“You know what?” All the video and all that stuff, it really bothers me. I just think being able to challenge all these plays — like, hockey’s a game of mistakes, not only by the players but by the referees, and that’s part of what makes it a good sport.

“You get your calls against you, but you get the calls that go your way, too. With all the video, there’s a lot of blame that gets put on the refs. They’re there to make those quick-decision calls. Now they’re calling them back all the time.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. I think that’s going to go — it’s just taking hockey to a place where it’s just, it’s annoying. All these dumb stats that keep coming out. They’re just bothering me.”
