Yeah, the opposing goalie came out to play a puck and put it over the glass.The nearest ref put his arm up and called delay of game. He was right in front of their bench so they immediately started giving him poo poo about it and the 2nd ref came over and straightened him out. e: Then my team's captain said "if you want to call something, how about calling one of the hooks I keep getting?" and the ref put him in the box for "abuse of an official" or whatever.

Under USA Hockey the puck over glass rule applies to goalies. Skaters have to put it over the glass deliberately to get a penalty, but it's automatic for goalies. (Don't ask me why, I think it's stupid too.)

Huh, so I guess the other ref / everyone else was wrong Though we don't have USA Hockey refs, so who knows. If anyone's curious it's rule 610: "d) A minor penalty shall be assessed to a goalkeeper who shoots the puck directly (non-deflected) outside of the playing area, except when the puck inadvertently leaves the playing area in a location that is not protected by glass or screen."

I overheard a phone call today confirming that the Stanley cup will be in our office in a few weeks for the day. We are going to have a few hours to take photos with it and what not. This will be my second time seeing and touching the cup. I will never turn pro or have a chance to win it so touchy touch touch touch. First week on the job and the perks are already starting to present themselves.

Of course I should talk to the league about my issues with officiating. Do you really think that I posted here instead, hoping and praying that one of you would find out what league I play in and contact them for me? No, I don't expect NHL refs. But I do expect that in a no-check league, if a referee watches an opponent skate directly towards me, and then knocks me over by putting a shoulder into my sternum, that he should know that's a penalty and that he should call that penalty. That is not unreasonable in any way.

Good on you when you talk to the league. It's important that the folks in charge hear it when the refs are doing a poo poo job. Hopefully enough complaints and the the ref in question won't be asked to officiate any more games. I'm just trying to wrap my head around what positive outcome you thought yelling at the ref or laying out the other guy would accomplish.

I would love to hear any success stories of taking to your league about anything, officiating or not. My leagues can't figure out fees and scheduling. I cannot imagine them figuring out a dispute with an official. And when I officiated i think the league came to me once about an issue, and it was actually about a coach and not my officiating. I'm not saying anyone here is wrong but there are two sides to every incident and officials only have 2 eyes. I've missed things in front of me because I was focused down ice and vice versa. I've also made bad judgments and flat out missed things too.

My most recent game saw a teammate have a stick broken over him on a boarding. As play resumed the refs said someone from the other team had to get in the box. Best part was the exchange: Ref: "You gotta put number 4 in the box." Center: "What for?" Ref (Sarcastically): "Because I'm the boss." Made a few of us chuckle.

The idea of talking to the league is that if anyone one ref gets enough complaints, they'll take action. All I'm saying is, focus on things that have at least the possibility of creating a better outcome. Guys that scream at the refs about missed calls wind up looking like the douche at the airline ticket counter yelling at the desk jockey because their flight is delayed.

So what you're saying is bring your phone to the bench so when someone starts unloading on the ref, you can film it and upload it to youtube for everyone to laugh at. As soon as they're done laughing at you for bringing a phone to the bench.

Have any of you had any luck approaching businesses about sponsoring your team? I was thinking of asking a bar I go to a lot and also maybe some local breweries. Basically we just want someone to buy us jerseys. My talking points: - We'll wear the jerseys at least 2 years, but probably forever because we're lazy. - Business name becomes our team name - They can put a graphic on our league page (like this: http://www.sportability.com/spx/leagues/Team.asp?LgID=22369&TmID=205087) - List of other businesses that have sponsored teams (three breweries have teams where I play). - They can get a jersey to put up in their bar / taproom.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why you thought that between getting checked and getting angry, I stopped and made a list of the pros and cons of getting angry and then, considering all the data, came to logical conclusion that it was my best course of action. Especially given that I said I thought what I did was dumb and didn't wish to hurt anybody. I guess it's hard for you to understand, but humans are not controlled by microchips. We have brains that make these things called emotions. They're powerful and they might not always lead us to the smartest course of action. You may think it's a weakness and I imagine when the Great War is upon us, it will be one of the things you try to eradicate from this world. But, for now, you will just have to accept it as reality, confusing though it may be to your circuits.

Yeah. I heard that a lot on my old team too. Guy gets cross checked or roughed up on the boards. No call. So he takes a number and either winds up starting a fist fight or just straight up wrecks the other guy into the boards. When asked, "Why are you such a goddamned hothead?" they usually respond "Because he hurt my feels and the ref didn't call it!" Don't back down when feels are on the line, man. Seriously though, having emotions and being able to control them are two entirely different things. edit: Alright, I'm going to back off of this, and I'm sorry for being such a dick. This is kind of a personal thing for me right now. I just quit a team I've been on for 12 years because of most of the guys' attitudes towards physical play. It got to where we'd constantly be a man down because some guy was checking some other guy because "gently caress that guy!" Most games would invariably get out of hand, and there were times I'd be honest-to-god nervous to be on the ice because of the fear of retaliation. This kind of attitude pretty much killed any enjoyment I had playing beer league, and letting my captain know why I was quitting the team was one of the toughest conversations I've had in a long time. I know sometimes our emotions get the best of us, but I've just seen this kind of thing escalate too often. Lo siento. waffle enthusiast fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Sep 20, 2013 |

Acting like a baby and throwing a tantrum is not being an adult. I had a little napolean complex dude straight up take a swing at me a few games ago. Did I flip out and beat the poo poo out of him? No.. Could I have? probably. I let his mortified teammates pull him away and let the refs give him a game misconduct and toss him. Was I mad that he had he tried to punch me (he actually did clip my cage) yes, of course I was, but standing there staring him down like his punch meant nothing was much more gratifying as was my team ringing them up on the ensuing power play.

I have found that the best course of action with guys like that is to just ignore them because they clearly just want attention. In my game last night, a player on the other team was trying to knee people and slash their wrists all game. Just skate away and don't say anything and they have no idea what to do with themselves. Maybe throw a short chirp their way if they are being persistent.

It's really funny you told that story to show how much of an adult you were, because it was full of things that weren't really all that mature. Why did you mention he was little and had a Napoleon complex? How was that relevant? Or did you just want to belittle him while you told us the story? Then you stared him down in an obvious attempt to intimidate him. That's kinda childish. Like, teenage childish. Just skating away would have been a far more adult response. And the smug satisfaction you got over the revenge you gleaned? That's not a very mature response.

Whole lotta try hards in this thread right now. But seriously, lemme know when your league does anything when you complain, especially with officials. Having played with league directors they're almost always laughing about you and talking poo poo about you to the officials and others, making sure everyone knows about your reputation. To them it's not very likely you'll leave your team and be able to play elsewhere. And if so, meh, there are other players to fill your vacancy.
