Men's League Last Night

[Slats432]

Feels like you kinda buried the lede on this one

Too funny. Although neither of us imbibe...lol

 

[Tryblot]

Haha, I heard a pre-COVID story where Dan Boyle played in division 4 game (league is 1-9 with 1 being best) here in San Jose and skated through the entire team and scored the GWG. Ex-NHLer on a mid-division team.

Dan Boyle does seem like the type of guy to do that.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I would watch a TV series based on this premise.

Hey this is funny, I’ve actually been playing for the team you were complaining about. Good group of guys generally, most of them all work together including Jake’s dad and the U18 guy and his dad. We actually got moved down, kept having games where only 7-8 guys would show up and getting our butts kicked

A player stayed in the zone and was 20 feet offsides . The ref warned him multiple times he is off and he made zero effort to leave. The two defenseman on our team go off for a free change because the goalie had the puck. He passed it up to a wide open center in the zone. The offside player gets the pass and the ref doesn't blow the whistle at first . I yell at the refnyou warned him 5 times and he made no effort blow it offside. He blows it and chirps at me stop whining about this bs because he is a bad player and wants the close face-off. I say we both know the rule is all the way down and he tell me to shut up and stop b*******. A minute left in the game we are down by one and I get a break and the defender two hands me in my skate and makes zero contact with anything. It my skate from behind . The ref makes zero call. I literally asked him how is that not a trip and he said because I made him look bad and complained earlier. Should I report him for abusive language against a player and refusing to call blatant offside?

There is an ex-echl player in my b/c league that is scoring about 6 goals a game and his team is in 1st place. He is 26 and no one but he really does anything.

I generally wouldn't bother, but it sounds like this ref is deliberately manipulating calls. It's probably worth talking to someone about that, especially the part where he openly admits to changing a call out of spite. The language they probably won't care about.

Over the weekend I saw maybe the dumbest play I've ever witnessed in hockey.

Game is 5-2 with about a few seconds left, trailing team turns the puck over in the offensive zone and stops skating because they're clearly not getting it back in any meaningful way.

The guy on the leading team who got the puck, rather than doing the common-sense thing and just killing the clock, turns on the jets in his own zone looking for one more pointless shot. With 1 second left he's only at the red line so he winds one up (why???) and rockets a shot right off the ankle of his teammate at the blue line, who goes down like a ton of bricks.

Fortunately the guy wasn't injured, but just an absolute moment

What a loser, you deserve to get run if you do that.

My mens league team played their first meaningful game in 610 days.

Damn, that's a really nice rink.

Damn, that's a really nice rink.

It's called the Leon's Centre. Home of the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs.

Last night was a first, the ref put a player off the other team in the box and then took him out and canceled his penalty.

That's not that uncommon or strange, really. Assuming your league has at least two officials working a game. They're allowed to talk and negate a penalty if the other guy got it wrong.

 

[Outl4w]

Well the first ref say him grabbing and tossing an opponents stick and the 2nd ref came to our bench said it should have been a 2 and 10 but neither was called. So it was weird.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

40th bday around the corner, slowly transitioning from left wing to d.

I like it though, longer shifts, it's kinda being behind the wheel...have always been more of a passer than shooter.

I hate shit like that. Like...despise it. I'm not sure whats worse, guys like that, or entire teams that feel the need to pad stats in a 8-0 game.

This reminds me of a play I was involved in the other night. We go on the penalty kill and win a defensive zone draw. I am the D-man behind the center and wind up and drill the puck within 2 inches of the ref's ankle to ice the thing. The rest of the game all I could think about was how close I came to sending this guy to the ER. I know the intent was different but the imagery for me was the same for me. These refs deserve a lot more credit for the crap they put up with...

Tossed a hot mic on a referee in mens league last night.

Had to play catch up of my mens league videos. Been slacking.

Had an amusing moment with the ref in a game one night a few years ago. On D and going back towards our net to collect the puck. Opposing forward is coming up behind me and the other was coming down the right side. Both better skaters then me so I can't really try to skate away. Can't go behind the net as the other forward is down low. I'm almost at the puck and hear the ref to my left "I'm here, I'm here, watch it" Since that was my only safe outlet I fire it past him and up the boards. I turn to skate up after it and I hear him say "Didn't you hear me?" For the record I don't think I was that close to hitting him but not 100% sure. Didn't think of it till I was at the bench but should have answered him "I missed you didn't I?"

 

[Outl4w]

Had the same ref last night and a guy on the other team never left the offensive zone again and stayed in it when the left. His team to ice the puck and he got in our offensive zone without ever leaving it he was about two feet from the blue line but never left the zone. The ref waived the offside and I said that is a blatant offsides. He never left the zone. He yelled at me I know what offsides is and you can stay in the zone as long as the puck leaves . Shut up. He literally doesn't know what the rule is and keeps calling it incorrectly. We were winning 5 - 1 and if he said I didn't call it because of your lead , I would understand. He gets mad and keeps making incorrect blatant offside calls when players stay in the offensive zone and never leave it . I don't know if league players are catching on he doesn't call it or just random.

 

[Aces89]

We had a short bench of 9, a NCAA women’s goalie as a sub, got comeback on and a controversial post and out that was the difference

He seems like a pretty solid ref. Good rapport and communication without seeming too jokey.

Maybe work on that positioning at 3:33
