#NHL #referees
Hey! Hope you all enjoyed! Lemme know what you think as I wanted to use more photo evidence to back up my claims!
Don’t even need to watch the video to know it’s Auger
A referee's bad call that decided the outcome of a game. Try Mick McGeough, Edmonton vs. Dallas, Nov 3, 2006. ua-cam.com/video/TrpxnkTlAKU/v-deo.html
Auger is now a ‘’expert’’ for TVA sport. When a goal or a major is under review, 80% of the time he says the opposite of the final call. He is so bad.
You should take voice acting lessons from MacCauley. You sound like AI
Like who? 😂😂.. I got asthma so I pace myself to prevent me from choking on air..U can hear the passion and energy. But not even I’m perfect. Hope u enjoyed!!
12 years in the league, only 10 playoff games. That's really all you need to know.
Wym
@@413Barzal if ur a veteran referee then you should be on playoff duty as well but he sucked that bad that he never got the chance
True 😂
More than he deserved
Amen to that, brother! Never heard of this ref before today, but based on the video, he sounds like a chump.
The worst part is that he is still invited as an expert on TVA sports and still defend the ref no matter what they do. He always gets mad at anyone questioning the refs decisions.
Habs-Golden Knights series is a perfect example
Bin oui en plus il se trompe tout le temps a tva il es pas credible
@@alraimondini7823 '' Renaud je t'arrête tout de suite. Chris Lee est très professionel, je le connais
Renaud Lavoie- Oui mais
Auger- Non je veux pas t'entendre Chris Lee connait très bien ça''
ça montre à quel point ce gars là est un incompétent.
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 cest un cave lol
@@alraimondini7823 80% du temps il dit le contraire du call qui est donner😂
What’s even more mind blowing is that Auger is now a “referring expert” on TVA Sports…
And tnt
LMAOOOOOOOOO
@@idontgivetkachuk Yeah......Everytime the TVA announcers wants to discuss a goal under challenge, or a major penalty, they invite Stephane Auger on the mic to "give his toughts" and I'm always like "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!! NOBODY LIKES YOU!"
Not surprised Auger is working with “TVA”, the worst french canadian “news” channel. Sensationalism and propaganda.
and gets 99% of his “insight” on video reviews wrong😂
Wes McCauley is amazing :)
Can't believe a french canadian sports network actually gave Auger a mike to analyse today's refs work.
Might as well ask Harold Shipman to rate other doctor's work...
We have our own fair share of corrupt officials. Wes McCualey is the best, love his calls.
Imagine Auger AND #13 Dan O`Halloran being together as refs... I think O`Halloran is the worst ref to evver enter NHL... But this Auger is a pice of work also
Wes McCualey absolutely HATES the Toronto Maple Leafs
@@coastaku1954yep, and we hate him too
@@coastaku1954 Well yeah, didn't Keefe testify against his brother in law?
I've got a buddy that played AHL years ago with the Milwaukee Admirals and he had met some of the Nashville Predators that said they were close to taking suspensions for breaking a stick across auger's back. That's how much he was hated.
WOAH 😳 that’s wild!!
holy shit is that actually true?
100% true I actually just got off the phone with him to verify that I was right that it was auger. He confirmed it.
@@bigdikgravy Can you say who the player is or no ?
@@yoseikanben8699 I prefer not to as they are still in the league.
Kerry Fraser's missed call on Gretzky in 1993 is so unfortunate knowing it probably came from the best referee the NHL has ever had. He is the all-time leader in games officiated in the NHL, has called games for both the Atlanta Flames and Thrashers and was once voted the most consistent referee in the league by players. Everyone make mistakes once in a while - some more than others - and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy than Fraser
🤣 🤣 🤣
Roflmfao 3 decades ago still crying 🤣
@@tylerdurden4006 bruh wut
Met him when I was a kid in the mid 90s at a dock where he kept his boat. He was a very nice man and promised to send me an Autograph picture of Lindros...I received it 2 weeks later. Awesome man!
@@tylerdurden4006 still looking for a VC party?
I loved how shortly after this game, Ron McLean has the nerve to do a hatchet job on Burrows on Hockey Night in Canada! Shameful!
I tried to add that in actually! But didn't know where I could fit it! I saw, that was shameful
@@idontgivetkachuk yeah, I lost all respect for McLean after that. I get it, he’s a ‘company man’ and just did his part to defend the integrity of the Officiating in the League: but all he did was bury Burrows, and put a target on the Canucks.
