Now I see why some people dont watch the NHL......

The officiating in the playoffs has beeen total garbage.

There are four zebras out there, 2 officials, and yet they still miss obvious calls and blow the whistle on dives, and total bullshit.

They put the whistle away a lot in OT and let penalties go time after time, which is ridiculous.

The faces of the league.....................

Alexander Ovechkin, who is a sick talent, is also one of the dirties players in the league and the NHL & officials look the other way when this asswipe is taking people's knees out, boarding people, and charging people. He leaves his feet every hit and hits people in the head, throws elbows, and trips people constantly.

Sidney Crosby is also a great player but is the biggest cry baby in the league. Constantly complaining about everything. Just sad.

I am still a fan, and playoff hockey is second to none in terms of action IMO, but the NHL needs to fix the above things or else I will soon be done myself. No excuse for this horrid officiating in the postseason practically every game.

why SOME, SOME? NOBODY watches the NHL. this is a league that couldnt even beat the danish food network.

this is a league that gets pre-empted over a yanni concert.

this is a league that doesnt even have its playoffs games on a television channel.

this is a league with a team so broke and so dead, the owner files for bankruptcy.

this league is a joke and i love ragging on it because all they do is screw up. they give me the material.

how screwed up is the nhl? the wolves, one of the worst teams in the NBA, is worth almost a 100 million more then the wild, in supposedly the state of hockey.

how screwed up is the nhl? on versus, bull riding is shown over playoff games.

league is a fuckin joke lol. before i was hoping the league would fold because it'd take away time from NBA and NFL on espn, but i was wrong, they hardly talk about it.

MLB, NFL, NFL Preasson, NBA, Golf, MLB offseason, NBA, NBA offseason, Tennis, and Nascar are all talked about before the NHL.

Wolf, officiating isnt a big deal. Bad officiating in all sports. All about perception. Nothing you can do about. Just wait until NFL starts and the kids like Ricboff whining about Hochuli deciding games. You accept it as part of sports.

I just rag on the NHL because its a horrid product with even worse management, and they do everything to prove im right, on a consistent basis.

If it was a product worth watching, it'd be worth discussing. It's not, it's a joke.
