More Kings clock issues uncovered

Tampering?

Fire the time keeper! Problem fixed!

I think the Senator from Ohio should demand a Congressional investigation :-)

Does the league provide the time keepers or is it the home team? If it was the home team it may become the league's responsibility soon.

I'd put Congressman Dennis Kucinich in charge of the investigation ... just for the hell of it. It'll make for some interesting TV moments.

It was always the home teams likew the goal judges I believe the League hires the goal judges now time to extend that to the rest of the off-ice crew

Hell, that investigation will be vastly more entertaining than watching the Blue Jackets play!

If the clock was known to be wrong, and the game shoul've been over, then declare it a tie! Do the right thing.

Appears to be the same timekeeper they have up at Michigan State University.

Only in Hollywood ..Time is running out for the Jackets GM ..

Ha! I remember that game. Homers rule the clock.

Added plus is that Mrs Kucinich is pretty hot...

On a note related to the issue-- some questions need to be answered before acting rashly:

1) Does this happen only at the end of third periods, or does it happen in the last few seconds of EVERY period?

2) If only during 3rd periods, does it happen when the Kings have possession in the opposition end?

3) Does it happen only during games that are tied or have the Kings trying to get a game-tying goal?

First thing to do would be give the Kings the benefit of the doubt, but immediately replace the clock to determine if it's a mechanical issue. However, if the answers to the above questions determine some foul play, the timekeeper should immediately be fired and the Kings put on "probation".

The curse of Davy Keon
The final straw after continually stating they are not going to retire numbers on November 22, 2008 they raise Wendel Clarks 17 to the rafters yet the guy who brought him their last cup (Conn Smythe Trophy winner ) #14 is still issued to players

Good point! Not a Leaf fan, but Keon & the Leafs need closure.