@Wow yup. Like how he tacitly supported everything Don Cherry said until the public backlash was too big and too obvious (and the League decided to toss Cherry out), so suddenly there’s Ron all ‘we need to be more sensitive, so Don’s out’. Gutless, fake principled company man.
@Wow sold out on Don Cherry for a non incident people got triggered over was what did it for me. I’ll call him a sell out as much as I can when and if I watch HNIC now. (I actively boycott it in protest to canning Grapes)
McLean is a coward dude stabbed Don Cherry the man who made him who he is today in the back just to save his own job, as Mishkin said on Goldeneye for the N64 "Even trusted friends are capable of betrayal"
Auger is such a bad ref that he makes the reffing in the NBA look decent
No worse than Wes Mcauley
@@collasalbot7900 Yeah, he's got Laryngitis
I’m so happy that you decided to do a video about that POS! Stéphane Auger is by far the worst referee in NHL’s history! I can’t even express how much I hated him, he was absolutely terrible, he shouldn’t have made the NHL.
No surprise that Chris Lee and him are best friends….
mic maghoe and kerry fraser say hello
Auger is an over-emotionnal man-child. Chris Lee is just corrupted
Tim Peel was terrible as well.
So Auger is basically the Angel Hernandez of hockey. Got it 👍
Was going to say the same thing :P
@@Culdcepter or the Joe West of hockey, but he retired and Angel needs to follow suit as my half blind grandma would have a more consistent strike zone than Angel.
Or Vic Carapazza! That’s a name to watch out for these days in terms of being a bad young ump.
Gotta hate when refs let their ego get in the way
Nothing pissed me off more than when Tim Peele went “I wanted to get a penalty in on Nashville early” guy talks like being an official is playing the game😂 delusional
So basically ~50% of the games 😂
If you wanna talk about the worst ref in the nhl you can’t help it but mention Chris Lee. The guy’s a legend !
and Tim Peel
I agree that Chris Lee is by far the worst ref in today’s NHL, but he’s still behind Auger at the moment, that could very well change in a few years though, because Lee is absolutely terrible and if he keeps it up, he could surpass Auger real fast!
Fun fact: did you know that Lee and Auger are best friends? Yeah…you can’t make that shit up
This is the best video you have ever done because it's completely original. Nobody has ever done a video on Auger before and so very few people know about this stuff. An informative and original video.
Thanks sm man!!
His analysis on TVA Sports is absolutely horrendous. Makes you wonder how he even became an NHL ref in the first place
Auger is why referees get such a bad reputation.
Great vid man! Augers “retirement” announcement was great. I remember reading he wasn’t given any playoff games in 2011 as a result of his nonsense, I could be wrong tho.
I remember this game! Burrows had a hat trick in each of the last two games and had two this game already. Would have set a record for 3 hat tricks in 3 consecutive games.
Not on Auger's watch he wouldn't...
I knew this would be about Stephane Auger right away, even before I saw the thumbnail. Officials are not supposed let their personal feelings dictate their calls, it’s too bad that he did just that:(
So did I but I am a Canucks fan. I feel like this whole situation smeared the Canucks image and possibly caused other referees to dislike their team. Unfortunately Burrows comments may have put that particular team under a magnifying glass.
So basically the Ángel Hernandez of hockey!
A really bad non-call that influenced the outcome of a playoff game was Kessler getting away with pulling Cam Talbot's pad with his hand, inside the crease.
But then again, Edmonton is a saturated hockey market of just over 4 million, split between two teams while California is a largely untapped market of nearly 40 million split between 3 teams ...
My first thought: "Oh great, another bash the refs video." Oh wait, Stephan Auger...carry on
Every time he opens his mouth on a french broadcast its enough to shut down my tv.
Great video as usual! The Auger dude sounds like my least favorite type of person lol
Thanks bud!
Auger's "retirement" party should have been held in the sin bin with party guests including those falsely penalized...Activities to be determined by the players! 🤨 Misconduct THIS🥊 Auger! 😁
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 video, my friend. 👏
Also Tim peel literally saying he wanted to call a penalty against Nashville early. The nhl refs need a complete rehaul
You know a penalty call is bogus when even the opposing team is caught off guard by the call.
