Quote: "Two guys in front of us started giving the refs (grief) after they clearly missed a call," Hoy said. "Happens at every game, right? "Well, the No. 10 official put his fingers up and rubbed his eyes and made a crying face, like 'what are you going to do, cry?' They started giving him more (grief) and he put his middle finger up to his chin and acted like he was scratching his face. It was very, very blatant. The whole section saw it and went crazy." Interesting story from great NHL beat guy Aaron Portzline |

If it's true. I love it. Some of the shit people say to officials is downright offensive even to me, and I'm pretty open about most things. I can't blame them if they fire off at obnoxious fans now and again. |

Imagine if the referee flipped off the Buffalo crowd and mocked them after that penalty wasn't called when Tyler Myers got tripped up against Florida. You might be singing a different tune. |

if the crowd is overly obnoxious, then, no, i still think what devorski did was awesome. |

clearly a reaction like flipping off a fan was provoked. just because you buy a ticket to a game doesnt give you the right to act like a moron, and insult and antagonize someone without consequence. these fans probably got what they deserved. |

Clearly, it was. But you can't do that to a fan base. Period. The officials are paid. The fans pay to be there. Act like a professional. There is no way anyone here would have liked this had it happened in Buffalo following a call that should have been made. |

I'm kind of on the same side as Tom & Mike. Granted, they miss calls, a lot of what would seem to be against our boys on a nightly basis. But they're human too. I'm not saying I've never wished a lot of very bad things to happen to them in the heat of the game. But there is a point when a zebras gatta do, what a zebras gatta do. I do, however, think it would be funny as old fuck if the ref went up to the glass and started giving it to the fan(s) just as hard and freaking out & shit. Then be all calm like and say, “See? That’s you. That’s what you look like”. |

I'm a paid professional as well. After I take enough bullshit from some people in the company, I snap too. |

it depends on how you look at the situation. i dont see this as a black and white situation. plenty of gray here. people snap in different ways to being heckled. look at comedian michael richards. good on devorski, in my opinion. |

I don't think its right for any sort of official to engage the fans. They're trained not to because that only serves to exacerbate what's already a bad situation. If Devorski did do something this, I think he deserves to be disciplined. |

Maybe if refs would get some fucking glasses we wouldn't be in this situation, eh? |
