BTW, I'm not saying your argument doesn't hold water, and I think it should be researched as well

Ahhh, but we can determine discipline and it may or may not be a factor as to why the numbers looked skewed on the surface. Each and every player card shows the propensity for a player to take a penalty so without looking at that, it's impossible to just call out refereeing. On your opinion that I'm wrong, that's subjective. I'm wrong because you disagree. I'm wrong because you haven't bothered to dig deeper. I'm wrong because I don't believe in excuses. My sports are now a lot less contract but I still argue against excuses for why we lose. The best team doesn't always win. Hell, that's been proven over and over again in hockey alone. Actually, I did look deeper...apparently, deeper than you. I give you---the series stats---No one ever said "the better team is winning or losing." I'm not looking for or giving excuses....I built a team, so did most of the GM's in this league. I just don't want to lose ANY game, regular season or post, because of an officiating algorithm...my point is really that simple. Don't speculate that it's deeper than that for me...it isn't. |

You looked deeper than me? Are you sure? Do you realize that your starting line-up has an average penalty rating of 4.7 while Baltimore's is 3.8. That means Suffolk has a pretty significantly higher likelihood of taking penalties according to card ratings.

Did you look into 'why" these Officials were chosen to officiate the Semi Finals? That's all I want to know...It's pretty obvious my team plays on the edge...with Svechnikov and Tkachuk, Hathaway, Cousins in the lineup...it doesn't take a genius to see that Scott.

So we're back to this. I forgot, my bad. Chris only wants answers from Glenn. No, I didn't look into why these officials were chosen for the playoffs because I don't give a flying fuck about which fake officials are put on the virtual ice. As the matter of fact, the thought never crossed my mind because I have no choice in who the officials are for any game throughout the entirety of the season or playoffs and to this day and moving forward, I will never care about which officials are on the ice during any game. I have never cared who officiated any game I've ever played IRL or here in the virtual world because, quite honestly, it doesn't matter. It's part of the game, just like a bad bounce is part of the game. You have to play the game no matter what official is chosen. Can they impact a game? Maybe even a series? Sure. So can a million other sequences. I think that's the point, whether you agree or not, the officials are part of the game, good or bad.

Well, then you should have stayed out of the conversation.