Funny you brought up Tim Peel. That clown also got the "retirement package" like Auger, so it further credits suspicions that he got the axe for making deliberate blown calls to affect the outcome of games. Refs like this are exactly why there needs to be a third party mediator for officiating, as crap like this needs to be corrected swiftly for the betterment of the game. People pay to see a hockey game, not a zebra's overinflated ego on display
Tim peel was just doing what the league wants. He just got caught saying it. Auger was different he went into probably more then just the burrows game knowing he was going to screw a certain team because if something that happened in a previous game
@@chrisdranfield3828 Problem is he consistently made those types of calls against Nashville for a few years before that audio clip. It was a complete feud situation between the Preds and Peel. It stemmed from Peel ignoring the boarding by Bortuzzo on Fiala, and knee on knee that took Joey out of the playoffs. Just look at how the players act towards a ref and you can tell when there is bad blood between the two parties
Tim Peel reffed a few games in the beer league I played in Toronto. We used to call him "rat face"
As a red wing fan in the 90s, we hated Paul Stewart. He used to always call stupid penalties on us, then later trashed Yzerman in his book
I remember that game with Burrows. I was so mad after that I wanted them to ban him from vancouver
Mick McGeough....if there was any ref that was more rotten it was McGeough
i honestly just think he was partially blind, wouldnt say its as intentional! lol.
Mr. Magoo
Magoo was the worst. His vendetta against the Oilers deserves its own video
Auger is now working for tva sports (french version of sportsnet) and he did work for tnt and larry brooks got pissed when he saw auger on tnt lmfao
And also renaud lavoie almost got to a fight of words when auger was defending chris lee during last year playoffs lol
Actually, TVA Sports is owned by Quebecor Media, not Rogers (Sportsnet's owner). But, it was when Rogers announced that it would partner with TVA Sports to provide production resources, and sub-licensing of French-language rights to some of Sportsnet's event programming that TVA Sports really took off. Anyway, the rest is true
@@drgnslayers yes ik but i said french of sportsnet cuz it looks the same lol
@@Feurmc_ I was trying to remember that name. Wasnt he the ref who just watched and enjoyed Suzuki being punched more than once in front of the Vegas goal?
And about Ogre working at TVA??? WHAT??!? I think Jeremy Roenick called him Ogre or those hole making machines?
@@raantaas96 yes it’s him
Nobody gonna talk about Chris Lee in game 3 of the Habs vs Golden Knights series?
First! Also awesome video! I had no idea he was THAT bad. Thanks for sharing and educating me on that garbage ref. Glad he's gone
13h ago under 10 minutes after upload?
@@scottme6615 it's because I got to see it before it went public :)
Lol
Yea my son hacked my u tube as me and left a comment
@@scottme6615 fr I think he’s hacking
How is he still a Ref?! So little accountability for Refs, when it is one of the easiest people on the ice to monitor! If he is this crooked, he is probably making money out of it!
Most Canucks fans can tell you about Burrows and Auger and that game against Nashville. One of the most disgusting displays of refereeing I've ever seen. It wasn't even about blatant missed calls which can be attributed to human error. Auger made the game personal with his phantom calls especially the last 2. Did anyone ever see the clip of Auger winking at Burrows after the 4th phantom call?...."Payback's a bitch!" No one can ever trust a ref who puts his ego ahead of calling a fair game. After the Canucks-Nashville game on Dec 8, the NHL probably should have looked into future Canuck games with Auger on the slate and brought in a replacement ref just to avoid this kind of thing because there is no way the league didn't know about Auger's reputation for making things personal. Anyways, great vid and thanks for posting.
Thanks sm for watching! And yeah it’s terrible when refs wanna make it all about them…
What was the deal with Burrows during that interview after the game? The man couldn't sit still.
@@ItIsJustKetchup they ride the stationary bikes after games, he was doing the interview while cycling
@@kayvonmotamed Thanks for the reminder! I forgot that was thing back in the early 2000's
Meh, Burrows being a disgusting player, got what he deserved.
5:23 With good reasons, Burrows was so mad when asked about Auger, during the post game interview, that it feels like he was riding a pedal bike. lol Couldn’t stand still.
