John Murphy

[Greg Berge]

This is sports, kids.  Intruding into the real life of these people is totally unacceptable.  Also, it's actionable.

thanks greg, you've saved us from ourselves yet again ... the voice of reason has spoken.

Greg Berge ('85) please get a life. Serioulsy, Murphy is a horrible official and if we want we should write to the ECAC and pursue any legal course of action we can to get him fired. He deserves it. And you deserve to go 15 minutes without posting to this board. Why don't you try making another website outlining how much of your time is spent devoted to ECAC hockey. Now that'd be constructive. After all it is just sports, we have real lives outside of this, or at least we're supposed to.

[Ben Rocky '04]

Thanks for reminding us, dad.

greg berge -- you really need to get the stick out of your butthole. i know of a great dr. in ithaca who specializes in removing things like this. he's a toolologist

We relieve stress by following sports.  Relieving stress by stalking refs or getting them fired is what it is - illegal.  There have been enough hitting and beatings of refs in the news that we shouldn't encourage it.  No matter what a ref does - somebody thinks it's wrong, kind of like whatever you say, somebody thinks it's wrong.

is he going to be the ref tonight too? that will make me sad...

[.m.o.o.n.l.i.g.h.t.d.a.n.c.i.n.g.]

You guys need to grow up.. Murphy is Murphy, but he didn't send too many men on the ice!!

Gee, do myou think Murphy reaqds these posts.  Gee, if he's as bad as we think he is, could he get back at us in anyway.. oh yeah.. reffing tonight's game.. let's make sure he could, not sayhing he will, but could read what some of you are saying about him.. Just like chanting season over when you got a game to play.. some people need to get a brain.

or jingling their keys when there is 4+ minutes to go...

but, if there is 2 things being a cornell fan has taught me, be nervous about OT, and disallowed/allowed goals are a pain.. especially with instant replay

Folks,

Unless you have years of playing and reffing under your belt,  suggest not screaming too much about the official no matter who they are and how bad the calls...  It's a waste of energy  - - use the energy to cheer on the team -  to positive effect.    

Remember reffing any competitive level of hockey, the ref has to make a minimum of 170 + decisions in fractions of a second and do this while positioning himself correctly on the ice (with out any rest or substitiution through-out the game).     I have done both and been booed and been congratualted but the game that is my best is the one where no one says a lot then I have been OK but not visible either way and the players have played the game!   Murphy has made calls I didn't understand from where I sit in section N -  but his angle on the ice is a different point of view.    

And yes I jump up and boo when I don't agree with a call ...  I'm human  and so are the guys in the stripes;  but then I  cool off and try to cheer on the Big Red.  

Last night I watched Murphy instruct his linesman part way through the game in a quick mini-conference and then shortly after that  the linesman wound up whistling several penalties behind the play....   This was a good move by the officiating team.  

Lets take real POSITIVE energy into the Lynah tonight and make the rafters shake with our noise and energy for the BIG RED!   :-)
