    nope - do your research as the anti-vaxxers would say;)   I'm an anti-AHOLE biz-supporter.  There is a HUGE history there that doesn't jibe with the "boo-hoo little small business owner" angle.   These people knew what they where doing and it was totally for themselves.  That place should have been run out of town years ago - for the good of GF/EGF!   There are TONS of more deserving restaurants than this trainwreck.  When's the last time you heard anyone say "WOW!  You have to eat the Boardwalk...(crickets)"

    You seem pretty unhinged.

    Not sure. I’m also not sure what is meant by a “burner”.  What kind of speed are you looking for?  

    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.

    A three paragraph rant and we're the butt hurt whiners??  Yes, officiating is down because of idiot youth coaches and parents.  Not idiot fans on message boards like myself.  

    Great call by your buddy Walsh on the dive though.  Textbook.  He has hurt UND for years but you wouldn't know because you are scared about hurt feelings and how our fans look?  Pretty pathetic in my book.  

    Got my certification, and volunteered hundreds of officiating hours to my last youth club. I hope parents/coaches leave the youth/ALL officials alone.  In all sports.   

    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.

    PLUS - the owners said they were just "trying to help their employees pay bills" by opening?  What a lie! JM was rich enough to help her employees through this covid mess but she used them as an excuse to keep making HER money.   She put her employees AND her customers at risk trying to make a buck for herself.  What a POS!

    FYI - City of EGF  - GIve that space to someone who actually cares about the community - not just their own rich, self serving ass.

     

    All of this for an undercooked burger...

    To quote the officiating guru on this board, "what game were you reffing last night"?

    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.

    We’ll never know but your assertions aren’t holding any water.

    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.

    You tell me the stats then big mouth.

    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.

    Not saying be ultra conservative, but know that you can’t eliminate that as a last chance thing.  Also, do you not think that the interception was a direct result of being behind the chains as a result of the sack.

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

    How are you taking that sack when you are already in field goal range.  Doesn’t get sacked or throw interceptions except in the worst possible times.

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