Dallas Stars Daily Links: Team Believes Flyers Game Not A Setback In Discipline
Glen Gulutzan isn't really on the same page with the media who cover the Dallas Stars. Most of those outlets wrote something to the effect of "The Dallas Stars slid into their old, penalty-filled ways in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Gulutzan, however, isn't sure how that became...
Off Topic: In defense of Jim Joyce and the fallibility of on-field officials
About a year ago, I wrote a piece expressing disdain at NHL referees and linesmen, as well as their boss at the time. I labeled them Club Two-Minutes and slammed the pomposity, arrogance, and the lack of accountability among them. Yesterday in Major League Baseball, there was a little event in...
Referee Homer Bias
It's tough to be an NHL referee - though the days of being physically attacked by fans and players are history, there's no one else on the ice with no performance upside: either they make the right call (and possibly get booed) or they make the wrong call (and probably get booed).

Club Two-Minutes: Bad Calls and Zero Accountability
It was like a bad memory coming back to haunt and effect, years and years after the original incident took place. Just when you thought you had moved away from having to dwell on such malignancies, another incident occurs that juts that past experience right back into your train of thought. Yet...

Grand Theft Referee
Leave it to the on ice officials to ruin a goalie duel by invoking a shootout rule that didn't fit the situation. Of course, I will not get on the case of Colorado fans who see my remarks as sour grapes. Or who just see the game as a lucky or solid win... But personally? I look at how this game...
