ah right, well they ruddy need to in my opinion, if simmsey is saying the ref was poor, almost all the fans think the standard is poor why not fix it , it's not just about the teams progressing it's about the league as well

This would have been the ideal time to do it, when the lock out was on! Opportunity lost there

This would have been the ideal time to do it, when the lock out was on! Opportunity lost there Possibly. But I think the better opportunity is try for recently retired or retiring NHL referees. I say this because I am fairly certain that the league could attract 1 or 2 for the same reasons some of the NHLers came here - to see this part of this of the world and earn a little spending money whilst doing it. I'd like to see, if it happened, the NHL referees either acting as like a 4th official from the side lines, but not to overrule or interfere with the game, but more offer advice during periods. For example, you missed X player doing this, or your positioning was wrong when the puck was in Y place, you should be looking to position yourself at Z when then puck is in Y. Or, 1 step better, they actually ice as a linesman, but again, just advising the referee during period breaks.

Can't see that happening Spud do you think the league can afford to pay officials full time? Yeah they might want to see the world but the league can't afford to pay accomodation and a wage for 6 months to 5+ officials. The imports are all here full time.
I would like to see a review system of the officials Cowen cannot cut it I wish Moray was back because now we get this clown. He should go back to being a linesman (some of which also can't do their job incidently)

and he only got shirty once, about one aggressive, hypothetical question on a topic that he couldn't possible answer, as he didn't know the player personally? There was plenty of chance to disagree with him. Yeah and I'm pretty sure it was Hamish's dad who asked that question.
