    For what it's worth, I don't feel that the problem lies in the refereeing, but more at the NHL level. I think the organization, for the past few years, has made a conscious effort to inform their refs that come playoff time, extra effort should be spent on 'getting it right'. I really think this has backfired and made refs hyper-critical over the past few playoffs. The microscopes come out, with good intentions, and everything gets magnified until it no longer makes sense. This year was no exception, and you can even add faceoffs to the debacle.

    This is my take on it, from the persepective of a pre-lockout-purist-snob

    i was at that game last night, and even from the far side of the ice, in the nosebleeds, you could tell that was a dirty hit. it was actually scary seeing seabrook go down like that.

    that said, 1-2 games max for wisnewski. nhl is just posturing over the GM's meeting

    he got a VERY raw deal here and I honestly believe that had we never gave up on him and brought in an at-the-time-hurt Dom, he would have won his cup...

    His team did not give him the goal support he deserved in 2004 and he got hosed... a goalie should NEVER lose a series with those numbers...

    04 playoffs: SV% - .939 GAA - 1.39

    how the hell does that lose?!??

    by giving up open ice slappers from the blue line in playoff games....to the mighty sucks in 03. i carry around a lot of hurt to this day from watching those four games. he was far less than stellar when it counted. i say good riddance

    for the last couple years, it's been my observation that's he's always the hardest working player in any game he's in. absolutely does not give up on plays. hustles his ass off. forechecks like nobody's business. crashes the net, shoots.....the list just goes on and on

    hats off to flips since he's returned too. he's been working really hard

    this was one of the most boring, crappy games i've ever seen. wings play two periods of completely uninspired hockey. even the fights sucked, and included the ducks going straight to their backs almost every time.

    god awful

    on the upside, i was finally able to go to the honda center, and be treated well as a wings fan. nobody told me how much detroit sucked, probably becuase they were aware anaheim is in last place

    but seriously, terrible terrible game. datsuyk's hands sucked, and when his stickhandling didn't suck, he was losing the edge on his skate. the only inspired play i saw for the wings tonight is.....you guessed it.....the only guy who plays every night....helm

    i take it back a little bit, flip had some great hustle and stickhandling moments. glad to see him back and contributing already after his rehab.

    LA and SJ have to be better than this

    I've read about that online, but I have also heard that might be bad. Dont wanna ruin the new skates lol. I may try the hair dryer trick though

    also, a lot of the rinks by me use that CCM/bladder machine. the shop will bake the skates, have you put them on, and then put them in a machine that inflates air bladders around your foot so that they mold to the shape of your foot as they cool
