Really makes you wonder about things and how games may not be fixed, but how refs may be given direction.
I've been following that whole saga from its release, definitely not good form on Coli's part. To me its a emotional email that should never have been sent, but I don't think that he was actually trying to "direct a ref".

I don't know Coli personally but from the sounds of major people in the media he is a stand up guy. The media could have really run with the story and lambasted him, but most of them acknowledged that the e-mails were dumb but did not question his integrity. Most of the top figures in hockey reverberated the above.

That being said from a total fan perspective it is hard to trust Coli and weather he his making decisions without bias. The NHL obviously has tried to make this a non-story but the public has been pretty critical about the situation. Campbell isn't really helping the situation out as he vehemently disagrees that he should apologize to all involved.

I am kinda of siding with those people wanting an apology. Colin Campbell really has no business talking about his son, in that way with the head of officiating. Once thing is forsure Campbell did learn a valuable lesson about the privacy of emails.
