Credibility?

Question

Do you think the NHL might be losing some of its its credibilty do to some very "questionable calls" at best

i know most of the older people are so used to this issue. But im thinking of the newer fans that do understand a good call from a bad call. might they see a bias?

Me as of yet have not made a complaint outside of my living room. but more and more i am hearing complaints

Your opinions?

Answer 1

Bad calls tend to p**s me off. The game would be so much better if the right calls were made.

Answer 2

I think they've been losing credibility for a while now.  Remember when they disallowed the goal that Gelinas scored for the Flames in the 2004 finals against the Lightning?

Answer 3

If calls where reviewed better the Flyers wouldn't be in the playoffs......Remember the goals that got them into the 2nd and 3rd rounds? If they where "LOOKED AT" better your Flyers would be playing golf with my Devils...

Answer 4

I'd have a better time judging a question about the credibility of the officials... if it wasn't coming from a fan of a team down three games to none.

That doesn't mean you don't have a point, but it does suggest that the deficit might not be all that blamable on the officiating.

But then, what do I know? My team barely even showed up in the Playoffs.  At least I know they lost on merit, or lack thereof, not due to the officiating.

Answer 5

There seems to have been  a lot of horrible calls by the refs this year.  Even these playoffs have had a lot more questionable calls then i can remember.  Toronto isnt helping either

Answer 6

anyone who thinks there is a bias is forgetting about all the times a call went their teams way

i'm a big soccer fan and the bad calls are even more frequent, the offside rule for instance is so complicated that i'm sure some of the officials get confused

just to repeat what i said last night, the players make many more mistakes during a game so try blaming them for your teams losing rather than the officials
