The Tim Peel "summit" apparently had a casualty: Tim Peel.The NHL indefinitelysuspended Peel, an official since 1999 and more recently an object of scorn over a series Andrew Heaney Jersey of high-profile blown calls, for at a New York bar, . Wyshynski, Peel's loudest critic,wrote a nicepiece that ran on the website, focusing on Peel's side of the story andwhat it's like to speak, face-to-face, with someone you rip as part of your job.MORE: | | The 98.5 report, which was in French, seemed to focus on the fact that the 90-minutemeeting occured at Foley's pub in Manhattan last Thursday. Peel was scheduled to workthe next day and photographed with a shot in his hand.It's also worth noting that the report said that Peel was suspended indefinitely;on Friday, he Anthony Rendon Jersey mi sedPenguins-Devils, then worked a Rangers-Hurricanes game on Saturday . So if he was suspended, it was for one game.(The report also referred to Wyshynski as a fan, rather than a journalist, and failed to name him or Puck Daddy, which is ridiculous, but another i sue entirely.)Another po sible reason for Peel's suspension, though, would haveto be the manner in which he discu sed two blown calls. The first was a diving call on Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen earlier this season. From Wyshynski:But Peel knows it was a bad call, to the point where he skated up to the Justin Bour Jersey Ducks bench and apologized the next time he officiated an Anaheim game. So why make it? Well, because the NHL wanted a crackdown on diving, and with that mandate, he felt compelled to make that call.The second was a four-minute roughing/holding call on Alex Ovechkin in the Capitals-Penguins game the night before the meeting:Peel admits it was a call he wouldnt have made Rod Carew Jersey in a 1-1 game, and wouldnt have made without knowing that the NHL wants this penalty for the sake of "game management," in order to ensure a 4-0 game between two rivals doesnt get out of hand. Peel said he went over to Barry Trotz after the call, explained it, and the coach, having seen this episode before, said Kole Calhoun Jersey he understood.That's great, illuminating stuff. It's also not the sort of candor you'd expect out of a ref. Given that the league doesn't allow officials to speak with the media at all, italso wouldn't be a surprise to see them react this way over inside info on "crackdowns" and the adverse effect they can have on games.A shame, yes, but a surprise no.Still, the irony of the situation is unavoidable; Peel's mistakesdidn't publicly gethim in trouble. Talking about them apparently has.
