When you watch it .....did you watch Franzen as HE was skating? He clearly ruts his skate and gets bumped. it is not controllable where he goes from that point. you cannot call a infraction based on a falling player getting bumped. the correct call was made in that respect.... the Helm call..... UGH!!!!! I think the Ref needed glasses on that one! I guess Babcock had his "Hockey glasses" on.... saw it for what it was!

Even Babcock said it should not of been a penalty. He himself said "He toepicked and Doan hit him....No Penalty"

Just my little contribution....

I posted this in the "Creative " area of the forums.. I just wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see it (If they wanted to) I know not everybody looks in the Creative area of the forums on a regular basis (Mods/Admins- I am sorry) Enjoy! A look back and a good luck to our Red Wings!

I think this will be Round 1... good call!

Thank You - I hope we go into a decent run... I have some ideas and really would like to keep making these for the rounds of playoffs. I do wonder if there are any ideas for soundtrack? running low here.. Papa Roach - wanna be loved? what do you think?

From the past if anyone cares.. The round one video I made during last years playoffs.... BRING ON THE YOTES!! Same outcome I hope!

HEAVY, HEAVY Over your head... What are you going to do with it?!?!?!?!? Good Luck Dallas!

Did not get the memo.

Don't see how... IT counted.... so just because of a kicking motion on the puck it cannot deflect off the post and go in and count.... The rule states it cannot be kicked INTO the goal.... this case it was not! IF you think I am grasping here fine... but it was a kicking motion and should of been called no goal based on that alone! They may have thought the kicking motion was not toward the net...( Now I am Grasping ). if Hossa wanted it in I guess he could of punted it in with ease...he had 1/2 the cage!

Last time I checked the goal counted. if it actually crossed or not is irrelevant at this point. The kicking motion alone should of negated that goal IMHO. it never should of gotten to the point of "Did it cross" I have said it before.. They did NOT get it right...I am trying to see what they saw and trying to figure out what they called that on. There are alot of people here that HATE the Refs and the inconsistancy of the calls. understandably so. But is it possible that the people who made the rules, know the interpretations of them slightly better than the fan base of the NHL? THEY saw something that the rule(s)that allowed that goal. Its not ALWAYS "Stupid People". Although this instance is VERY hard to argue that point. I am not playing Devils advocate here as I have been accused of doing. I am guilty of trying to investigate the rules, interpretations and uses of those rules to try and figure out "What the F*%K they were thinking" that does not make me a advocate for the officials...It makes me a confused fan looking for some kind of logic in this.

We will see tonight. With Chicago on the bubble of sorts... Lets see what kind of crap happends.

Not saying it can, But I am not saying it can't. But you interpret the rule the same as I do. There is no stipulation saying it can't be deflected off the goal post or piece of lost equipment laying on the ice. The puck clearly was NOT kicked INTO the goal. It was kicked tho..... In some situations I wish the officials in all sports had to be held accountable for their actions to the fan base. Explain how, what, and why.

Or not kicked in either... say what you want I never said they got it right... Just trying to understand WHY it was called the way it was. that's all. It's obvious they are not gonna change the way they call it because WE say it was wrong. But I don't mind trying to see what they saw and understand it.. I don't understand this one... I am not gonna shed a tear over it either.... It's not like it never happened to us ( Bad Calls - Bad Reviews) Just trying to add to the conversation. I havent once said anyone else is WRONG or they are only blinded by rage...

Overruled. See I know that, But it says nothing of deflections off abandon equipment or the post of the net. .....That was my main point.

OK Agreed... ( I am not trying to be argumentative ...BUT) We know they maybe made a bad call.. they will never say WHY they called it that or why it was called this! So we may never know This is what I came up with..take it for what its worth, Ignore it..what ever you want. The puck was kicked yes..but it was not at the net. His kicking motion was off the post..which is not a shot on goal. SO..in keeping with that.... Nothing is definitive on the deflection off post or any equipment lying on the ice. Assuming the puck deflects off a discarded stick and goes in....It would be ruled a good goal. the same would be if it was deflected off the post of the goal. So Here is my ultimate and "who gives a crap" look at what I think the NHL was thinking. A) the puck was kicked but it was not at the goal, or it would of went in and NO GOAL would of been the call on the ice. B) the puck deflected off the post(s) and waffled in on edge with momentum going into the net... SO I guess that's why it was called good. The rule does not state that the "Last deliberate action on the puck must be......" So I am not convinced that the call should of been made by that alone. (Had it gone in direct off the skate- I agree no goal is the right call) They made the call based on interpretations of rules that they enforce. Beyond that.. I have no clue. Ill Finish this off so you don't have to say another word... something like this right?? LGW Nation Mr. Hockeytown? Hockeytownryan: Yes, sir? LGW Nation: That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection. Hockeytownryan: Thank you, sir. LGW Nation: Overruled.

I kinda see the puck waffling on edge near the far post....(behind Conklin) If it was on edge over the goal line that is a goal is it not? And if Hossa wanted to kick it in the net he had a ass-load of space.. was the kicking motion toward the net?

http://watch.tsn.ca/featured/clip445943#clip445943 Here is a good debate on TSN.. I think the puck was in.... But it was also kicked and should NOT of been called a goal just my .02 and please.. I am not looking to argue.

Hold on to this one... I see LOTS of photoshop potential here in a couple weeks!

See you guys Friday!

I had a trip planned to go down for this game. My cousin and his wife live there. But he got called away (Military). I guess we will have to wait for next season GO WINGS!
