This top agent took to X.com to share his displeasure with NHL officiating, calling out Gary Bettman directly in the process.

Allan Walsh Calls Out Bettman and NHL Referees

Allan Walsh took to X.com to explode on the NHL and its referees in a few different posts late last night. He thinks that the NHL's refereeing is terrible and that they need to be called out for it.

NHL officiatingman oh man. Incompetent or intentional?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

He followed up on this post by calling out Gary Bettman directly, saying that while he can silence coaches and GMs, he can't silence agents.

Gary Bettman summoned all 32 GM's/Head Coaches to a meeting in Chicago this year just before training camp and sternly warned coaches against any public comments criticizing officials.

Too bad Gary can't control what agents say.

NHL officiating is a smoking pile of HOT GARBAGE!

Officiating Getting Roasted From Everyone Not Just Walsh

Walsh isn't the first person to call out the officiating in the NHL this year. While it is normal for people to be upset at the refs, it seems that this year there is a consensus that the officiating has gotten determinately worse. Even more, many have called out the NHL's response to having bad officiating.

never forget the nhl's response to its shitty officiating was telling coaches to stop criticizing its shitty officials

Not even the right call, if this were in fact a penalty.

NHL officiating is just dismal right now.

It's unlikely that there will be a response from the NHL, as it is well known for protecting its Officials.
