I would argue that the best way to hear less about this topic, is not to start a new thread about it, in all CAPS. But that's just me. The officiating was dumb last night, but that's it. Just a crappy way to handle a tied game in the 3rd period, with a bunch of uber ticky-tack calls and unearned powerplays. I don’t think they can rig an NHL, without it being obvious. NBA it’s been done, I have friends who swear the NFL is rigged, obviously baseball would be the easiest.  Tim "Mr. Fixer" Donaghy, kel. |

The silly think about the "it's rigged!" people, is that they always seem to be huge fans that are totally vested in it. I mean, if you thought a sports league was actually rigged, with a predetermined winner, why on earth would you watch? Why would you invest money, time, and your emotions, if you thought it was fixed? That's why I never believe people when they say that. They'll sit there on the edge of their seat, biting the fingernails for three hours, and then when their team loses they'll say "Oh, of course -- it was rigged!".The only rational way to believe that it's all rigged, would be to quit watching it entirely as a response to that belief. Loaf fans have been dining out on the "bad calls against us" tip for years in the GTA, Fletch. I remember that widespread belief being thrown around on T. O. sports media call ins back in 2013 after their dearly annointed's epic dump in the last half of the third period against the B's in Game 7. |

Don't forget Ben Dreidth...and the worst call in NFL history (sorry Raider fans the Tuck Rule was in the handbook, and it's an interpretation)...the roughing the passer on Sugar Bear Hamilton when the league called 4 all season...4 all regular season!...has to go right up there with the robberies of sports...4th and long, let's call RP because he essentially fell on Stabler...the Raiders are done, fucking done...Pats win in 1976...why? Because the winner of that playoff got to play the Steelers minus both RBs Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier both injured...then after cake-walking to the AFC title...what's left waiting? The over-rated Minnesota Vikings, who were not going to stop Grogan, Francis, Cunningham, etc....Pat were fucked by one referee, who I believe was fixing the game for bookies.

Guess the refs in the B’S-Blues game were absent the day the course on “How to screw the B’S” was given….
Had the Blues scored in ot on a questionable non-call like the one prior to Chuckie’s game-winner some on here would be up in arms….
At the end it all evens out….

1. Hockey is the easiest sport to rig. Get to the goalie, there isn't a goalie on the planet who hasn't let in a softie and also had a bad night.
2. Jack Edward is ground zero for the refs have it in for the Bruins, like every period every fucking game.
Jack also attributes nearly everything to some conspiracy - there's a scrum and he attributes it to some nefarious subterfuge - they're trying to get the Bruins off their game or some shit.
"intentionally wide" how could he possibly know?
And more and more and more, saying shit he just makes up.
So no wonder people say shit about the officiating.

No, tonight's calls, BadHab, were as bad it EVER GETS..EMBARRASSING CALLS....this ain't conspiracy theory, this is call them as we see them, and thankfully this had no impact on a playoff spot or was a playoff game itself...these type of calls had the B's got them probably turns a 2-1 game into a 5-1 game

If you don’t think refs don’t call penalties to players who hack Marchand then u got to open your eyes Marchand is the most abused guy I've seen other than how guys lay into Pasta...and what's worse is the feeling, the knowledge that if 63 does anything suspicious it could mean a 10-game suspension while Trouba can slash Freddy in the face and a some guys with a repetitive bad past can get away with fines while McAvoy gets a 4-game suspension based on something he did four years ago...and some of you think this is just "normal" NHL...bull to the shit. |

Marchand also dives more than Lougainis. He just does. That means they eat the whistle if they think he's trying to make them look bad. |

Also, the refs have called more penalties on guys who have fouled Marchand than anyone but Garnet Hathaway and Brady Tkachuk. He gets calls. Not even McDavid.

The equally vanilla Gord Wilson. Could you have more generic Canadian names than Dean Brown and Gord Wilson? It's like an Air Farce skit. Banal, self-consciously Canadian, whiny and not funny. |

You might as well put dresses on goalies if that goal isn't a good goal. |

But I think he was simply too stupid to be part of a conspiracy.
Don't Donaghy & Merk look like brothers? Strange... |

Momentum that carries you into the crease is normal NHL hockey...there is no "intent" to run over a goalie...but when there are obvious run jobs, they are so obvious and it's usually easy to call. Guy storms in and just runs over the goalie...that's not even close to what Geekie did. He made a good NHL play, scored and got fucked.
