Ok so having seen these I gotta wonder one what McAlister was thinking. Not smart on his part. Its I mean he acts like a tough guy from what I have seen but if you are going to drop them like a tough guy then well make sure you dont get dummied like that. Wow.
Second, Farrell deserved it. Went way to low very late. Did he spit? I have never seen a mouth guard fall out like that.
Third, Latchford...**** is your gonna swing your stick like that wow. He deserved it too. Only decent thing here was a fight between Simms and McAlister. I think the other two were kind of cheap shots by two guys who clearly weren't thinking.

I hear ya Matty B but as has been said before, we aren't going to whine about it in our corner. After all we aren't from Wellington
Although I don't agree that Latchford shouldn't see extra discipline for the stick swing it is onto Game 6 tomorrow night in Kingston in what up until now has been a great series.

There had better be some suspensions from Mr. Ladds so he can determine this series like he did the Kingston/Huntsville series.......what's everybody think......I think NOT!!!!!
Latchford is nothing but a **** disturber...he interferes with Goalies from Sept-present, he is a dirty as they come
As for McCallister, 5'6" 150lb. Ronnie George from Huntsville, a one punched knock out......I guess tough guy is not really a very good description of him.

I think the higher ups have already have too much impact in the semi finals. As much as the actions by the Kingston players were wrong it is time to let the refs deal with it on the ice and let the players play the game.
The only suspension that will come of this will be the automatic suspension to Sparks.

I agree with you, you'd think in semi final/final games you'd put your most competent refs in, and let them call the game based on what happened that game, the boardroom calls it based on everything BUT, that game. To bad

if the best refs were out there last night non of that would have happened. how many games do you see mcquigge ref where **** gets out of control? i rest my case. p.s. ohl games cant be an excuse there werent any yesterday

You are right on Craig but unfortunately McQuigge works both the O and our league and with the O's playoffs running Sean is in high demand there as well ....seems he has a great rep just about everywhere he goes ....he's a great guy that has alot of respect from both the player and coaches alike ...and I've even heard fans cheer when they see him hit the ice ...Maybe the league needs to rate their officals like the NHL that way only the highest rated officals work the playoffs and the field narrows as the demand for officals weans...voted by the GM's ...

suds regardless of whether or not mcquigge was available there was one ojhl game and no ohl games last night. that leaves lots of options if you ask me

Maybe the leagues officals are refusing to take assignments with all the boardroom officiating that has gone on in recent weeks and they are at the point of taking whoever they can get LOL

very true insight suds i never thought of that. it will be interesting next season to see if they have a hard time with refs because of the politics that have occured in the playoffs.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday, probably the refs with the most seniority get their choice on holidays such as Easter. Maybe McQuigge, to name one, chose to not work on Easter Sunday in order to be with his family, or his religious committment was a priority.
I would have probably made the same choice.
Just a possibility IMO.
