Red Wings, Predators back officiating after referee's on-ice comment
As far as the Red Wings and Nashville Predators are concerned, the NHL got it right.
The league's decision to end the officiating career of Tim Peel was the correct call, as far as players and coaches are concerned, after Peel's comments during Tuesday's 2-0 victory in Nashville.
Peel was caught on a microphone during Tuesday's Red Wings-Predators game saying he "wanted" to call a penalty on the Predators. He was removed by the NHL on Wednesday from officiating future games.
"It was an unfortunate situation, it wasn't right, and the NHL handled it pretty well in my opinion," Predators forward Colton Sissons said.
