'It wasn't much but I wanted to get a fuckin' penalty against Nashville early in the…' #Preds #LGRW /6fZImkdqLr Maybe if you're a mic'd up ref, you shouldn't express how you wanted to call a penalty against a team earlier in the game, changing how you ref the rest of the game.

Peel admitted that the trip “wasn’t much” but that he “wanted to get a f***ing penalty against Nashville.” With about 12:42 remaining, the Predators broadcast captured Peel discussing a minor penalty he called on Viktor Arvidsson with fellow official Kelly Sutherland.

There is no justification for his comments, no matter the context or his intention, and the National Hockey League will take any and all steps necessary to protect the integrity of our game.” “Tim Peel’s conduct is in direct contradiction to the adherence to that cornerstone principle that we demand of our officials and that our fans, players, coaches, and all those associated with our game expect and deserve. “Nothing is more important than ensuring the integrity of our game,” Campbell said. National Hockey League Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell announced today that Referee Tim Peel, following his comments during the game last night between the Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators, no longer will be working NHL games now or in the future.
