(I am a ref) I was refereeing a youth hockey tournament that was in town. I was crossing the blue line following play to the net-when I made eye contact with Jonathan Marchessault who was standing on the other side of the glass. He had just won the Stanley Cup & Conn Smythe roughly 3 months before that, and I came to a sudden stop as I was starstruck. While I was distracted, a team scored and when I heard the noise of players I turned around and waved off the goal. Obviously, it was a clean goal which ended up being overturned. But moral of the story is; it is very easy to be distracted by NHLer’s.

They handed out the new rule books written in braille so the refs can finally read it

Man. It really pains me to say this... but as a canucks fan since the early 90s that experienced the 2011 playoff miracle run, and as a result had a long burning hatred for the bruins and marchand... That was some bullshit and the bruins got fucked hard here. These officials at EVERY level (refs, video judges, Bettman, DoPS) need to be held accountable. This is a SPORT. That has RULES that people are paid to ENFORCE. At least TRY to make your fans think things aren't biased and rigged. Starting to look like the damn WWE with refs missing super obvious infractions and guys diving from the softest shit and drawing a penalty for it. It's becoming way too much

Bolts player gets clipped and goes down, everyone knows a Bolts PP is coming, even the Panthers player goes and sits down in the box.

And now both team suck 😢😢

First period, about 9 : 20 minutes in, Panthers and Bruins game 5. Bruins have the puck in the Panthers zone, and are sustaining pressure. McAvoy takes a shot from the Blue Line, Bobrovsky overplayed the puck and was WAY out of his crease, thinking he had it in his shirt/shoulder padding. But the puck was loose, and ended back to the Bruins. The Ref blew the play dead. Why? The puck wasn't frozen, and it had been clearly out by the dot where Lindholm was chasing it down. Bobrovsky didn't fall over in pain. Bobrovsky didn't lose his mask, or glove/blocker, etc. So why was the play blown dead? Why did the ref just skate over and check with Bobrovsky like he was hurt or something? Is this something that normally happens? A ref thinks a defending player in hurt, and blows the play dead while the other team has pressure in the offensive zone? Make it make sense.

Worst non call was game 6 bruins/blues finals where the blues player blatantly slew foots the bruins player in front of the ref. The bruins player is air born and lands on his back. Mostly both teams stopped playing bc they thought it was for sure a penalty. It wasn’t and because they stopped playing the blues player scores and made it 2-0. They tie the series at 3-3 and win the cup.

Hockey refs in general have lost control AHL playoffs going crazy too

The worst call I've ever seen was probably the Makar's "on-side" goal vs the Oilers 2 yrs ago. Hot take, I know. Let me explain: The offside rule has always been consistently interpreted such that control of the puck mattered, not contact with it. This is because it's not feasible for a linesman to base their decision on contact at live game speed. Thus, the offside rule is now applied differently at game speed than in video reviews, which makes consistency categorically impossible. Additionally, the sudden mid-game decision to change the applied interpretation of the rule such that having control no longer falls within the scope/definition of "attempting to gain control" set the precedent that refs can randomly change the interpretation any rule whenever they please, despite the existance an established and accepted interpretation. Basically, they can now make up rules in the middle of a game and that's fine as long as someone texts Elliott Friedman explaining exactly how to twist the words to fit the new narrative. Lastly, it wasn't another missed call or inevitable mistake that happens at game speed. Those are easier to forgive. This was a calculated decision made upon video review. They took the time to watch the slow mo and talk it over before throwing away decades of established precedent.

Bro, imma remember that goalie interference no call forever. But has anyone else noticed that the Panthers play a soccer team, embellishing everything x10, especially Bob!

I remember Perron trying to decapitate Kadri with a flying elbow, after Kadri scored on the St. Louis Blose in the 2022 play offs. Since the "attempt to injure" thing wasn't invoked then, it will never be.

Playoffs - too many penalties are called as it is.

Lol'd at the ballroom dancing. That's the only type of dancing I like

the petterson hit

I've seen harder cross checks than that go uncalled, like that one time a forward cross checked a defender six times. SIX. TIMES. And was credited with a goal but the refs call Nurse for cross checking on a play like that? Like I hear people say "yes, it's a penalty. But how can you justify calling that when you let this similar play that should have also been called a penalty go?"

I'll never understand on what criteria refs call cross checks. Ofc not every contact is called, would end in 100+ PIM every game just by cross checks lol

0:40 was an injury causing hit 💀

The crosscheck suspensions were too short and not enough players got suspended.

The KZreadr ToughCall did a few videos on the Bennett goal no goal. It seems the NHL may have accidentally gotten the call correct by saying it’s a good goal. They pointed out that the rule book has a rule about goalie interference when it is a “rebound oprritunity”. I forget the exact wording but basically it says if the goal is scored off a rebound then there basically can’t be goalie interference. I can’t stand the nhl rule book and the leagues refusal to edit it.

They need to have video refs to call penalties on the ice at each zone of the ice. They have the tech for it. The reffing needs to be consistent.

I thought the Marchand hit was a reverse check, Marchand was going directly toward the puck carrier, Bennet saw him coming and braced for the hit, just so happens it led to a reverse hit. Also, the rules talk about protecting players, not rats

2:23 Trouba is such a clown and the fact he's still allowed to play in the league and is even a captain speaks volumes to how the nhl treats its big market teams. Absolutely ridiculous.

IMO, the goaltender interreference rule needs to be re written to make it clear what is and isnt goalie interference because under they way its currently written noone actually knows what goaltender interference is

to me the worst call so far was the sam bennett goal. bring a red is hard, playoff hockey is fast and sometimes you miss things, but when it gets sent to toronto and they still get it wrong!? and boston gets a penalty for the missed challenge!? that's a joke

Mate, we have VAR in football and the calls are still s*it. Video refs don't solve anything, there's still plenty of grey area and interpretation. I'd suggest taking it for what it is, moaning about bad ref calls is part of the game. I don't mind bad calls, but I want safe calls. A player throwing elbows out like that is totally not acceptable. Neither is a high stick drawing blood. The soft cross check penalty on the oilers is harsh.

Nurse crosscheck must be called a penalty even in game 7 OT

i feel like a way to fix the officiating is by having everything be able to be challenged. the onpy reason why the bennet goal stood was because the refs couldnt call a penalty off the review. if teams are able to challenge offside, why not habe them challenge soft penalties that may alter a game or missed calls that have a direct afect to the game

The hard crosscheck from behind (after the game ended) was gutless and caused the other hits from Soucy & Hyman - who also should’ve been fined. And yes, McDavid should’ve had a double minor for his high stick on Hughes (regardless that it was unintentional) because he drew blood.
