Parros revealed lots of people in DoPS are the exact same people that have been there from the start. There may be a whole bunch of people that stink at that job in charge that have honorary status (Parros alluded to this as well, talking about all the accolades these veteran members have), and they may have as much or more say than Parros does. So, just changing the figurehead might not even matter, the old boys club that are still there might have a hand in picking the replacement. Seems like a department that just needs a full cleansing. I feel like Colin Campbell still has his fingers all over that room too. Never a surprise when the Panthers guys' get off light.

Here's a story about Colin Campbells interference in NHL DOPS and referees with regards to his little boy Gregory.. Tyler Dellow wa steh one who put together the evidence.. associated emails from Campbell to Walkom and Murphy..

Once you read how Campbell runs things at the NHL and DOPS you wouldn't be surprised the refs all look over their shoulders regarding employment..

The culture of NHL refereeing is based on personal bias.. leaking from the top down.

Here's some excerpts confirming how involved Campbell involves himself in individual judgements.. and the huge amount his personal bias and influence he injects into it. BTW the on-ice incident he interferes with in the emails is one between his son (Florida player) and Marc Savard (NYR) .. the one he calls a a "little fake artist" that "he coached in NY"..

He should have been fired in 2010.

Campbel email to Walkhom

Quote:

To Stephen Walkom/Tor/NHL@NHL Subject Re: Delayed Penalties/High Sticks 02/#/2007 4:24 pm A bend in the road is a dead end if you round the corner and Dean Warren is standing there. Your answer re: his high stick calls and the score of the game were horse [bleep]. The 3rd call on [player] was while they were down 5 on 4 and on a def zone face off vs that little fake artist [player] I had him in [city] biggest faker going. And Warren fell for it when he grabbed his face on a face off. Your supposed to see the act, not call the embellishing act. Dean Warren has to go with [referee] There must be a way to get rid of this guy. Is there a way we can tract (sic) and total minors called by referees this year. We could then get the minors they call per game. ... or with 2 [referees on the ice] it is impossible? Warren and [referee] out of [club's] games. Give them to [referees].

Another email regarding same incident..

Re [player] Colin Campbell to Stephen Walkom, Mike Murphy 02/#/2007 09:21 AM I know Murph and Kinger like [player] as a player but my view of him is this exactly...he puts his whining ahead of the game. I don't think this is a regular occurrence (.....getting screwed) and .....exploded .........over the disallowed goal. He may be uncontrollable by .............and.................as I think his frustration level has hit a high point. He hates officials as well. He is still pissed off at [referee] for a call he missed in the playoffs years ago as I remember him bugging Murph about it. Let's give him Warren and [referee] than (sic) he will really have something to whine about.

Another interference with the refs regarding his son.. just a regular season game .. and at the end of a game.. and he didn't even see it.. he heard it on the radio.. freaking bizarre.

Quote:

Dellow even found another instance of Campbell complaining about a call against his son: Nov. 13, 2007, in which Colin Campbell wrote to Walkom, "90 seconds left and he calls a weak penalty...tripping. Makes me sick." The tripping call, according to the box score, was on Gregory Campbell; Colin Campbell wrote that he had not seen the penalty but heard radio announcers say "it was a bull[bleep] call."

This was written by Jack Edwards regarding Campbell (Bruin play by play guy)

Quote:

As Jack Edwards of NESN wrote in his ode to Colin Campbell back in 2009: The only person who seems to understand Colin Campbell's pattern of punishment is Campbell himself. The suspensions he hands down are arbitrary and erratic -- swayed by non-evidence, hunch, gut feelings, anecdotes and back-channel influence peddlers -- and they are almost never clearly explained. He establishes precedent and contradicts it. He makes exceptions based on flawed premises and then concludes his arguments illogically and capriciously. No one, no one, knows what is allowed and what is not allowed. It is Dartboard Justice. Perhaps there is someone patrolling the highways and byways of hockey that has the ability to establish standards of punishment; to draw a clear line that everyone understands; to communicate effectively with players, coaches, managers and fans; and to make the NHL a fair and safe place for the world's most exciting athletes. But Colin Campbell is not that someone.
