Tonight's game was another classic example. They didn't call hardly anything. Well, I'll get to that in my next post. Well I believe you about the officiating.

The name "Think Tank" will undoubtedly scare away the powers that be. You as a Hawks fan should know that us little guys didn't matter once upon a time, and the Wirtz Clan still has control, and reverting back to their old ways is still in the blood. Besides, if every problem were 'fixed', we wouldn't have much to talk about, let alone have a bitch session. ;) Trust me, this IS the worst officiating by far, and the season is just ended its first quarter.

Yup, you are so right about the NHL's inconsistency. I've been complaining about that since last season and it's actually gotten worse this season! Can't say if the officiating this year has been the worst by far, but I'll take your word for it. It's certainly been the worst I've seen since I started watching hockey 6 years ago. No doubt. I recently filled out a survey for the NHL and I suggested they hold a "seminar" (that's what they call them) on inconsistent refereeing. Hey, if they can overly scrutinize fighting and so-called "dirty" hits ad nauseam, they can take a gander at the bad officiating. Hey Jim, what you say we start a hockey "think tank" and start lobbying for stuff from the fan's perspective. The GMs and owners get to do that, why can't we???...lol....

This prolly doesn't belong on your page, but, did you see the garbage call, followed up by the junk decision of the NHL over that Neal hit in Dallas the other night? Had that of been a 'star', (no pun intended) this 2 game suspenson would have fell under the non-existent double standard rule, and the on ice call would have been overturned and wiped from the record. The officiating so far this season has been the worst by far, and shows no signs of getting better. Anyways, lets see how it goes when Huet gets into a steady groove, and Hossa finally shows up and shows what he can do for them on a full time scale. Hopefully tonight they'll put on a good show and bring back some of the emotions of the old time rivalry they once had with the Oilers. TTYL. Jim Don’t give these refs too much praise now.
