I really liked Hitch blasting the refs. A bout f-ing time someone said something about McDavid. It's a joke.
|
Is that the first time we hear someone from the Oilers (coach, GM, etc...) complain? Feels like it - and agree, about damned time. And I say keep bringing it up.
|
I read Staples interview and he doesn't usually say a ton negative against the Oilers and he was saying that's one of the first times. I was never the type who thought McLellen or Chia should be ripping the refs all the time so when they early on took the high road, I accepted that but we are in YEAR 4. It is CONSTANT. Now I do not think you can call every single infraction against McDavid because it would be every shift and you can't have that. But he doesn't even get a call or 2 a game which is an f-ing joke. I have heard the argument that maybe part of it was the refs just physically were not used to a guy being that good who is that fast so there is an adjustment period. It's year 4. They should all be used to him. It's a freaking joke. Do your job NHL refs. People don't come to watch 4th liners water ski the best players.

Sometimes you have to play the referees too. If you never say anything, nothing changes.
This is even more important when you have other team's campaigning against you - as we saw with the Ducks and Carlyle in the playoffs. He suggested that McDavid improperly drew penalties...and the refs stopped calling them as often. Passively saying nothing and hoping they'll finally see the error of their ways clearly didn't work.
Full credit to McLellan for sticking to his guns on that though. Maybe if we'd given that another 4-5 years it finally would have paid off...
