The player and referee relationship has been lost.

This was the Rangers bench at a game in Buffalo last year and they had them plastered all down the bench.

@hockeylogic I love reading about ref interactions over the years, Paul Stewart was one of my favs. Jacques Demers once sent a player over to remind him that he once coached him. Stewart sent the player back to remind Demers that he remembered when Demers drove a Volvo instead of a Mercedes

NHL reffing is almost as bad as the WNBA LOL, WELL NOT REALLY but it is way worse than NBA, NFL and MLB. Way worse

@BizNasty2point0 Couldn’t agree more

Crosby knows their home addresses and birthdays.
