  1. Thanks for doing this! I like these guys and can't stand Kelly Hrudey. & Kipper & Bourne…Hot meat hockey is bad! (H. take H.) I admire old school Harry Neal, Bob Cole, & more recently I like Don Cherry, Elliotte Friedman Ralphy & Jim Tatti ,Ron Maclean… & honorable mention goes to good ol Dangling Steve-man…. Chris Johnson show is always great! peace and keep up the great work! šŸ™‚

  2. I disagree C.J. I think Sheldon Keefe was absolutely right calling out Tampaā€™s ref manipulation, is it going to change anything, Probably not because refs are gonna ref, but whatā€™s wrong with putting a microscope on it mid series, Keefe dealt with it perfectly, almost congratulating them, subtly exposing Cooper for the snake he is

  3. Tampa had a good goal taken away and Leafs won the game.

    Keefeā€¦b!tches about the refs.

    Perennial losers donā€™t even know what to do with a W šŸ˜‚

  4. This my Fav. SDPN show ! You guys are fantastic at what you guys do !! Good Job Boys – GO LEAFS GO

  5. As far as officiating goes in the playoff games, I donā€™t think it would be the worst idea in the world to maybe bring over some referees from Europe, Sweden, Slovakian, Finnish, etcā€¦ personal to maybe ref some of the games or maybe just bring in one European ref and one ref from our league, I donā€™t know try something like maybe to see if the officiating can be better somehow because I am not a fan of referees moderating games or making sure calls are even for each team and what not, just whenever thereā€™s a penalty call it, if one team happens to get 15 penalties and the other team takes two then that one team obviously needs to not take those penalties especially if upon further review like replay you see that they are all legitimate penalties and you can see that the other team really only to took two and all the ref did was do his job and blow the whistle anytime he saw an infraction thatā€™s all I ask is just call the penalties and donā€™t try to moderate the games. That was just my two. That was just my two cents and I think a lot of people actually would agree with me on at least some if not most of my points, just saying, just want the game to be consistent. And therefore better. GO LEAFS GO, LETS DO IT BOYZ, IM LITERALLY BLEEDING BULE AND WHITE.
    P.S Maybe I should get that checked out by a doctor.

  6. I think Keefe comments were spot on and needed to be made. Refs need to start doing their job instead of being clowns out there.

  7. Oilers fan that would take Draisaitl in that scenario every time.
    Connors play off performance last year had a ton to do with Leon playing with him because he was too injured to play center.
    Draisaitl ppg pace career so far is second only to Gretzky. Surpasses Mario Lemiuex.
    Gretzky 1.84 Draisaitl 1.66 Lemiuex 1.61
    McDavid was 1.06 in 3 playoffs until last year playing with Draisaitl
    He's 1.5ppg this year without him.
    2.06 last year with him. Draisaitl was 2.0 last year with McDavid.
    Draisaitl is 2.25 this year without McDavid.

  8. I think the league is giving directive to the refs about how to do their job. Theyā€™re asking the refs to manage instead of actually calling the penalty they see.

  9. Listened to the pod while on a run myself today – trading in the treadmill at the gym for the great outdoors now that the weather is turning. A solid 9:06 mile pace on a run just shy of a 5k. A new best running outside and I will credit CJ for roughly 3% of that

  10. If you've seen reffing at the tier 1 and 2 level the last 15 years (don't they move up from that level) you wouldn't be surprised by the quality your getting now.

  11. I just donā€™t buy into this narrative that nhl refs are best in the world. If you look at iihf refs, you may not like it, but they call penalties consistently throughout the game without prejudice, not taking into account the player or the situation. The nhl however is refereeing is way to subjective. Itā€™s like judging gymnastics, to much bias is involved across all games for every team.

  12. Bravo Julian for your take on the officiating, hit the nail on the head! The whole reffing system needs an overhaul desperately.
