The scorekeepers have had multiple error instances and yet they still keep their jobs. Seriously what happened to being liable on the job. Can someone explain this to me. I'm really confused why they still have their jobs.

The scorer's table doesn't start the clock. The refs have little clicker things that they press to start to the clock. Yes the time keeper has the ability to start the clock, but on close plays like that the refs start the clock.

They aren't going to listen. Its their only argument they seem to want to stick to because if the refs were the ones who did it they know they have no chance at a redo. I've never seen so much whining in my life.

In that case you must've bribed the Refs. Well have fun getting swept by the C's.
The refs aren't allowed to be wrong on their own? I know there was a game earlier in the year where a team got screwed on a call at the end of the game about a basket being counted, I am fuzzy on the details but I believe it was Orlando that got screwed and I don't remember this much of a fuss.

Several reasons for that.
1. Toronto-Atlanta has bad blood.
2. Everyone is quick to blame the score keepers/time keepers for every hawks mistake, even if it isn't their fault, due to the past.
3. Toronto fans on realgm number in the millions, thus they will have more trolls who come over and post random stuff saying how we suck and so forth.

i'm sorry next time i'm late for work 2 days in a row ill ask my manager not to consider my past because well you said so... i'm sure that'll work out fine... the scorekeepers are supposed to be a neutral third party whose sole job is to maintain the integrity of the game and they failed to do so... also had this been the first time i don't think there would've been as big of an uproar as this situation sparked... but its pretty ignorant for you to say something of that we should just ignore the past...
edit: took out a trollworthy comment
