Noeller Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 there's already an outcry from the "Rights and Freedoms!" crowd, so we'll see how it goes. I know there's a case to be made for people who can't get vaccinated for health reasons, but anyone else...there's zero excuse.
bustamente Posted March 22, 2021 Report Posted March 22, 2021 Joel Armia, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi are the 2 Habs that have gone on the Covid Protocol list, might be more in the coming days, have to keep an eye out on the Canucks as they just played the Canadiens.

One positive though, we know neither of those guys hit anyone.... bustamente 1

New Jersey took over that role as soon as they traded for Taylor Hall. I fully expect Buffalo to win the lottery now that he's taken his lottery magnet over there. Noeller, JCon and blue_gold_84 1 2
iHeart Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 well the Jets are in the West coast til next monday and the next game against MTL isn't until the 8th (pending the schedule change)

Really opens up a can of worms for the league and speaks to the joke officiating and DOPS are as a whole. No impartiality whatsoever. IIRC, Peel was supposed to retire after this season. I wonder what he'll have to say now about the league post-retirement. JCon 1
FrostyWinnipeg Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 He was retiring so good on him for burning the bridge behind him.
HardCoreBlue Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 I predict no penalties will be called for any of the games being played tonight lol. iHeart 1

What's weird to me is what's the motive here? What's the reward for purposely evening up calls? To make the refs the focal point of the game? To ensure the fans of the higher penalized team don't get angry? What? This has always punished the disciplined teams. Here's a model. Just call a penalty when warranted dictated by the rule book, be consistent in how these rules are being applied during the game and don't worry about the color of the jersey, the score the game or the time you are at in the game. kelownabomberfan and BomberBall 2

Motivation is that if you even it up, no one can say you're biased. The refs are human too and the NHL does nothing to help them. The NHL only cares when they're embarrassed. They were embarrassed and worried about the gambling aspect, so they made a move. Noeller 1

Yea understandable but video is a great thing. Refs are human, yes they make mistakes but applying this model imperfectly but consistently can negate anyone who thinks refs are biased because their team is being unfairly penalized. Maybe the NHL's hand will be forced to better endorse how games are being called and do a way better job supporting the referees to follow this model. One can hope. JCon 1

Well said. I’ve said this so many times over the years. Why bother having rules if they’re only enforced occasionally, when it helps even up the PP’s? Call the game according to the rules, at all times, and maybe your integrity would be less under fire. JCon, blue_gold_84 and HardCoreBlue 1 2

M.O.A.B. Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 I would think Savard (RHD) is more likely than Ekholm (LHD). bustamente and Jimmy from Lockport 1 1
bustamente Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Jets would have to give way to much for Ekholm, supposedly he loves Nashville so the chances of re signing him would be slight, plus does Nashville really want to trade to us when we will back in the same division next year, Savard on the other could slide right next to Morrissey and would be a good fit, plus we would have a better chance to re sign him after this year
