Calling it like it is with former NHL Ref: ESPN’s Dave Jackson
About the Episode
We pride ourselves at PP1 with the guests we get and this week’s show is no different. Dave Jackson, he of over 1500 NHL games officiated, joined Ryan to chat hockey and reffing the game.
From the All Star Game and just the celebration of stars to maintaining a standard of calls throughout the season, there was a lot to unpack.
How do the playoffs get called compared to the regular season? Who had the best chirps?
Does the league have it out for the Canucks (they don’t and Dave explains).
And the big question “Why is the high sticking double minor the worst call in hockey?”
Dave was quite generous with his time and a phenomenal guest to chat with. Watch him during the playoffs on ESPN and likely in Canada as well.
