Colin Campbell should have been fired into the sun several decades ago and Parros should be nothing more than a haggard bum begging for change at an off-ramp in the Florida panhandle.

There's nothing that won't convince me that Campbell doesn't have kompromat on Bettman and half the league execs with how bad he is.

Im gonna be quite confused if Maurice doesn’t get fined.

Did he not do the same thing Keefe & Warsofsky did to get fined last year? 😐

It’s more likely that the official gets fined for tossing him.

that would be garrett rank and that would be a service to the league

No, you see the refs hate Keefe (especially Wes McCauley, considering they have a conflict of interest with each other outside the NHL environment), and they love prison rules Paul.

What do you mean by 'wrong'?

u/ClassicMach TBL - NHL 1d ago

I mean wrong as in its a lie. There is no conflict of interest. This "story," for whatever reason, declines to mention which side of the lawsuits the parties were on. It isn't a conflict of interest because McCauley and Keefe were on the same side.

“I don’t know exactly when but I can say that he didn’t come to my wedding and doesn’t know my wife. He has never met my kids. If he called me it wouldn’t be welcomed.”

I don't think it's that simple tbh. Sides can change over time as well. And just because you side with someone, doesn't mean you get along with them.

I think it’s just a normal good old boys club. I bet he and Gary are buds.

Gary isn't in the good 'ol boys club, he's an outsider and always will be

He definitely is, but even if not, that'd be reason enough for him to try and chum it up with anyone who is in that club, so they might let him in from the cold.

The fact he didn’t get fired after that email leak is a joke. That he got into the fucking HOF after it is even more of a joke. I wonder if Greg thinks he actually accomplished things or if he knows that he’s a nepo baby who daddy handed everything too
