@@astronautman12 No, if you listened to what he said, it wasn't a make up call. It was a MISSED call, there is a big difference. He said at game speed, he thought the Nashville player gave a slew foot to the Detroit player. That would be a two minute power play if it happened. He then said as he skated the player to the box, he looked up on the slow mo arena replay and saw it was just a good clean hip check. Peelsy was one of the best refs in the NHL, they take pride in NOT missing calls. He said he skated over to his partner (who was also a very good NHL ref) and said what he did to him. It was Tim offering a lame excuse to his partner for a call he and his partner both know stinks. That lame excuse got caught on a hot mic and people like you took it literally.

Amazing to see the other side of the story. Hockey needs to be shown from all angles. Best of luck Tim ✊

What a great guy. He honestly admits his frustrations with how it was handled while also acknowledging the he was still in the wrong. He understood why it was happening that way and learned from his mistake. I never thought much of him when it happened, but his story has made me really appreciate him a lot more.

It's the worst kept secret that the NHL culture expectes refs to try to penalty call "evenly". HIs quote caught on the hot mic put that cultural expectation into the spotlight, and the NHL higher ups got embarrassed by it. He became the scapegoat for what has always been done for decades. If it embarrases them that much, then the NHL should make real efforts to change that aspect of the culture. Image if NFL or NBA games were called that way. If a team has more penalties in a game the other one, then too damn bad. Why put it on the refs to try and "balance" the game and "fix" it? Damn shame.

great interview, Tim seems like a great guy, wish him all the best

Underrated hockey interview of the year right here.

I just recently started watching spittin' chicklets now I don't think I could watch NHL mandated bs commentary again. It's people close to the game saying what they're actually thinking, image that.

Thanks for giving Tim a voice to his perspective on this. And we learned he's such a quality human that he didn't really need it, so that was cool.

He’s the type of man who I enjoyed refereeing the game….he’s a hockey guy threw and through and admire his honesty to a mistake made and to not get his curtain call for a career of reffing the game the right way is a travesty

Thx for this post

Tim took so much crap from fans and media as some sort of buffoon, but I always saw him as a fair minded and even handed guy. His ability to talk about this stuff in such a way, his want to talk to people, and THE WAY THE PLAYERS LIKED HIM says the most. What a guy

Typical NHL dropping the ball again, Mr Peel you are an inspiration on how to deal with self inflicted trouble. You faced it head on and explained it well. Thank you. Nothing but the best in your future endeavors.

this is very similar to calling an “and one” in basketball, if they miss you call it if they don’t, they don’t. screwing the pace of play

He had a month left… left him ride it out, like he said had he been doin that stuff his whole career he wouldn’t have lasted that long… smh cancel culture is something else man.

You deserved to get fired, Tim. It's called accountability.

Correction: Tim Peale was arguably one of the best referees in the NHL. Ordinary refs dream of being as good as Tim Peale was. Being a hockey ref is hard even at the speeds of Beer League hockey, calls get missed. I can't imagine having to make those calls at NHL game speeds.

What he did happens every night, he just happened to get caught on a mic

in any other sport I get the feeling there would've never been this type of honesty and transparency. enjoy ur retirement Tim, it doesn't define ur career or life or you

To me the good refs were the ones that you didn’t notice, Peel on the other hand was noticeable. Saw him absolutely destroy a junior game. It was as if he was going to teach the fans a lesson. Seems like a decent enough guy though and he’s bang on with the gambling comment. Remember it’s professional entertainment and the bookies don’t want you thinking things are fixed.

honestly I can’t recall the last time I watched a game and actually noticed he was reffing (I’m also not too worried by the refs cause I’m an oilers fan and the non calls are just a regular for us ;) jk) but I feel like we could say that about a lot of refs especially in juniors. I find even with refs, if you’re just stuck officiating junior games and never going up they get egotistical and almost annoyed to be where they are. Still have good refs out here like Wes and Kelly Sunderland I find not only make good games flow well but have control even in the most out of control games. this incident with peel could’ve been handled differently but I’m sure there’s politics behind it as well as the nhl was trying to save their ass. If I’m wrong lmk I’ll go back and watch some Tim peel games if I can find a list of which ones he’s officiated

Have always thought his game-calling was atrocious. Never cared much for him. He got jobbed by the NHL. Fact. I kinda like him now…

Really good that his friends stuck by him. Not because of the job he did but the person he is. That’s a good group of friends he has

Holy shit! Tim Peel. Good job boys wow!

