Its not like you are buffalo vs the Stars with Brett Hull in the crease. Its one game. In a seven game series. The series is 2-1 and you are already blamming the refs for loosing the series. If Det is the better team they will take game 4 and the series.

As for would I complain if it was reversed? No. I dont like either team. I just dislike the wings more. Its a lesser of two evils for me.


You want to complain about the refing?
The ref was behind the net. Arm chair this one for me. Where would you have stood as the ref? You cantgo to the front, you cant be just behind untill the puck comes to the front of the net as he would be in the play. As soon as the play moves from the back the ref moves as quickly as he can to the rear of the net.

How come your not complaining about the refs not calling the elbow to the head by holmstrom on Wisniewski? Niedermyer took a hooking penalty just after that elbow. Possibly related. The Wings scorred on that PP. Amazing how looking at a game from one side you can miss something like this. A non call on the elbow to the head, a subsequent hook within seconds. The PP gets the Wings first and only goal. I will give you the blown goal if you give me back the PP which should have not occurred do to a missed call. Looks like the Refs blew one in your favor their. Will just ignore that one though.

Its the game man, teams get breaks for and against them all game. OO and I agree no hard feelings at all. I am laughing cause I love shaking Wings fans trees.

Seems to me that if this had happened to the Sharks your view just might be different.

That aside, you are correct that one call a series does not make. Detroit has to score plain and simple. You can outplay someone all day and still lose. Whistle's go back and forth. The only thing that counts is the final score.

I'm just hoping that this gets the Wings to play a full game like they have at the ends of games 2 & 3. If they do that odds on they will still win the series. But that remains to be seen.

That's my anyway.

Damn, the B's are breaking down giving up two goals in a minute nine

'Canes win 3-2 in OT

B's played a bad game turning over the puck to many times coming out of there own zone.
