Agree??

I think we gotta go back to 1 referee and 2 linesmen.

My thoughts as to why I think this is better is there are just too many semi-pro referee's in this league now. I mean each game requires two refs, usually one good one bad.

5 games or 6 games a night times 2 refs = approxx 12 ref's half are shitty refs.

or another suggestion was a ridiulous 3 referee's. That would make the game horrible.

They should have just left it as one ref, that way the play won't be called continuously for penalties because the referee will for sure miss a few calls, and be lienient for others

which are u referring to "three referee system" or "one referee and 2 linesmen"?

i say go with the old.

Now in the NHL its either good refereeing or horrible referee's taking complete control over the game

that too man.

Alot of the yougn refs now suck so bad.

Harsh amateur. Like the Brashear Double Minor for highsticking.

Did you see that shit. A dallas player gets highsticked by his own player in the face, starts bleeding, and brashear skating nearby gets charged with a double minor for highsticking.

thats just sad man
