This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think if you can yell not once, but twice by wearendhockey
"You're fucking awful" like he did tonight you're probably safe from the bench minor. Most referees don't mind when you say the call was awful, they don't want you to say THEY are awful.
It's never been Jackson's style to bench jockey referees much, and he almost never politics, like Bob Motzko asking the officials to review calls all the time.
I did watch him throw a water bottle all the way across the ice in the direction of a CCHA referee once and yell at him he wasn't even any good when he was just a linesman (memory says it was Keith Langseth).
