Author Topic: NBC Mike Milbury says something fishy going on with officiating (Read 10062 times)

It was pretty obvious that the non-call last night when Ryan Reaves of the Knights slammed John Carlson to the ice with a vicious cross-check to the back was a crucial point in the game. This happened one foot in front of our goal. Less than a second later Reaves got a pass and scored a goal over the head of our downed defender. In ANY other game that would have been a penalty and the goal would not have counted. Mike Milbury on NBC who normally does not like the Capitals at all was seething mad as he slammed the referees for that. He also strongly implied that something fishy is going on with the officiating these playoffs. Can you believe this is coming from ANY NBC goon? They don't usually like the Caps.

It seems to me that someone in the league wants the Vegas Cinderella story to continue all the way to the Cup. If we see this sort of crap again we need to make a lot of noise. Last night on the postgame shows they were trashing the refs and the league for the way the game was officiated. Alan May, who does not usually chime in against the refs was also incredulous at what he saw numerous times last night from the refs.

I grabbed the video with my phone, so it's not the greatest, but it gets the point across.

Well, the excuse seems to be that the Reeves crosscheck happened too fast for the official to make the call. So what I don’t get is that they don’t call a penalty on Wilson during the play but then they can all huddle after play is stopped and decide it is a penalty, but they can’t review the Reeves play after the goal?

Like the NHL Officiating is anything but fishy. . . Unless you count corrupt, on the take, following Bettmans orders, or otherwise incompetent. Hell there are how many Hens banners to prove that?

As for the “explanation”, if the stupid rules the NHL put in and/or changed make the game to fast with to many rules to make the obvious calls. . . Maybe these stupid rules should be changed back.

That kind of hit is usually allowed, only if you're on the PK.. No way they didn't see it, they just had the whistle swallowed cause it was the 3rd period. Now, (to make it better) you can bet your ass we'll get called for a cross check tonight, in front of their net, just to let everyone know they won't stand for it..

That seems to be the pattern. The don't call something egregious against the opponent, then to make up for it, call us for the exact same thing a few minutes later..

It looks like everyone thinks Reaves should have gotten a crosschecking penalty on the play that he scored the goal. Except for the one person here that blamed Carlson for getting crosschecked.

does one person here try to be an asshole? Or does it come naturally?

If necessary, the refs can huddle and review the play. This wasn't necessary given that the Caps were the receipients of the cross check. It's in the rule book somewhere.

So you are intentionally being an asshole. Your not under my skin, if you were getting close your posts would be deleted, though that will happen anyway as you tell everyone else to adhere to your opinion.

When you joined the other board there was a big debate as to weather or not you are a 12 year old. Prove me wrong on this.

I just turned 11 a little over a week ago, but I'll be 12 in 50 weeks and 5 days.
