[QUOTE="Moose, post: 1127968, member: 72401"] Rant Mode On: In the game of hockey, 10-0 after the first 15 minutes of play usually equals a very p.o'd under dog, which equals dumb penalties. I'd think the refs would be smart about it to. During the beginning of the third period, score is 13-1 now, the other team tries to break out, and I check the guy that tries to carry it out. We both hit the ice, as I'm getting up the kid butt ends me in the throat. I lose all wind, I can't breathe. I was breathless for 40-50 seconds. I didn't know what the heck was going on...sure you'd think the culprit would get at least a 2 minute minor? Nope. Nada, zip, zilch. No penalty. Here I am, winded on the ice, skating back to the bench, haven't had a breath of air in god knows how long. The refs worried about the face off placement. Not whether or not he should give the other kid a penalty. Everyones going crazy by this time, and it seems as if the ref is scared to give the guy a penalty. After this I was only able to play two, 40 second shifts for the next 18 minutes because as soon as I'd start breathing heavy, everything would tighten up. This was only the beginning. The rest of the period was chaotic. A kid kicks another kid while he's down. Penalty? Nope. Kid punches the back up goalie, while he's on the bench. Nope. We get a bench minor, because the [U]crowd[/U] cheered when our guy made a hit. It's a hockey game, right? We asked him, why did we get a penalty? "The crowd was cheering because you guys made a hit." (Not the only stupid thing he said during the game.) I don't see why the score would influence which calls the ref makes (I can understand small calls). But when it involves kicking, with a skate on. :whoa: That's how kids get hurt. Shaking hands, here I am saying "Good game", and we're getting insults thrown back at us and punches in our shoulder. (There's the playful, "Hey good game buddy" punch, then theres the wham, i hate you punch) I don't know, I think we were all lucky to walk out of it in as good as shape as we did. I just don't think refs should judge their calls on the score. Sure if we get stupid and slash a player when we shouldn't, they should call that. Which they did. But I don't see why they didn't call the other stuff. I also don't think they should condone(sp?) the behavior of the other team because they're playing a bad game. In the end, I'm stuck with a raspy voice, sore throat, and 1g, 2a. I guess there's a price to pay for everything, right? I think we just fell victims to poor reffing, but then again most people think that they're always the victim. I can honestly say though, with the last game that resulted in a suspension for me, I played it cool this game. Does anyone else feel the same way? Rant Mode Off :blah: [/QUOTE]
