Just a thought......
Remember the NHL playoff game back in the 80's? The one where the NJ Devils' coach got tossed for contacting the referee and calling him a fat pig? He was suspended, and NJ went out and got an injunction also that allowed him to coach their next game. The NHL officials unanimously said "Fine, officiate the damn game yourself". The NHL then had to find some amateur guys to do the game. It would be kinda nice if the officials assigned to the ESPN game tonight told 'em the same thing--"Sorry, changed my mind. I'm busy tonight". I know that if I was assigned to the game tonight, I'd tell them to find someone else.
Won't happen, but I can dream.....
