Re: Devils Vs Giants - 14th Jan - Challenge Cup- Quarter Fin
But this is the beauty of sport, it is often a matter of opinion and not fact. Many times fouls are black or white but very regularly they are grey. We have all seen replays of incidents, you only have to look at the last week in the NFL and experts debate whether something seen from multiple view is a catch or not.
Having two people on the ice means two different opinions, hopefully more often than not there will be consensus and there is a benefit. But, no two referees will agree on every call and that's part of the reason we watch the game. We all watch the same 60 minutes and can have different opinions on who the best player was. These decisions are made in the blink of an eye and we all say that "It's the fastest team game in the world".
In my opinion 2 refs is the way forward and I would hope that on 99% of the calls both refs would agree with each others opinions. Apart from anything else the feeling that they were against us last night actually added to the atmosphere and created a better overall game.

Hi everyone, new member here! This is the first season I’ve had a season ticket and have been blown away by how well the Devils are playing, and the level of support they've been receiving.
Last night was fantastic. The first period wasn't so great, with some dodgy penalty calls but it was a fantastic come back performance. Looking forward to Saturday night now, let’s keep this beast in motion! :twisted:
