“He made a mistake, but unfortunately you don’t want make up calls to be part of the game,” Edmonton's Adam Larsson said. Most players and coaches expressed respect for on-ice officials and lamented how difficult their jobs are keeping track of the fast-paced game. “I think it’s maybe unfortunate that it happened and came out that way, but at the same time, the league had to do what they had to do.”
“I’ve never heard anything like that,” Backstrom said. Washington center Nicklas Backstrom, a 14-year veteran, said the incident was a first for him. ”But as players, all you can ask for is that they try to call it as fair as possible." “Some of the good refs definitely have a feel for the game and they know the ebbs and flows and they know to try to keep the game as even as possible unless the play dictates otherwise," New York Rangers forward Ryan Strome said. If one team is earning power plays, you can't punish them because the other team is not.”ĭuchene and other players around the league cast doubt on “make-up calls” being a regular part of hockey, though he acknowledged “there’s definitely nights where you’re skeptical of it.” “I’ve always been frustrated when I’ve seen even-up calls or stuff like that. “The crazy part is he was talking to (teammate Filip) Forsberg in that clip, and he told our bench that. Nashville's Matt Duchene on a local radio appearance Wednesday wondered aloud what would have happened if Detroit scored on the power play, won the game and the Predators missed the playoffs by a point. The Predators won 2-0 and were called for four penalties, compared with the Red Wings' three. I think that was more true 20 years ago.” “I haven’t felt that they’ve felt he need to even it up.
“If they absolutely blow a call, I think the referees just leave it there and I don’t think they bring it into the rest of the game,” Maurice said. Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice, who is in his 23rd NHL season behind the bench, said make-up calls were much more common in the past. “There is no justification for his comments, no matter the context or intention," Campbell said. Peel worked the game with referee Kelly Sutherland. “It wasn't much, but I wanted to get a (expletive) penalty against Nashville early in the,” the unidentified official was heard saying before the audio cut off.

The NHL determined it was Peel's voice on the TV broadcast of the Predators home game against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night after Nashville forward Viktor Arvidsson was issued a minor tripping penalty five minutes into the second period. NHL vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said “nothing is more important than ensuring the integrity of our game" and that Peel's conduct "is in direct contradiction to the adherence to that cornerstone principle that we demand from our officials and that of our fans, players, coaches and all those associated with our game expect and deserve.” It’s just human nature to maybe look for the team that’s down, but it seems to happen all the time.” I don’t believe that that’s how they go about it. "It seems to always get a power play, the team that’s behind. “Watch what happens at the end of games,” said Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour, a former center who played more than 1,600 NHL games.
The 54-year-old Peel had planned to retire next month, but his early exit sparked discussion across the league about the approach and mindset of officials tracking the games. Peel will “no longer will be working NHL games now or in the future," the league said. – The NHL announced Wednesday that Tim Peel's career as a league referee is over after he was picked up by a TV microphone saying he wanted to give the Nashville Predators a penalty, an incident that put the notion of “make-up" calls squarely in the spotlight.
