This week on Chirping Zebras, Josh Dolan, Mark Riley, and Geno Binda Jr. get into a fast-paced, unfiltered conversation about all things hockey — from the pressure cooker of playoff officiating to the ripple effect of injuries, bad bounces, and bold coaching calls. The crew dives into the evolution of reffing, the emotional weight of on-ice decisions, and how movement and positioning have changed over the years. They touch on the highs and lows of being in the crosshairs as a ref, plus what fans (and media) still get wrong about officiating. Along the way, the guys explore the impact of leadership in the locker room, the risk-reward of draft picks, and how entitlement and negativity are creeping into youth and pro sports. As always, they bring it all back to the love of the game — mixing in personal stories, quick chirps, and a few laughs about future plans and behind-the-scenes moments. Whether you’re in the stands, behind the bench, or wearing the stripes — this one hits every corner of the rink.