Here I thought this was a video about Chris Lee hahaha
XD
He is now in charge of referee development for Hockey Quebec. Scary. Also the hit on Burrows was not diving. The issue was after he was plastered into the boards, he went to get up and he fell down. Which has never happened after a hard hit either clean or dirty.
In Britain we had a ref called Nigel Boniface who regularly got criticised for his style of officiating being all about himself. (He regularly called games like the 1975 Flyers were involved)
Conversely we also had a female ref Joy Tottman who was easily one of the best officials I ever saw in Male or female hockey (at least in GB)
I'm also reminded of the 2002 womens Olympic final when Canada had to kill 11 power plays that to this day I still find baffling. As a neutral it was so clearly biased I was really happy Canada won that game.
Kerry Fraser was actually a great ref.
For bantam,yea maybe...
Great video amigo, wish people would talk about the poor officiating in the NHL more.. this "balanced penalties" thing needs to go! the more disciplined team should win, enough with the ghost calls simply to keep the penalties balanced.. if a team wants to try to cheat to win and play undisciplined then so be it but don't punish the other team simply to balance the penalties specially if the other team is actually trying hard to play a disciplined game.. ITS PATHETIC!
Despite the burrows event......Ask any Canucks fan this question and it's hands down Kerry Fraser
Kerry is hands down the greatest NHL referee to ever hit the ice and its not close.
Kerry Fraser changed the outcome of who played in the Stanley Cup finals in 1993 when he refused to call an obvious penalty on Gretzky. That’s a bad referee.
I hate Alex Burrows but, there is no way on this planet either of those calls were penalties. What a disgrace.
Right away, I knew it was about Stéphane Auger.
Now that hack has a job on TVA Sports (French broadcaster)
Wes Mccaully gotta be the best ref rn
👍
W
Wes is a beauty.
Wes is the most spectacular ref, yes. The best, not so sure…
I've had this one ref. Futsal tournament. Every year he was one of 3 officials and sure enough he would be officiating majority of our games. Felt like there was a man advantage the whole game. Playing against the ref as well
In juniorB (which isn't good; but still decent hockey, once in a blue moon you'll see a 7rounder play in that category) I played the same team twice in a week-end. Penalty minutes ended at 210 for us, 0 for them. Guys was fired and the 8suspensions my team had were all cancelled. Games were replayed at a later date 😆 This man did not know how to be subtle about it.
Edit : I myself had a suspension for fighting in the last 5minutes of the game. But like....they had ZERO penalties...so who tf did I even fight against? 😆
As a Canuck fan, I remember that incident. What pissed me off was the coach had no balls and dint say anything to him. Vigneault was as useless as teets on a bull! Tortorella , Neilson, or Quinn would have had something to say to him, fine or not! Questionable refs should not be allowed to ref in the playoffs too.So much on the line, you dont need a referee with an agenda.
Torts would've destroyed him lol
The refs are supposed to be evaluated by the league during the season and only the highest scores do the playoffs. Not sure if they are re-evaluated during the playoffs to advance, or if it is only based on regular season. Does anybody know?
Your honor, it's true. This man has no dick.
Auger vs Torts would end one of two ways
1- Torts channels his inner Latrell Sprewell and just snatches Auger up and chokes him
2- Torts busts into the referee locker room with a stick and goes Tony Bananas on Auger.
Either way, at the press conference after, Torts will refer to Auger as Gutless and tell him to shut his yap and park his ego in his pocket.
If strangers cheer when you get pucked in the face, you might need to take a step back and ask how you can improve yourself.
I'm fairly certain that game in Vancouver (and maybe one or two more assignments on the same trip) was the last time Auger crossed the Rockies to work an NHL game. I watched the newspaper summaries for the next year and he was confined to the East and given time off when the Canucks visited for a season and a half before he reffed another Vancouver game against (of course) the Islanders! When the league announced 'nothing to see here' a few days later the Canucks released to the media the pre-game footage showing clearly that the league was looking the other way. $2500 is a ridiculously small fine for criticizing a referee the way Burrows did and I thought it would be 10-20x higher with a lengthy suspension. Burrows would have been better off to write down his recollection of the discussion, seal it in an envelope, find a reporter after the warm-up and give him the envelope with instructions to open it after the game. That would have proved his case and Auger would be toast. But who can blame him for not believing what Auger was saying. As for Ron MacLean's reaction, it was predictable: Vancouver being strong has never been in HNIC's interests.
