50/50 then see who's better. Also none of this not playing osgood for a whole month at a time. That's insane and never gives him a shot to rebound.

Sharks won't win because unless the Ref's hand them 3 games again.

The NHL is going to turn into the NBA in a few years. Like 2 or 3. The officiating is terrible. Like someone said earlier, when a beer league hockey team has better officiating then the NHL, you know there's a problem. I don't think there's a grand conspiracy against the Wings, I think the refs are just god damn terrible. They miss blatant stuff, call stuff that isn't there, don't call penalties that are supposed to be automatic (knee to knee anyone?), and to top it all off, are protected like they are god's prophets to hockey. The problem will never be fixed until the league buckles down and calls out the bad refs and allows them to be called out by the players/organizations. I mean really, a 10k fine for saying the Ref's sucked? That's insane, and maybe unconstitutional. The NHL is in a downward spiral into the joke of a league the NBA is, where you will not win unless you have a superstar, let alone get any fouls called for you. Besides the fact it's always the same 3 or 4 teams vying for the top, everyone else isn't competition at all. Maybe it's this way because the NHL thought picking up a former NBA commissioner (who resigned in point-fixing and reffing scandal) to be their commissioner? I don't mean to rant, but the reffing this series really disgusted me. I came close to not even watching game 3 just because I was so upset. Why would I want to watch a game where my team doesn't have a fair chance to win? I'm definitely not watching any other games this year. The Refs aren't supposed to decide games ever. They are supposed to make sure one team doesn't cheat and that the game is fair.

Nothing will change because the league refuses to even think that the reffing might be the slightest bit off. Instead they protect the refs like they are the prophets of god. The League doesn't care, and it's starting to become clear the NHL is going to turn into the NBA in a few years.

oh god no please god no no no no no no

I believe

I'm not satisfied at all. The better team hasn't won in this series, and real hockey hasn't been played yet. Games 1 and 2 were won by the Refs, and game 3 ended in an a moment of amazing luck. How can anyone be satisfied by this?

Boyle has a new toy to help him know which net to score on

Anyone seen this movie?

Just in time for friday!

Score on this Powerplay lets go!

Just got home with 24 minutes to spare Time to rock!

first attempt of the year, what do you think?

Thanks Wings for another great season. And GG Bettman you got what you wanted. Maybe next year we can finally have some unbaised advertising and officiating?

No, I hate Pittsburgh worse. Anaheim is a good team, Pittsburgh is an ok team that gets a lot of outside help. I still feel they shouldn't have even made the third round. How can the refs go an ENTIRE GAME without calling a single penalty?

That's why the instigator at the end of a game is SUPPOSED to be an automatic suspension. To prevent these things. It's a pity that the NHL is so blinded by favoritism they forgot this. And yeah I bet if it were a Wing that did it, they would have been suspended in a heart beat.

Hmmm Sidney Crosby is the "face of the NHL" right? Then how come the NHL is dying off faster then the polar ice caps? Maybe there's a correlation between marketing a whiny cheapshotting crybaby and the sport becoming less popular?

If they saw a constant stream of Pronger commercials too, they would all be Pronger fans...

Uhh, that's a terrible example. First of all, the NFL markets many MANY people, not just one. Which is a major reason why it's so successful. Second, Peyton is actually mature and well respected around the league, unlike Mr. Crosby who was voted whiniest player by the other NHL players...

Win it so I can party damnit Also win it so I don't feel like stabbing myself all day saturday, or all damn offseason when I see those damn penguin win the cup commercials.

Look at him. You can't deny he looks like a nerd or a high school science teacher or something, not an NHL coach.

I will give credit to the coach. He sure doesn't look like a true coach, but he does know his s***.

It all comes down to this. Everything we've worked so hard for. Doesn't get much more dramatic than this. Do or die. Play with everything you got Wings, we're rooting for you.
