A good referee is one that can see the whole game as it’s being played. Far too many times, you get out there and the refs are blind. Just give me one with good vision, or a good eye prescription. Seriously, and sometimes, it’s the blind leading the blind out here on the ice. You sometimes get a gaggle of blind referees. And for my money, it really messes up the flow of the game. If they are missing penalties or if a linesman is missing off-sides, then I don’t know what to really expect out of these guys. I like a good ref with a sense of integrity and a good pair of eyes on them. Call the game fairly, consistently and we can have a good game. It’s always interesting to see what others consider a good referee. Some might say one that lets certain penalties off easy, but I mean if it’s on the books, it’s on the books. Ref’s gotta address what’s on the books.