The worst is he still has a job on tva sports and viewed as an expert by other members of the broadcast, this dude absolutely unlistenable and full of himself
I'm convinced refs are gambling on games. It has nothing about parity, and eventually it'll get out.
There is a ref in the league right now that is clearly gambling on hockey. I expected this to be about him. The league obviously knows and will never out him because of the NBA situation. Watch a game Gord Dwyer refs next year. Dude makes phantom calls against only one team in EVERY game he does.
It didn’t look like a clear dive to me, he got freaking hammered against the boards. Anyway Burrows just looks and sounds like a stud hockey player. I love this channel!
I wonder if Auger was gambling on some of these games and got busted. That would definitely keep him from challenging his retirement.
Stephane Auger is currently working for TVASports, one of the french sport channel covering the NHL, notably the Habs. Auger is still behaving badly with his colleagues, most of them are former french canadian NHL players. He can't discuss referee calls without arguing with his colleagues or being condescending. I do recall some years ago an heated discussion on a disallowed goal with Hall of Fame Mike Bossy. It was disgusting to see Auger loosing his mind and telling Bossy something like : "I'm a ref and you don't so all your points are not stupids". Bossy was really good to remain calm and chill while your colleague is throwing shit to you on live TV.
Actually Chris Lee vs Montreal in the playoffs vs Vegas definitely trumps every other referee combined. He was blatantly bias that series.
I'm glad you specified "nhl history" because we had a ref in midgets who was talking to a emergency substitute coach instead of the play, then tried to get that "coach" banned from the rink for provoking a fight that broke out during their conversation...
I can only assume that Auger caused the leagues reaction to Peel, in addition to the difference in social climate.
While this guy was bad, Don Koharski is without a doubt the worst NHL referee of all time.
Chris Freek'n Leeeeee has to be up there
I would preface this with “in modern history.” This is because full time officials (that is full time Referees and Linesmen) didn’t come out until the 1950’s. In fact until the 1930’s really Officials where hired on a ad hoc bias, meaning that they were hired to work only one game at a time. So we can’t really know how bad (or good) the ad hoc officials were, though yes Mr. Auger looks to be really poor (as someone who has worked on the local level as a Umpire-in-Chief or head of local Little Leauge Umpires, representing all the bad characteristics that someone can have in the profession.)
Officials thinking they are bigger than the game. Happens all the time in all sports
Auger is wrong on more than 90% of his opinions during live games on TVA Sports broadcasting. I cringe almost every time opens his mouth to give his opinions.
Auger is there to protect the “integrity” of the league, not to give proper opinions…
I don’t get why more players don’t just crush refs like this. Yes you’ll most likely get suspended but the more accidental you make it look the better
Because grown men are not taught to answer incompetence with violence.
@@LeGrosHanz is that a joke? Wtf do most players do when another player annoys them? Either fights them or put them a headlock and rip them down to the ice. Player does something stupid and is normally targeted but if you were to do it against a ref it’s what senseless violence. That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
@@noodkiller123 Are we watching the same sport? Most players don't behave violently because it will most likely end up with a penalty. If you want to win, at anything, acting like neanderthal is probably not the way... BTW, have you ever fought a 250 pounds guy on skates? Acting tough and being tough are wildly different things.
@@LeGrosHanz who tf is acting tough? You’re just acting like a dumbass. Hockey players violently attack one another all the time. I mean shit if you look up hockey scrums they give you 10 plus minutes of them attacking one another over absolutely nothing, and that’s only in one month! Why ask a dumbass question like that either in the first place? If I say yes you aren’t gonna believe me and if I say no even tho it has nothing to do with me you’d somehow make it into a chirp
Burrows got fined for saying that??? That was very tame if you ask me.
Now he’s a TV analyst and he’s so bad at that
We do not need Wes McCauley reffing games he is Auger who is sometimes funny.
From reading up on him, he looks like a dirty crooked umpire. Shame on him.
Kerry Fraser was the worst NHL ref ever. Period. (Full stop)
Tim Peel seemed to be justifying a weak call as balancing the penalties, something every hockey fan knows they do. Not in the same Universe as Stephane Auger
When this video wasn’t about Chris Lee I stopped watching
2:37 Good on JJ there. Nobody should be cheering for someone to get hurt no matter how bad they are at their job. That man has great morals. I've admired him my entire life.
