Eklund: The Buzz: Who is the BEST ref in the NHL?

I don't agree with your previous blog..... this is how it should be

....................W...........L..........OT/SO L......Current Pts Sys........3 Pts. for reg win
Team 1........41..........41.............0......................82...............................123

Team 2........20..........20............42.....................82...............................102

Team 3.........0............0.............82.....................82.................................82

It should be 3 points for Reg. Win. If it goes to O/T the 3 points should be split. 2 for the winner and 1 for the loser. Simple.

As you can see, under the current point system these 3 teams would be tied with 82 points. They don't derserve to be!!! You can see the 3 point system is FAR more equitable. Given their records, Team 1 would derseve to be in first place given their winning percentage and Team 2 would follow and then Team 3. It's (frank)ing bullpoop that these 3 teams would be tied in the standings with 82 points each in the current system. That HAS to change. Hope it's discussed at the GM meetings.

*EDIT: oh yea, FIST!

i like that kelly sutherland guy. i think i spelled his name wrong though.

Second. penguins win.

Mick McGeough worst eva


Jay Sharrers one of the better ones

Devorski, McAuley and Sutherland are the three best in the game. They rarely lose control of a game, are consistent and usually in position to make the proper call.

Dave Jackson and Stephane Auger are horrible refs. They defy logic. Don van Massenhoven isn't bad, but his positioning is often suspect, especially on goal mouth scrambles.

Kerry Fraser had the best hair hands down........oh yea......he was a pretty damn good ref too....

Bill McCreary was my fav

The Toronto Maple Leafs may have been hoping Zach Parise would consider their club in free agency this summer. But perhaps that's false hope.

Parise told friends (according to the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons) that he wouldn't consider the Leafs in free agency this summer. This might mean, if the Leafs want to add an elite forward, they'll have to trade for one -- Rick Nash, maybe.

Simmons also writes that Devils GM Lou Lamoriello thinks Parise is going to stay. The GM said, "He's a Devil. He%u2019s not going anywhere." If he's saying this because of the encouraging talks he's had with Parise's party, then perhaps Parise is staying. But if not, then he may have to prepare for Parise's departure -- perhaps to a place like Detroit or Minnesota -- as many are predicting.

sorry leaf fans

Best: Sutherland

Worst: Tim "He-tripped-on-the-net" Peel

Here's the problem with your post pal........you might as well get your advice from a bum on the street. Also, I could care less if Parise goes to Toronto so you can keep your apologies for someone who gives a poop

This has nothing to do with the thread... keep convincing yourself he's staying though

I don't know what's sadder. The fact that he thinks we care or the fact that he takes Steve Simmons seriously

Really?? wow......what insight you have

None of the ref's stand out for me anymore. The linesman piss me off more than anyone these days.

The linesmen in the Feb 12th Pens / Lightning game were HORRIBLE! Tossed someone from the faceoff every time and had about 8 "false starts" (whatever the hell those are anyways...).

When the crowd is booing the LINESMAN, you know there is a problem.

Carolina will offer Parise a 5 year, $7 million contract.

well maybe you can find them and address them......
I could find fans just like them from any NHL team genious......every team has their share of delusional fans.....but I'm not going to call them out with a stupid statement like yours and address the entire fanbase in general.

- BINGO!

Your main focus should be trying to get a goaltender.... perhaps Schneider?
