Nice job Adam.

Yes to Bo Horvat or Jacob De La Rose.

Meh to Max Domi or Rychel.

No to Fucale, he is the product of a great team in front of him and would be a waste of a 1st round pick, imo.

*cries*

so a guy with decent net prescence.. fights hard on the puck and has shown the ability to play point on the PP doesnt sound good?

the only thing that really concerns me is his skating honestly.. if he can skate with the pros.. he has all the tools to be a good PF

Domi got dominated in the Mem Cup so I can see the frustration, he and Seth Griffith were manhandled and their lack of defensive awareness was really exploited. Something that a similar small talented centre in Petan didn't have since his line with Rattie never lost the puck once they got control of it

bad calls go both ways

for every bad call against you.. there is one that goes your way

nobody remembers those tho

- Dozzer


The problem is that the NHL is the only major pro league where "bad calls go both ways" is an acceptable way to brush aside criticism of the officiating.

In literally every other sport in North America, controversial calls are scrutinized heavily because of how rare they are. They scrutinize the officials if only one or two bad calls are made, let alone if enough are made to "balance things out".

In the NHL, there are so many bad calls that we apparently have become numb to them. We see it as simply as a fact of life.

Hockey is also a contact sport, and one of the faster sports on the planets.

Refs dont have the luxury of video replay in hockey.

It's expected that refs in hockey make mistakes.. The games too fast and too physical for them to be perfect

cept.. well.. everything.

fouls in basketball are regularly disputed.. missed calls in football happen all the time.. baseball the entire strike zone is based on the umpire's discretion.

reffing or umpiring a sport has the human element as well... would you prefer robots? they would never let anything "slide".. everything would be by the book to the letter..

honestly? no thank you. the inconsistency of the reffing is part of the game.

you dont win. its on you and no one else. boys blame others.. men assume responsibility for themselves.

Agree, but you can't swallow your whistles in the last 10 minutes of a game 7...

I will be fine with any of those four, it is all a crap shoot when you get deeper down in the draft.

I don't buy that. The plays in baseball happen in the blink of an eye. I think it would be just as hard to call safe/out at first base or balls and strikes on 90 MPH breaking balls as it would to tell if a player legitimately boarded another.

Football is a contact sport where almost every player on the field is involved in the contact in a single play. Yet, there seems to be a consistent standard set there, as well.

The NHL is a league where the championship winning goal was once awarded to a team that, to use a comparison, missed a field goal by 3 feet. It's embarrassing.

If the refs called everything according to the book, there would be little to no 5vs5 play.

I've been to Brno. The airport doubles as a military airport, so you fly in, and there are bunkers and stuff everywhere. And in the distance you can see the Austrian mountains.
