NEED TO KNOW



Ok, as many of you know I play in an adult hockey league here in KC.  One question that runs rampant in my mind is this.  If the refs are not protecting the players by calling penalties, is it ok to take it into your hands and show the guy its not ok to slash everyone on the team repeatedly?

Star-divide

My problem is the refs in both leagues I play in are absolutely terrible in making calls, and often times let play continue until tempers boil over and someone gets just hammered into the boards or a fight breaks out.  I have a tough time keeping my cool sometimes because of this.  I constantly will take pot shots at refs for being blind and being on the other teams payroll because of said miscues.  Now I wont get ejected from games, I know where the line is and I dont cross it I just let them know I am there and usually tell them if they dont start calling cheap shots there might be a little damage done.  Maybe moving up in leagues the refering(sp?) gets better, but in my current league trips, high sticks, and slashing all go to the way side because refs dont like being at my games or the say "well he cant skate what do you expect?".  I expect a fair game, I am very much a person that can skate, better then most in my league, and when I get tripped I expect the fucking call.  Not the well its D league bullshit.  Sooner rather then later, the guy that trips me, slashes me, or does anything to impede my progress will know you do not do that, and will not get away with it

I need opinions, because it honestly gets very old when refs miss more calls then anything ive ever seen

Just blast the motherfuckers.

Take no mercy. If it’s that bad, you really shouldn’t give a shit if you get tossed. You’ll know who’s right.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

I get tossed every other soccer game, it’s not that bad.

The refs in our league allow too much crap. I agree. One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: saying anything to the refs does no good, and fighting only gets you suspended for 2 games. I just let it go, and wait until I have the fucker behind the play and behind the refs. And let him know why. Most get the point and back off. Some guys are punks and don’t give a shit. They’re gonna do what they want.

see

I learned my fighting lesson last winter, but the guy did get the message and he currently doesnt play anymore, the checking thing is one way to take it. and i have done what you have done, i protect my teammates the way i would expect them to take care of me, enough is enough when refs let that shit slide.

One year in our rec league we got a team from street hockey come join us

There were 2 brothers on the team who were absolute total hackers that couldn’t skate worth a shit. Daddy owned a pro shop and these 2 thought they were the shizzle. One was a huge bag of shit with a temper who was the classic bully. We pounded their sorry azzes every game in the corners but they just kept up their woodchopping and nasty cheap shots. Finally one game I had enough and told our team in the locker room to follow my lead.

Bout mid game the one brother jumped on one of our little guys and I headed in to help bail him out. The big baby huey brother butt ended me bad as I skated by so I 2 handed him right in the melon. Didnt faze the bag of shit one bit. He went off and I lured him in closer by skating right up to him and daring him to punch me. Hands at my sides, I offered him a freebie knowing a person can’t throw if they don’t have any balance on ice. I watched this clown wind up and miss and fall flat on his azz. By now this fucktard was coming unglued from my taunting. He started destroying the heaters and benches around the rink trying to get at me while I blew kisses at him. He destroyed the locker room after we taunted his sorry azz there and finally the cops arrived and carted his azz off.

/no more hackers. The league AND rink banned them forever. I didn’t get any suspension and the league lived happily ever after.

There’s always a way to skin a cat, you have to find that way.

Our refs are pretty lax too. I’m not the greatest skater in the world, but I don’t go down much without a reason. We were playing a team that was just cheap all over. I got knocked over by one of there players 3 times. If its once or twice, I understand. Even though its a non-checking league accidents happen. Finally the third time I went down and lost the puck by the boards. When the D-bag that hit me picked it up I was to my feet and got about three strides and then drilled him into the boards. I got a 2 minute roughing, but they backed off.

I say take iti into your hands. If the refs don’t call it, let the other team know you won’t put up with their crap.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
