Do referees want to take over games because they can't play hockey?

It makes them the thing people actually pay to see.

Which is why they get paid so much more, but you should also realize that you still need people to officiate the games.

I wonder how much refs get paid. It has to be pretty substantial to expect someone to travel constantly for 8 months a year (genuinely interested).

By all means, *****. Doesn't mean I'm wrong. Fans like to think they know everything and can do a refs job no problem.

This is the fastest game in the world and has only gotten faster over the years. On top of that we got guys flopping in order to gain favourable calls. Of ****ing course the refs are going to make mistakes.

I don't think anyone is complaining about the mistakes. They happen.
