Let The Boys Play

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

It is, in fact, as good a concept as the “Let the boys decide it” approach to officiating that apparently is again codified as league policy.

A referee who doesn’t want to decide the game by very definition is, in fact, deciding it. Everyone would agree on that.

Beyond that, why not allow the boys to decide it all the time? Why have referees on the ice at all? Especially if they’re not going to call Matt Martin for tripping the unfortunate Vincent Trochek or Tom Wilson for kneeing Conor Sheary or Kris Letang for going Paul Bunyon on Viktor Stalberg’s mouth?
