Referee Tim Peel was released by the National Hockey League, not so much for making a ” make-up call ” or a ” game management call “, but rather for inadvertently having his intention boomed out on the in-house microphone.
As I said at the time, the ” even-up ” call is as much a part of hockey officiating as the whistle.
And then I got thinking about ” game management ” calls and was reminded that on their path to the 2011 Ontario Hockey League Championship, the Owen Sound Attack benefited twice.
First on Saturday April 23rd in Game 3 of the Western Final against Windsor. With the series tied at 1 win apiece and the Spitfires leading 4-3 with 5 minutes to go at the Bayshore, Windsor’s Jake Carrick punched Jesse Blacker.
Even if a shrinking salary cap won’t bottom out as much as predicted, this offseason will still be an uphill climb for most organizations. A salary cap drop of more than $18 million means teams will have to work hard to get out of the red, cutting even more (and better) players to clear space than usual.
Sure, the term “salary cap casualty” gets thrown around a little too liberally for my liking, but good players will be on the chopping block for the sole purpose of clearing money off the books this offseason. So heed my warning when I say to brace yourselves for some high-profile names unexpectedly making it onto the open market – including, of course, from the Bears.
