Officiating the year

[Disgruntled70sHab]

Was watching the Leafs/Sens last night and the level of officiating wasn't near as bogus as it was last season. While they missed a few but the overall level of officiating wasnt' all that bad. They were quick to call interference on dump-ins but and stick infractions but there weren't any "New NHL" type calls like last year.

Be interesting to see if this is a league-wide transition.

Cheers.

Maybe the players are getting use to the new rules?

Noted that too. Very quick at times, and at least one comes to mind whare I thought Wha . . .?

But maybe the refs are setting the tone early in the season.

I felt the leafs got a break on the penalty shot. It looked like Sundin got his shot away before the trip.

Even Domi agreed!

Actually, the Leafs looked like they got a few breaks.

Cheers.
