Apparently when the goalie covers the puck, you can just run into him and kick the puck out from under his glove. And if you punch a guy in the face but leave your glove on, he gets the penalty. And if you stand at the top of the crease and the goalie can't see around you, the goal doesn't count. That officiating in that game was pathetic.
I finally got a good chance to see the Wings yesterday, I've only had the chance to see maybe 5 games total. I agree with everyone who said/wrote that it was very close to playoff hockey...well except for the reffing. I'd like to think that it was more a regular season type ref job and some big mistakes. I don't think we'd see the game called like that in the playoffs.
Good game too. An intense hockey game is just so great to see.
I agree, that was terrible. The penalty call on Samuelsson was horrible. Call matching roughing calls. The Ducks player did far more than him and didn't get called. They also could have called a 2nd minor on Selanne when he had a delayed call and then broke Pavel's stick when they were pulling Ozzie and still had the puck.Quote:

I still can't believe Selanne didn't get a second penalty for that. That's a pretty hardcore slash when you snap the opposing players stick in half. I actually was on the phone with a buddy for the entire second intermission bitching about the refs. He's about as hardcore of a wings fan as I know and he was livid.
Wings on NBC at 3:30. Time to get things back on track.
I take full responsibility for this slide. Everytime I make a thread about them, this happens.
During the playoffs, I will make 5-6 hate threads per series.
Damn, I thought yopu meant the old sitcom.Quote:

No joking. They'll easily make it to the playoffs, where they'll once again become the hot wings.
I like it, but I wouldn't want the Wings to relocate. So I'd rather change Detroit's name to Buffalo.
Detroit sucks anyways. Fucking French.
The jinx that MoTown put on the Wings with this thread now appears to be over.
