Re: appropriate thing to do

That would be nice, but not likely to happen for any team with budgetary concerns. As a parent/timekeeper myself I have also been privy to some very interesting coversations between benches, player to player, bench to player, and more disturbingly on ice officials regarding certain teams and individuals. If the OW heard some of the things said (before the game), by the paid officials they would most certainly never work the loop again. Of course they would just deny it like do whenever there is a disciplinary hearing and as long as they stick together their word is gospel. Just not sure because we pay them they're correct for this job.
