Wasn't the two-ref system suppose to take care of this problem? HAHA. Refereeing has always been an issue with the league since I can remember. I still get a warm fuzzy feeling thinking about Jim Schoefield bitching out Don Koharski after a 1988 playoff game. With your evil Mick McGeough's, there are pretty decent refs out there like Kerry Fraser.
I still maintain that the league really fucked itself over by expanding too much and allowing teams to move out of Canada. Do we really need two teams in Florida? Or a team in Ohio? Say what you want about Carolina and Atlanta, but those two shouldn't be around, either. While we're at it, dump the f-ing Sharks. There, there are five teams that the league wouldn't miss financially or otherwise. Plus, if you divide their players around the league, the talent pool and excitement goes up around the league. Jesus, if I have to watch Chris Gratton, Scott Lachance, Manny Fernandez or Freddie Brathwaite play another game I'm gonna snap.
