Hockeytown Red Wings

I always thought Mike Modano would end up with the Wings someday. Of course that was 10 years ago...but I don't hate it...yet.

I wrote this guy last year when he assured everyone that Steve Mason was gonna wipe the floor with Chris Osgood in the series. Outside of Game 4, Ozzie dominated the BJ's.

Get better soon, this site needs it's Godfather.

The Wings may not have played their best game, but they were certainly good enough to win both. If you operate under the assumption that the Wings didn't deserve to win last night because of faceoffs, then you might be right. But that assumption means the Wings only to deserve to win a game in which they played perfectly. Maybe "deserve" isn't the right word, but for awhile there I thought we might actually win. I thought there was no way the calls in the third were going to continue being phantom bulls***. I was wrong for the most part. Sure, the Wings did commit some of those penalties they were called for. Not every call was wrong. But the fact that many of those calls came when the Sharks were already on the PP, and many of which were embellished. I.E. Dan Boyle looking like he got swept away in a flood when Flip's stick lightly pushes his leg. A game they called so "tightly", also allowed the Sharks to wrestle Bertuzzi, Homer, Cleary, and any other Wing standing in front of the net without the puck. Watson and whoever the other ref was should be made to issue a public apology to Mr. and Mrs. I.

I have never been so outraged at the incompetency of NHL officiating, and I've seen some doozies. Bertuzzi was absolutely prison-sexed by the officials....I can't even think straight. It's one thing if we had just lost the game, but a game we were winning was basically awarded to the Sharks. It'd be another thing if they were getting called for terrible penalties that actually gave us a PP or 5 on 3. I can't blame the Wings for a loss last night. I just can't. It's impossible to get any momentum or chemistry going when you're constantly killing off some bulls*** penalty. If this game had been against the Penguins, I'd be convinced that it was rigged. As it is, at the least it's pure incompetency. The Wings are going to take this series (assuming the rest of the series isn't rigged) just because I can't imagine how angry and frustrated they must be. I can only hope that this injustice lights a fire under the Wings to destroy any and all that faces them.

Just to let you know ahead of time, Versus claims coverage of Game 3. What they are actually covering is the last 20 minutes of regulation. This is because they are also covering the Penguins game which starts at 7pm and won't be switching coverage to the Wings until the Pens game is complete (approx. 9:30). Make plans accordingly. For those lucky enough to have FS-Detroit or could afford Center Ice this season, move along.

I should have said "NO CANADIENS ALLOWED!" Is it Canadian or Canadien? I can never keep it straight. RONSOLO, last night was the only VS exclusive game, I THINK. Center Ice should have the game on at the least, even if it is the Sharks feed. It should always be the Wings feed when possible.

We've had VS HD forever now on Time Warner. What poor cable system you got?

Go Bayern!

Game series Habs...

Because someone has an axe to grind apparently. I evened it out for him.

PP coming up....INTENSE!

Not over yet...I predicted OT at the 9 minute mark with Washington scoring with under 2 minutes left... Hold for genius mode...

2-0 Habs! Holy s***....

Off the post! Caps holding on... By the way, I really like Sam Rosen. Hell, they'll be the top seed left. Home ice.

Is that a racial comment? Notice I didn't say racist.

Got a feeling this is gonna be a fantastic 9 minutes....and we're probably headed to OT. Caps score in the last 2 minutes...

Of all the French in this thread, what you said just confused me the most. Under review, could be a goal yet. No goal. No penalty.

Most definitely.

Wow...I wonder how thatll change things

I thought FSD did games until the Conference Finals. Pretty sure unless something changed.

Something about using a translator.

Filppula's goal in Game 2 08 SCF was more of a legit flying goal than Bobby Orr's. Just sayin.

Because constantly being out of position in an attempt to cherry pick goals is the essense of a defenseman.

OMGZ BIAS! YOU"RE JUST JEALOUS....OVECHKIN>>>>>CROSBY! ...only kidding.
