I say good. Im tired of his bad calls and more than biased reffing against the Canucks (and the Flames to boot)

I hate Fraser

I really like the league's efforts to have the best ref's making the best calls.

Bad calls can absolutely ruin a big game,remember Hull's skate in the crease in 99/00

Otto kicked it in

Have to agree on this. Fraser is done. That delay of game call against Roberto was bush league. Glad to not see him in this years playoff.

I think Fraser actually calls a good game. Certainly better than McGeough or Schick who both made it in somehow.

I wonder what their criteria was?

Do they reward the refs with the most hooking calls through the regular season with playoff spots?

There should be a stats page kept for refs.

average penalties per game
type of penalties called
a plus/minus stat based on video replay

Stats to be kept by some independent agency NOT gagged, muzzled or otherwise beholding to Betman and the league.

The refs have become such a factor in the 'new' NHL; we should be able to track their stats. I get so tired of the commentators falling over backwards to justify ghost calls.

If the refs screw up they should say it like it is. "That was a rediculous call!!! What the hell was he thinking??? That call wasn't even close !!! He'd like to have that one back.

The commentators are happy to rip a player for a bonehead play. They should hold the refs to the same standards. It might keep me from hurling a beer at the new TV.

I like Hasenfratz. He's a local (Franklin, TN). And he manages to kick the puck to our guys.
