textbook penalty shot, refs should have awarded the Islanders an automatic goal in addition to the penalty shot

I'm not even exaggerating that it might be the worst penalty call I've ever witnessed in my life. I coach hockey and I've watched hockey for a long long time.

At least the Kadri penalty makes sense a little. The Refs have been on Kadri all year with weak calls. The Hunwick breakaway penalty makes zero sense.

I'm just saying, it takes some serious balls to make that call on Kadri immediately after botching a penalty shot call.

what hunwick did is usually not even a penalty, let alone handing a team a free goal.

then JT with the crosscheck uncalled but kadri with the very soft hook?

isles were done, now they have new life. what a joke


edit: tsn guys gonna talk about it. it was that bad

That clip is slowed down too. At full speed it is more abysmal

Haven't seen the refs try this hard to sabotage a Leafs game since that Russian ref ran his gong show.

Islanders still getting outplayed despite it.

I hope that ref watches the video and realizes what a giant ********* he behaved like right after to call Kadri as well. He was looking RIGHT at it.

Call these ******* out. I'll start a Go fund me for Babcock's fine.

The weird thing is, the ref was in perfect position to see it. Usually bad calls are a result of refs doing some guessing to fill in what they missed.

That's the thing, it's not like he had a bad angle. He could see it clearly and still called it. Then they follow it up with an incredible call against Kadri after he got cross checked. Amazing.

That is the worst penalty shot call I've ever seen. Ref should be embarrassed and question whether he has the eyes to continue in his profession.

That's just it, the replay shows him clearly looking right at it with a perfect angle so what in the hell could he have thought he even saw? It's perfectly clear from his vantage that there is nothing to call.

Now the game is starting to get out of hand. A game falling apart due to refs should never happen.