It takes a special character to make Alex Burrows look like the good guy in a situation. Auger was trash, yes.
Right, like him pulling Duncan Keith’s hair was a panzy move. But seeing how he was done wrong by Auger makes him a sympathetic character.
The game needs Kerry Fraser to come out of retirement asap
Calgary doesn't give a Tkachuk anymore either.
Alex Burrows should have said “I got you back even more” after Auger got canned
LOL
Back in the sixties and seventies it was Wally Harris who was known to call next to no penalties and just be out on the ice for a skate but the players liked him, said that they liked how he let the guys play the game.
Over the years I have worked with some refs that got off being a focal point in the game. They would constantly bicker with coaches, players, parents and drag the game on and on. Then at the end of the game, everyone is screaming at him. They got of on it. Myself, I would keep communication with players from both teams constantly and MANAGE the game rather than police it. If I was calling a penalty, it is 100% a penalty. I would call it with no fanfare or theatrics. Just get the offender off the ice and drop the puck! 99% of the time when I was skating off the rink I heard nothing from the stands and every now and then players and coaches would say I called a good game. I would always tell newer refs, call what you see, don't make a show of it, but do it with confidence. Last thing you want is to be considered the reason for the outcome.
So true. What you choose to call and how you make the calls make a huge difference. Every ref sometimes makes mistakes. it's a fast game and we are human. Sometimes the only thing you can do is own up to it. Nothing worse than a ref that is arrogant and holds grudges. Give me a 14 year old kid referee making mistakes any day over someone that think the game is there for their own narcissistic goals. I'll protect that kid...the arrogant ass is on his own.
Call the obvious calls, call the dangerous calls, and call the plays that change possession. Otherwise...you are much better off letting the players play and keeping the game going.
He’s the worst example but every ref has this problem to some extent. Today especially
I should have said best example as I realize now this could be taken as a criticism on the creator of the video. Best worst example if you know what I mean, like he’s the worst. I feel like I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with this that only I cared about but just making sure you know I meant no disrespect and the video was bang on great lol
Great video man. Keep it up
I love how Wes says “5 minutes for fighting” he gets so into it. Onto what I am talking about here. It’s funny how y’all think he’s the worse ref in the NHL, but if this ref from the ECHL made it to the NHL it would be him. We called him”Mcnuttless” I think my mom screwed up his name once and it stuck but he was so bad even the Stockton Thunder, the old Bakersfield Condors rival we never agreed but everyone in this league hated Mcnuttless once our captain got nailed into the boards (which was a boarding that should have been a game misconduct) but it wasn’t, me and my mom had season tickets behind the Condors bench and he came over talked to our coach and said it was a clean hit, and I leaned over the railing told him “come here I’ll show you a clean hit” but this was one instance, if you want to see the kind of job he did, then look up “Bakersfield Condors Ontario Regin line brawl” there’s a goalie fight in that video, and you’ll see the kind of job he did. Ps he had beef with our coach in college and took it out on the players
Auger sure screwed the Canucks over. Probably other teams too. The thing is that I don't just blame Auger, the problem is with the NHL. They use refereeing to control the "entertainment value" of their product, instead of just calling penalties as they arise. I mean what else is "game management" other than a euphemism to thinly veil manipulating the refereeing in order to improve profits. They're trying to attract new fans but they're pissing off us old fans. I still like hockey but I don't like the Bettman led NHL, mostly because of the highly suspect refereeing.
All I have to say is Chris Lee. That's enough.
The players said that Kerry Fraser was the best?! I couldn't stand him.
The best refs/umpires disappear, you NEVER even notice them.
You always make good content my friend, But now your boy in in Florida. What an off season, everywhere. I'm an Oilers fan myself. But at least you got some return for Tkachuk, sad to see Johnny Hockey leave for nothing. Anyways keep creating, I always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work buddy.
Thanks Tim!! Much love!!
I was thinking at first, "Wow, this guy is horrible."
Then I found out he's Quebecois, and I then thought, "Oh, that explains everything."
The same thing happened to the Tampa Bay Lightning the other night this referee gave a 10-minute misconduct five minutes for fighting another two minutes on top of that altogether he called 17 minutes worth of penalties in one Fell Swoop
That's a weird way to spell Tim Peel
Kelly Sutherland screwed the nucks every chance he got.
