I cried when The Cherry broke up talking about the last Canuck death in Afghanistan. Hockey didn't seem too important at that moment.

If I may comment... refs let stuff go SOMETIMES when it's...

1. not injurious.
2. does not affect the outcome of immediate play.
3. is not done repeatedly.

As has been said, it tends to balance out.

Now, just one more thing about what the refs CAN see. Everything. Unless you are at the game, you only see what's on your TV. You might see a ref ten feet from a "penalty" but you may not have seen what he saw 50 feet from that penalty.

Anyway, there aren't any refs in Afghanistan and hockey is just a game.

Yes, I do get very upset at times, but usually only about dirty play and chippy shit.
