Officiating

We were at a hockey game tonight, and at the end of the game a fan a few rows back stood up and yelled, "I've never seen worse calls in thirty years!"

And I thought really? I mean, I am not much of a sports fan at all and rarely go to any games, yet I have seen worse calls.

Clearly this guy wasn't at the lacrosse game where the referee showed up in flip flops (which he kept losing as he tried to run up and down the field). The kids also came off the field disgusted because that referee actually gave the players penalties for talking too loud. (Hangover anyone?)

So, were these bad calls? I don't know. But I highly doubt they were the worst calls ever.
