Flames lost to the Rangers. Was that the officials fault too?

How can that be? They aren't playing the Wings, and as we all know, the NHL loves the Wings.

Wasn't there an instance of something similar to that happening not too long ago?

Pretty much.

I was at the Minnesota game on Friday, it was packed.

Basically, this is the exact opposite of the Brad May situation. In that instance, the puck enters the goal, the whistle blows, and it's ruled no goal. In Pittsburgh, the whistle blew, then the puck entered the goal, and it's ruled good goal. Odd how that works.

Not a huge deal, IMO. I'd be upset if they took away the annual New Years Eve game, however.

I haven't read that one. I've been getting high off of the CalgaryPuck threads.

I would have. The person below me has Thanksgiving plans.

Knee. Nose or ears

Not really. Most of us are able to look through our Red Wings colored glasses and recognize a penalty when there is one.

But I thought the NHL loved the Red Wings. After all, that's the only explanation as to why they're so consistently good.

It shouldn't matter if the score was 8-0. The puck clearly crossed the line after the whistle was blown. That means no goal. I have no clue why that goal was awarded. Only thing left to do is to get out the tin foil hats.

Good news. Oh, Danny Boy

I love how all the Flame fans are complaining about these calls, when they're about as legit as it gets. Stajan's bear-hug of Filppula and then Bouwmeester's interference of Kader when he didn't have the puck are penalties - no doubt. I could easily imagine that if Detroit players did the exact same thing to Calgary and WEREN'T called, CalgaryPuck would explode.

I leave for Kansas City tomorrow

It was okay. The person below me likes homemade macaroni and cheese.

Eat out. Fast food or sit down restaraunt

Can't say I've ever done that before.

Detroit's puck possession style leads to more penalties being taken by the other team.

CLASSIC Lions.

Do not like. Game recap now in OP.
