Should be a new rule put in place. You touch an Official suspended for the remainder of the season. You can't have these GOONS thinking that they can get away with manhandling any Official. Put this in place for next season and this rule will end this kind of play!
ReplyDeleteProblem was that the above penalties do not reflect the actual actions.No blatant hits to the officials occurred. For example, Espo's appeared to come from his complaints about the officiating.....which was horrendous to say the least....the worst I have seen in my life. Danbury breakaway's stopped by tripping and not called, major penalties for tough play at the center, bad off side calls....you name it, the calls were blown.......mostly by the ref. This type of situation results from poor reffing and the frustration that occurs.
DeleteIt's becoming the norm in this league. They've even switch to two referees and it's not helped any
