Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)It just seems like there would be a strong taboo element, which I always like. 'The guys (on the team) wouldn't like this.' Also the other refs probably wouldn't like it either. The ref struggling with the conflict of interest but having to keep the ~thing~ a secret. I think it was on Marek vs Wyshynski that I learned that a good proportion of refs were guys who weren't good enough to be players, so it's likely to have a similar dynamic in that regard to superstar/bottom 6 guys.
Man, I think I've talked myself into trying a ref/player AU. Or OMC ref ship fic haha.

From: (Anonymous)I've been afraid to watch because I want them to win SO BAD and good things only happen to teams I dislike. I tuned in for OT, but that did them no good either.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)Jeff Zatkoff has a moment with a ref near the start where they reminisce on Wilkes-Barre. I don't really understand the timing of it, ref? Like, in the middle of a playoff game, really??? It just made me think the ref has a crush on Jeff.
The refs are really nice to the goalies in these, actually.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)That being said (in response to what you said below), I doubt that the front office would be foolish enough to allow one incident to turn them against him. But one incident that we know about doesn't necessarily happen in a vacuum. We don't see all the things they see, and apparently it was WBS personnel telling Rutherford that Pouliot wasn't ready for a call up. I don't completely trust the FO not to have outdated or shitty ideas about young players earning their place/being put in their place, but given that there's been no shortage of young WBS guys who have gotten opportunities this season, I don't give Pouliot the full benefit of the doubt either.

From: (Anonymous)And now I'm not going to read the associated article because either it's more infuriating than the pull quote, in which case fuck you, Lombardi, or it's less infuriating, in which case I don't care because fuck you, Lombardi. It's convenient that now I don't have to learn anything about a new GM in order to be specifically mad about the Kessel decision.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I don't have the highest opinion of Guerin's judgement either, but I thought it was very telling that Sullivan, who was familiar with all the WBS players from his time down there, seemed to trust all of them to play, even when they made stupid mistakes every once in a while, except Pouliot.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I don't really know if Sullivan didn't trust Pouliot. He played him a lot when he got called up, sometimes as the number three defenseman. He got benched literally just because they wanted to try Schultz; if I remember right, Pouliot was playing so well around the deadline that Schultz still had to sit two or three games after he came because Pouliot and Cole were such a great pairing. He didn't get benched for Schultz in the reg season because of a poor game, it was just to see what they had in Schultz. The Penguins got on a roll and Sullivan was hesitant to change the lineup.
Pouliot was also Sullivan's first option over Schultz in the playoffs. He didn't do well and got subsequently benched but still, so did Maatta. No margin for error in the playoffs.

From: (Anonymous)Even if the Sharks don't manage to gain the upper hand in possession at some point during the series, I could definitely see the Pens losing a couple despite numerically outshooting their opposition. I wouldn't die of shock if they swept, but Games 1 and 2 don't make me think it's really in danger of happening.
