Officials - over-officiating???

[canucks4]

I'm suspect on the officials (again) this year - the whistle never leaves their mouths - not just against the Dogs, but Kingston the other night as well as Hamilton last night, and from what I'm watching, the Petes game as well. The game is about the kids playing hockey, not about the power the officials wield. JMO.

I think the officials will dictate every game this year with the brutal calls

How is that any different from every other season?

The two home games were officiated by Burchell and Oakman. As memory serves, neither were on the "well respected" list last year.

well least one from bad list is gone Joe park

[dogged74]

Thank the Lord for that! One down, 8 to go!
So where is Joe Park now? Somewhere scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush?

[NiceDawg]

I think I read once that he was a Toronto police officer - maybe he went back to that??

[Blacksox]

After tonight game against Barrie, can #4 Joe Celestin and #19 Jason Goldenberg now be officially added to the BAD list?

OHL officials' protest against 5 on 5 hockey is going very well.

[NiceDawg]

I second your nomination!
