Regarding refs hesitating to call penalites because they don't want to influence the game - they need to rethink that reasoning. The ref is not responsible for an outcome if they call penalties, but they have a responsibility to call a game fairly and consistantly. The offending player is responsible for the impact on his team. If he is sitting in the box for some mindless cheap shot and the other team scores, then he deserves the ire from his coach and to be called out by the media. <br />http://itsnotpartofthegame.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422548471006288988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676139083106872096.post-48032662859418492182012-04-24T14:44:05.161-04:002012-04-24T14:44:05.161-04:00I'd always thought they should introduce one m...I'd always thought they should introduce one minute PPs for minor penalties like hooking, interference. Refs would be more comfortable calling them (as they happen all the time), teams would be less willing to try the infractions and we'd get a better played game as a result.<br /><br />The 5 on 3 pp seems overly harsh and I think Refs would be very scared to call them, those It's be nice to have in case of egregious penalties.<br /><br />I like the idea of being more open with misconducts, as it shortens the bench (hurting the offending team) while still allowing for more 5 on 5 play.Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213260380203964632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676139083106872096.post-67834564644373089842012-04-24T13:41:53.917-04:002012-04-24T13:41:53.917-04:00I know its hard to get the data, but I seem to rec...I know its hard to get the data, but I seem to recall hearing that some incidents don't lead to a suspension because the player recieved a 5 min penalty. If that still holds true, then it would skew these results. Frankly I think the NHL system is wrong in this scenario. It wouldn't surprise me if Hayes' boarding does not lead to a suspension because Shanahan will say he was penalized 5 minutes, Pho scored, and Chi was eliminated. Shanahan seems to think that is enough punishment.njhockey8noreply@blogger.com
