Referees

[opuntia]

yes, teams can file complaints against ref's. once several are made of the same ref, the league "does their best" to not assign those refs to your games anymore. there is, however, no guarantee that you will not get them... it's just something they try to do. :roll:

I imagine when nobody likes certain ref's... Somebody has to get them...

Please explain why the league tries to not assign refs to teams that have complained about them instead of making the refs accountable for crummy refereeing? If a ref has enough complaints against him, shouldn't he be retrained/fined/punished/fired??

I'd explain, if my name was Bettman, or Van Hellemond... as it is, I have no influence on the ludicrous policies of the NHL, sadly. :p

Nothing like seeing a ref getting hit by a puck, smashed between two players, and falling on their a**es all by themselves. Priceless! :D :spin:

YES! Refs definitely suck. I used to think the NFL had the worst refs of any league...but the NHL refs are certainly giving them a run for their money.

In a thousand years, we'll probably have robotic refs or something to cut down on mistakes. :D

In a thousand years, hockey games will run from somebody's hard drive. You'll go to a game, watch the androids play out the computer's commands, and go home with a smile on your face, because there will be no ties and no shootouts.
