Siegel is gone?

You're right. Why should we as fans ever be optimistic about the program moving forward? Maybe if we we're all extremely pessimistic and down we could be considered real "fans" like you.

It's a shame you're being forced to be here. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

You seem pretty unhinged.

The kind of speed that forces a defense to keep a safety over the top. Clive was the last one we had. Need another one.

It's all related. Should Walsh have called the dive? Yes. Did he make a mistake not calling it? Yes. Did he also make up for it by giving Biondi a double minor 40 seconds later? Maybe. Did he and the other officials make multiple mistakes throughout the weekend? Yes. There is an unbelievably toxic view of referees whether it be the youth, junior, college, and pro ranks in hockey. This comes from idiot parents, idiot coaches, and yes idiot fans. Sat next to a family on Friday who were upset with a call on the ice. The dad started yelling and not more than 5 seconds later, his son (maybe 6 or 7 years old) started yelling about the referee sucking as well. Do hockey officials make mistakes? Yes, all the time. It's easily the hardest sport to officiate as nearly every single rule is left up to the discretion of the referee. USA Hockey's new rulebook this year makes it even more difficult. Is there a problem with calling out a mistake made by an official? No. I commend you for getting your certification and volunteering your time. I would just think you would have a bit more respect/sympathy for others doing the same thing. Looking forward to this weekend. Always a fun time when the goofs come to town. Be prepared for controversial calls and even missed or bad calls. Also try to remember that referees are human.

Yeah, as much fun as it is to clown on gopher fans, not a good look at all.

All of this for an undercooked burger...

I like that. The officiating "guru". It's not my fault you guys make yourselves look ignorant based on the comments you make. Officiating numbers in USA hockey are down nearly 40% this year. I didn't dispute a single post anybody made. I'm simply stating that there are a few of you on this board who seem to think you know the rules better than the refs. Maybe you do? Grab a whistle, complete your certification, and prove it. Or, continue being ignorant and making our fan base look like a bunch of whiners. Continue being butt hurt I called you out all you want. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Never even disagreed with anything you said. Simple question. No need to be angry.

I'm not. You just sound like such an expert, thought I would ask.

Which game are you reffing this weekend?

Only a five.

Crazy thought here... ...stay out of the box.

One more time? They were never going to attempt a field goal.

You need to hear it again? They were never going to put the game on the backup kicker who shanked twice against Southern Illinois with the game on the line earlier this year.

They were never going to attempt a field goal. I don't know how many times you need to hear it.

There was no chance we were ever going to attempt a field goal with our backup kicker who couldn't hit water falling out of a boat. Should Tommy have taken that sack? No. Our NFL left tackle probably would have prevented that. Should Bubba have taken a timeout? Yes.

And the five we lost are probably all playoff teams. Crazy.

50% chance? Are you insane?

Kicking a field goal wasn't an option. It was touchdown or nothing.

I've got no issue with color guys being biased as long as they're fair. That guy though? Yikes.

Must be your first time here. There is no such thing as field goal range on this team.

Yeah the color guy needs a swift kick in the ass

It only seemed like that last drive for the bad snaps, but it was damn near every single one.
