  • Yeah, he has been AWFUL.

    Ference got 19 penalty minutes for retaliating against Bieksa.

    Says it all.

    • The reffing has been crap.

      Despite that the skaters on both sides have been able to make some beauty plays.

      • I know the refs "aren't" biased...but come ON.

        Kobasew's stick is held blatantly for ~5 seconds infront of the ref, infront of their net...and NOTHING?

        • Meh. Bad reffing is like bad ice. Something to play through, not whine about.

          • It's hard to play through when you spend most of the game killing penalties while the other team is getting away with murder.

            • Nasty crosscheck from Bieska on Phaneuf in the crease...nothin.

              High stick to lombardi from Ohlund...nothin'

              This is in the past 30 seconds.

              • Oh sweet JESUS. I've never seen such bad reffing.

                • I have.

                  Some nights the bad calls all go your way, some nights they don't. It can be frustrating, but until they do something to improve the overall quality of reffing, it can't be helped. Same deal with the state of the ice around the league.

                  • But no fear! The tap by Friesen is definitely a 2 minute minor!

                    • Does Lombardi play like this most nights, or is he just wtfawesome against the Canucks?

                            Quite a brilliant strategy...rather than giving a promising player valuable NHL experience he's putting in a geriatric underperforming player instead.

                            As a side note...Why does Edmonton have such a hard-on for Hemsky?

                            It's perplexing when I watch Edmonton PPV or Sportsnet West on an Edmonton game where the colour guy gets all warm and fuzzy talking about how "electric" Hemsky is. He's a pretty good skill guy but he's a pushover that easily gets rattled, he'd be positioned 4th in scoring on the supposedly anemic Calgary offense, and he decides he doesn't want to play half the time and just skates around in circles.

                            Smyth is Edmonton's MVP. He was the only player who consistently shows up to play, which is Edmonton's #1 problem. Edmonton's management and their fans don't seem to notice this, then they wonder why every year it's a race to get in the playoffs at the very end an how they have an inconsistent teams. Players like Hemsky are a cancer to a team that needs to work hard all the time. He'd be a healthy scratch pretty frequently on Calgary's lineup with his work ethic.
                            Smyth would be untouchable, but he is a UFA and has made some noises to the effect of moving on for a pay cheque. There wil be teams out there with a lot of room under the cap and some who may very well offer him money and years that a wise GM would not.

                            As for Hemsky, you clearly have no clue what you are talking about, so let's leave it at that and you can continue to think your happy thoughts.

                            • Hemsky is a turd
                              To us, it is the BEAST.

                              • Yeah, great counter argument on Hemsky.

                                Look at his production...look at what you're paying him...look at the length of his contract.

                                Hemsky's a mystery outside of Edmonton...something's in the water there.
