Stevie Wonder wouldn't have missed that many calls. 

Watching last night's game is precisely the reason I don't do social media. I would have spent half the night calling out the refs on the league's Twitter feed or whatever. It was bad enough during regulation, but to go through almost 2 OTs and get progressively worse?  How is that possible?

yeah feels like we are getting b*tch slapped by the NHL doesn't it?

I will say it looks pretty close to a slew foot Staal threw from one angle. 
 

He was also attempting to change directions when the guy tries to open ice check him so he basically just rag dolled the guy, I don’t think if his foot got as high it would have been anything special and I don’t think it was fine worthy to begin with. But ya probably a penalty.
 

I don’t like how they aren’t posting videos to most of these fines explaining them either now. Cause there’s really only one angle circulating but I remember watching it in real-time and replay it didn’t look nearly as bad as the one angle.

The NHL puts a fine on that play and completely ignores the interference on Staal later, which could have been a penalty shot.

The icing call when Ben Harpur was playing the puck in front of him, looked up for a second to see where he was going with the pass, the puck slides by and gets the whistle. WTF?

But ya I pretty much agree this was the league hitting back for our comments. 

Point being, the players don't care if the officiating is good, bad or whatever. They just need to know that it'll be consistent and they'll play the game accordingly.

The issue comes with them toning down their hits from 50 a game to 35 and still getting the same amount of calls. Honestly they should dial it up and go to 60+ and play their game.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
