Curmudgeon Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 22 minutes ago, MikeyD said: Likewise when the team gets multiple phantom calls against, do you just expect people not to discuss it on said message board? Actually, after you state how much you hated the call, what's to discuss? Refereeing in the NHL is wildly uneven and almost completely unpredictable. It is what it is and there's nothing to be gained and no insights to be revealed from non-stop complaining about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: No but they did get through adversity and that makes them deserve the win. Do you know how easy the game is to play when you're handed gifts? If you've ever played competitively and you're at a point in the game where you feel down and out and the heavens throw you a bone the whole game turns to easy mode. It's hardly any adversity. It's like having a cheat code. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you just have this need to win arguments even when you’re in the wrong. I can’t and won’t keep have conversations with someone looking for arguments and trying to be antagonistic.

Diving and dirty play. Deb what are you doing? Why do you whine about the refs and diving and the other team? You realize that the Canucks are finally going to the playoffs this year right? Ok so let's get behind the team and support them and get tough. If we geta penalty say good I wish he cracked that mofo's skull. Stop leading the fanbase to be whiners. In 2011 all the whining in the world meant nothing. Toughen up buttercup. Miller is not a whiner so you need to stop being one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 23 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: The players are saying the same thing. They admit they sat back. They didn’t meet pressure with pressure. That’s on them. They deserved to lose because they played 40 minutes. Avs only played 25 minutes, therefore they deserved to lose more than the Canucks did? I agree that the team's lackluster effort in the third was a big component of the loss. I just think the awful reffing was a bigger factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs should not feel invincible on the ice if they're going to keep this BS up. If they aren't going to clean it up voluntarily, intimidation is the only option left since the NHL refuses to solve the problem. The 70's and 80's are over dude, despite the Bon Jovi we hear between whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) 16 minutes ago, PureQuickness said: I'll help out. I really liked Lafferty's play in the first half of the season. He suddenly dropped off and I no longer care if he's on the team or not. He lost his hustle for some reason. Yes, he's become a bit of a passenger but he is only a $1M 4th line plug - so I don't expect anything spectacular from a guy like that and he does have 11G/10A unlike $5M guys like Mik who has only has a half dozen more assist but the same amount of Goals at five times the price!!! IMO Mikeyev should have been traded not KUZ - at the time. And there are a few others needless to say, that are looking like passengers in the caboose like Lind- and Cole to name a few. In fairness to Coles case, I think it's just old age and fatigue. I kinda doubt all of those three will be around next year.

The team needs to make it clear that either the NHL needs to start forcing the refs to call an honest game or there is no alternative but to seek other solutions. The refs have no right to feel safe when their misconduct is a hazard to player safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with reading something you might not necessarily agree with. You can choose to be ignorant to more information and more insight, but that attitude certainly doesn't make your opinion a valid one whatsoever. I'll even give you a link - it's free online. https://dr.library.brocku.ca/handle/10464/17130 Edited March 14 by Miss Korea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
