I don't know about that. I think they are just incompetent, with a touch of underdogitis.

There sure are a lot of Wings signing long-term contracts to play for a coach that is so hard to get along with.

That's the key. No call initially, and interference is always called as it happens. The Major wouldn't be called without the interference call.

My bad.

Source By calling the hit "Interference" the 56.4 Major Penalty rule gives the ref, or linesman, quite a wide degree of discretion. They had to dig deep for that one. It was not interference pure and simple. Puck was there. Has anyone here ever seen a hit like that called interference?

Naw, they'll be back on the bandwagon by then.

At least it was quick.

The table is set.

I am so happy that we are in the position we're in. Hardly anyone thought we had a ghost of a chance 1 min. into the second. I'm real calm right now. Let's finish the story boys.

I think this team has a lot more character then any of us could imagine. As I said earlier, Epic. Win or lose, the Hawks are going to be wondering how they can ever beat this team in a seven game series. WOW! I'm overwhelmed.

Epic, My God!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, it's not over, Big goal!!

I take back any nice things that I may have said about O'Hallaran. What could he possbily have been looking at? I can see missing a call, but calling something that never occured? Especially with such severe consequences. Unbelievable!

OMG, this looks terrible. Franzen to the box.

I was waiting for George Jetson to fly into the picture in his car.

Kieffer is baaack!

I disike Dastardly Dan as much as anyone but he was a non-factor in his last two Wings games. I believe they were both wins too.

That there Logic fella must be a total idiot. Datsyuk is so formidable his mere presence in the building will intimidate the Hawks.

Abe is credited with it here: http://www.quoteworld.org/authors/abraham-lincoln Who knows? It probably wouldn't have been above him to steal it from someone else.

This is, without a doubt, the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. *I don't get out much.

My thoughts exactly. Chelios would not be here if he had to put up with that kind of s*** all the time. Except from opposing fans. He loves that!

I like. ^^^

No Elite Goaltending Left In The 2009 Playoffs The title fails bigtime all by itself. Nope, no reason to read on here.

Hope it heals quickly. There is probably no better time for this to happen then at this point in the series. Datsyuk being out will give those that are critical of him an idea of his importance to the team whether he puts up points, or not. As Shoreline observed in a previous post he will be missed on both ends of the ice. Pavel tried to make a move along the boards late in the last game. He was unable to and had the puck taken away by Campbell, I believe. I had never seen that happen before. I thought, at the time, it may have been an injury to his hip.

That's true. Compared to the regular season Ozzie has been playing at a surprisingly fantastic level. However, in comparison to all remaining goalies he leads in, arguably, most of the important statistics. Wins-10 Loses-3 GA-28 GAA-2.04 Save percentage is .925, second only to Cam Ward at .926. Edited for Source IF we were to win the cup Ozzie would get my vote for the Conn Smyth at this point.
