It's mindblowing just how bad NHL officials are at their jobs and that they just keep getting worse. I wonder if over the top abuse at youth level from nutty parents is driving would-be young officials out of the sport, thus shrinking the potential talent pool and leading to quality deterioration?

At NHL .500 after 10 games with 7 at home. NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH. People are badly underplaying the very favorable schedule that is about to get much tougher. They really needed to take advantage of it and simply failed to do so.

They just pissed away points in back to back games where doing so was simply inexcusable. Blowing those games late was bad enough, going full Yakety Sax in the OT made it even worse.

Maybe Lindy should look in the mirror here.

First star for the Leafs: UPL Second star for the Leafs: The Officials.

The only thing Krebs agitates are Sabres fans with his awful play.

This is Milbury level *****, there are multiple trades here that should end a GM's career (the Norris trade in particular was an act of insane recklessness and stupidity that even Ray Charles could've see was going to be a disaster).

One of the main reasons Kevyn should've been fired is the idea of him making a horrible ill advised trade like Power for a middle six quality center in a desperate attempt to save his job.

I can't believe nobody has caught on to the fact they were likely cynically lowballing Tuch trying to take advantage of the fact he's a local guy who would like to stay, he saw right through it, was insulted, and this was his response.

I'll put it to you like this: The Sabres could offer another team Dahlin, Tage and their unprotected first for a comparable vet from another team and the trade doesn't happen because the guy uses his NTC to block it. Tuch would basically be impossible to replace.

Did they happen to watch the first periods of both those games where the players mailed it in as hard as you could possibly do so? Lindy is part of the problem but he had every right to be pissed at that non effort.

Appert makes Granato look like Al Arbor in comparison. He is so awful that there is zero chance of any dead cat bounce when he gets the job.

Maybe Lindy shouldn't do things like play Mason Geertsten, a guy who has no freaking business being anywhere near an NHL roster.

Winnipeg paid him because they knew if they didn't they were losing him in a bidding war on July 1st. The cap paradigm is completely changing.
