FD19372 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I feel like it was justified. You never should be so naive, and really just plain stupid enough as an NHL employee i.e. ref, that you want to call a penalty on ANY team. I don't care if it was done jokingly, or in jest. Tim Peel is a moron. https://www.nhl.com/news/referee-tim-peel-no-longer-working-nhl-games/c-322856334 Edited March 24, 2021 by FD19372 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Ok. I see here. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-says-referee-tim-peel-will-no-longer-work-games-hot-mic-incident/ HA. He is being fired for doing what we all knew they did. So admitting it is a no no. Got it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yave1964 Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 Peel has a rep for questionable calls, always has. He was due to retire at years end anyway, no big loss as an official. The thing is, the hot mic simply caught what has always occured at pretty much every level. I didnt see anything particularly abhorant with what he said, I didnt see anything that should shock anyone. He just got too close to a hot mic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 All I gotta say is, for THIS particular forum board, it is a good thing this was caught saying something about calling Nashville for a penalty. Had this happened during a Flyers game, with the current state of the team, I think Chernobyl would have looked like just a mild boil over compared to the meltdown many posters would have had here hearing Peel caught saying something like, "Man those Flyer guys....just looking for something, anything...gonna call something onnem because I hate'm....cmon Flyboys, just even LOOK at me cross eyed, eh?" 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we all know this had to be addressed due to all the gambling that is tied to sports. That alone was one of the key reasons this was addressed this way last thing anyone needs is a bunch of allegations of the refs helping sway the outcome of games for all these bookies. Sports and this type stuff has been eluded too for decades now let the sleeping dog lye i guess it what they want and they want everyone to move on nothing to see here. I get it. I don't bet on sports. But i do not want refs having an influence on games and we see that every day. And i would venture you won't see it end especially when you have more than one ref. I have friends who ref and one i just off the phone with said it happens they are human and when calls are missed he would do it to help a fiend with a bad call because well they would do it for him too. But they were doing it to even things up not so much to have an outcome on the game. Not trying to justify it but to acknowledge it happens.

I'm pretty sure we'd have been just as pissed if he said it about the team we were playing too. If we don't get another power play ALL YEAR it'll be too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but this speaks to the allegation of "game management" that has been made for decades and discussed by former NHL officials. Basically, "game management" is the NHL's way of making the game entertaining. They do it through the refs. What gets called a penalty, when, against who, etc... depends on what period we're in and depends on what the score is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Exactly, refs can hace an impact on the game, and they all know it, and while most of them call it fair, you know that some refs have biased to some teams/players etc...and even fan reaction can also sway a call... We all know make up calls/questionable calls happen, and the crime here is not that he did it, but got caught saying he did it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
