I know the refs shouldn’t decide games or some bs like that…but that logic (maybe) applies to 50/50 calls and battles. Trouba targeted the head, snapped it back when he hit Meier. In an @hockeycanada game I’m going Major and GM. Game 1 of the season or game 7 of a playoff series
A quick refresher on the playoff rulebook, from a piece we did for Rob Vollman's @HockeyAbstract a few years back...

This crew worked a very tough game with excellence. Sometimes our @BCHockey_Source players step over the line, and this team was there to ensure safe and fair hockey.

This is an example of why we need to support officials and not worry about the fragile egos of the coaches, parents or executives who berate, belittle or bully them. @BCHockey_Refs …I’ve got your back

I would never step on the ice with a bias toward one team or another. But in a game I’m not refereeing… go Cumby.

I love this too. I am always pleased when an @BCHockey_Refs issues a 10 for dissension to the player who didn’t commit the original foul. Cleans up the players behaviour pretty quick.
This is exactly what needs to happen in football. I can’t believe how comfortable players are swarming the officials. When that happened I always wanted an official to hold his yellow up and slowly start spinning around the circle until they stopped. Lol. This works too.

That’s some big time knowledge and expertise on the ice….

It’s all kinds of silly to take a Major right after your team takes a lead at home. And make no mistake, that’s a major every time.

How do you know the ⁦@BCHockey_Refs⁩ are working provincials? New White Laces!