Tim buddy ur an inspiration on and off the ice

I remember when Peel got booed outta Sarnia Sting OHL game in 90’s but fml 🤦🏼‍♂️ one month left n they body him like that, cold 🥶 af

Super fuckin impressive Tim, hats off to you

This is because of the level of gambling that goes on today. Basically, gambling ruins the integrity of sports. Most people I talk to don’t believe NFL and NBA are legit and it looks like NHL will be joining if they don’t get serious.

yeah i see how it could be bad with the betting being implemented, if it had been in the nfl it may have been even worse backlash. I really feel for Tim Peel as he does not deserve it, and i am glad he got to tell his side of the story and I am glad the guys from the professional ranks were able to pass on their respects to him, he definitely did not deserve to go out like that, it just looks really bad on the league.

This guy needs to be a counselor.

He seems like a great guy who just made a bad mistake

This guy’s a beauty!!!✌️

How is there not a movie being made about this guys life? "We had a house party...rr...we had people over to our house". LOL.

Cheers to you Peelsy, you're good in my book.

Respect

This bloke should write a book

Spittin chicklets is the best thing for the hockey community since the original 6 expansion lol

At 3:38 he says because Nashville was really good and Detroit was really bad he figured Nashville was going to win and then goes too say incase they weren't going to get another penalty against them for the rest of the game...Idk if he's just using the wrong wording or I just don't understand what he's saying but he makes it sound like they have to call atleast 1 penalty for the team no matter what? So what happens if both teams never commit an infraction do they have to make up a call?? Any insight on what he said cause that's what it sounds like to me

“Game management”

To his point, I completely forgot about this incident

Brutal when he talks about telling his young kids that ne no longer ref's in nhl.

They could've just scratched his next few games, and then let him come back for the last couple games and finish his tour, get his sendoff, and let him ride off into the sunset. The punishment didn't fit the crime. I've been a hockey fan my whole life, and he didn't say anything that was a revelation to me personally.

@JimbyTarnish I'm not saying that's the way I want officials to view the game, and frankly it bothers me when I watch a game and there are 10 or more penalties called and a large portion of the game is special teams. I'm saying, In my opinion Tim's thoughts are congruent with the way the NHL views it's games (aka "saying the quiet part out loud"), and the league pretends that he's some rogue when he's not. The man was on his way out anyway. I just didn't feel this mistake was worth tarring/feathering his entire career over.

Congrats to him for being a great person and it's a mark of a self aware person capable of great things to be able to admit when they are wrong and learn from it. I think he was absolutely a scapegoat however it did in combination of players comments prompt the NHL to start moving in a direction that has the refs calling the game by the rules. Refs will never be perfect and bad calls are going to happen but the refs seem to be more and more moving away from compensating to by the book. If he had to be the scapegoat at least use it to improve the situation. If you make an example of him, at least make it stick and stop managing games. That's on the NHL not the refs.

Was Peel fishing for the boys to be like "yeah we liked ya"

I’m not a big enough hockey fan to be familiar with this guys work and career. This ref in particular is not super important to my point at the moment. I think we the sane and emotionally developed members of society need to start reaching out to companies/entities through Twitter/phone/snail mail/email to counteract the people that reach out to cancel and be offended. This ruining people over a sloppy word choice or judging split second decisions with the benefit of hindsight needs to stop.

Very likable guy.

What does the score have to do with anything that they call?

Tim Peel. Classy guy!

Heartbreaking

This culture we live in today is so messed up!

Tell Tim to watch out for Bortuzzo dump ins and he should write a book

a weak call after missing a call seems pretty fair to me.

Don't get complacent folks

Tim Peel has been an egomaniac ever since he entered the league and probably before that

It’s a shame that pro sports have gotten to the point where saying an off the cuff comment means you could be fired. A player can literally say they are going to rip another players head off and that’s fine. A ref makes a comment about wanting to call a penalty and people get offended. We all know when a ref wants to call a penalty but it’s okay as long as he doesn’t verbalize it.

That's why I don't trust the game. Your not the only ref who does that. 90% probably do, you just got caught. Instead of trying to call a penalty , just call what is a penalty. When your looking for a penalty to call to even it up , to me that's controlling the game. That's why I will never bet on sports. It's like betting on boxing . In some way or form it's fixed. Nothing against you personally just ref's in general.

3:36 His attempt at the explanation for the comment on the hot mic falls short IMO. I don’t think he should’ve been fired. Refs should never arbitrarily apply the rules depending on circumstances. The league needs to decide on either calling the book, or allowing refs to make calls depending on circumstances in the game. You can’t have both. Tim Peel’s situation only highlights that divide.

It was kind of confusing and if he actually meant what he said then it’s kind of fucked up. I appreciated Ra’s attempt at the very beginning of the interview and at the end to hint at maybe this was something that he’s encouraged to do by league itself. Unfortunately those were really the only attempts to touch on that topic, which is a shame because that was the main issue of the whole incident. I know he’s got pension with the league and you guys probably don’t wanna fuck up his financial situation and I respect that. But if that’s the case then just don’t interview him.
