I was stood on the ground floor next to blaze bench and i can honestly say that the abuse dished out at campbell, was just cause considering his conduct on the ice whilst voth was incapacitated.
Also i think people are being a bit hard on the boys after voth went down cos Scotty Romfo was going nuts punching and shoving at anyone in his way as well as the other lads who were all jarring at opposing players, the officials did not impose their authority enough, which was poor because as mentioned in previous posts Voth could have been seriously injured and if it were the case their would have been a lot of heads rolling over the poor conduct in general from blaze players and officials...... Id also pass comment on what the officials do when the shoe is on the other foot, I think this attitude has developed through fear and poor judgement... IMO I think Voth has long established himself as an invincible and intimidating prescence and so when he is dishing it out its like the refs expect it from him and throw the book at him, but in the rare occasions when Voth is in danger they dont protect him becuase he is kind of too tought to be protected (not saying this is right just stating what i think) so overall i concur with the general feeling of everyone, the refs in this league are useless, this is a physical game played with raw emotion and when the **** hits the fan refs should be there to take on anything, and they just dont fit the bill they should treat each player with equal contempt in respect of penalty awarding and they should express an equal duty of care on every player that competes tough guy or not cos they are all human all feel pain and all bleed.... Just wanna say that Campbell is a poor sportsman, a decent player but not a professional, when he was escorted off the ice a fan called him a pussy and he went for the fan........
Campbell you do not bite the hand which feeds you and if you went for me i would have slapped you in your ugly head, the reason i say this is because the fans are the customers and whatever they say they are not athletes and they are not targets to scrimmage with, so if i was campbell i would be reviewing my conduct with fans in the future.... anyway enough about that fairplay to Voth his nose was in bits (probably broke) and there was blood pouring but he got up and took campbell on if the fight occured without voth getting sucker punched after taking a big knock he would have destroyed him, heart of a warrior!! good effort Vother!!!
