"Two referees and a linesman is ridiculous because it simply confuses roles, since a referee is expected to call lines at some times but not others"
I agree. We actually have people here that belive it is good training for a new linesmen. I say it is good training for total confusion. However, I believe the system got its begining in NCAA Hockey. It was their way of appeasing the media for having more referees on the ice to call more penalities.In the long run it meant that that referees could stay around a few more years because the skating is not as rigorous as the RLL system. Therefore it became more acceptable. At 53 I can understand and accept that.
But the RRL system stills sucks.
