have to play with ten forwards after one guy gets hurt and another is useless aside from the fight to make the fans happy. Playing with ten forwards having days off around the game is one thing, but if this was a back to back or a fourth game in six nights?
Ruff said day to day so maybe not. Sometimes they can hurt a lot but not be as bad as you might think based on how much they hurt. I’ve been there.Hughes was visibly pissed going down the tunnel, if it’s anything less a month it’ll be a miracle IMO
It was definitely “let the boys play” for one team and not the other.
