Lidstromrules16 7 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah- f*** I'm pissed. Zetterberg went from hat-trick to one goal in a dive and swoop of NHL.com's pen. Damn that pisses me off. Z clearly tipped that shot from Rafalski- the puck jumped off his stick. I really hope the NHL fixes this. The duck guys are saying it went off of getzlaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Why the f*** do the ducks always go for our stars? Do they know what the word "class" means? God I hate this team... Well gooning it up on the other team's 4th liners is probably pretty ineffective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Red Wings have spent 20 minutes in the box. Ducks have spent 16 minutes. Something is not right here. Can referees have their license revoked? If not then I propose this bunch to be the first. 36 minutes of penalties in 40 minutes of the game. That's ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Who was doing that interview, Loo? I don't know if you CI-subscribers get FSN feeds or an entirely different set of Center Ice announcers. I'm coming here between intermissions, but I hope it wasn't Keating asking that dumbass question. Actually, I do.. because then it'd mean there's one less idiot out there. They would have. The Wings could easily be up like.. 6-3 now though. Zetter almost had the hat trick, then he almost got Cleary a goal (should've deked, he had Bryz), then that goal. I am sorry, Flip, I don't know who it was... I think it was a Duck announcer, but I wasn't really paying attention to him -- I was examining Hank's face for damage from the butt end of the Yuck's stick.

Lidstromrules16 7 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I'd have to see a replay, but I think it might have been carelessness out of the faceoff more than intent to give Hank a chinshot with the buttend. Then again it might have just been an ******* cheapshot. Chris Pronger doesnt take faceoffs, so chances are it was an accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyukian Geek 2 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 As a fan of the National Hockey League, not of the Detroit Red Wings, I must vent here for a second. This isn't even hockey anymore. I'm not just complaining about the calls on the Wings. I'm complaining about all of it. I don't like the rules, I don't like the way they are interpreted and I don't like what the NHL product has become. You get a game with two great teams featuring a number of some of the brightest young stars in the league (Zetterberg, Getzlaf, Datsyuk, Perry, etc.) and it's reduced to nothing more than a penalty-filled mess of a game. Who enjoys this? I certainly don't. The players certainly don't. The coaches certainly don't. Who exactly is this benefiting? The NHL will not catch on with the average Joe Schmo sports fan because of finesse and puck-handling. It will catch on because of physicality and toughness. That is what sets hockey apart. That is why I love it. But this crap? I'm embarrassed to watch it. Oh, and Go Wings. Beat the Ducks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flip-check 6 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 36 minutes of penalties in 40 minutes of the game. That's ridiculous. That's what I was saying watching the game. It's about a period per team. Who is refereeing tonight? NHL.com isn't listing any of the refs/linesmen's names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again it might have just been an ******* cheapshot. It was Niedermayer who did it. So yeah, it was an ******* cheapshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 They definitely should reprimand these guys. It's just penalty after penalty.. f***... ugh... I am sorry, Flip, I don't know who it was... I think it was a Duck announcer, but I wasn't really paying attention to him -- I was examining Hank's face for damage from the butt end of the Yuck's stick. Hank's still pretty as ever, don't you ladies worry. Actually I like seeing someone piss Zetter off. Watching him track Niedermayer into our corner and hit him, then swipe him with an elbow to the back was nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viperar 16 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 even when the refs arent calling penalties, that was not offside the player had a skate on the blue line which means no offside these refs need to leave drapes has been our hardest hitter this game lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Hudler's only played 4 minutes? I take it he's back in Babcock's doghouse... Good. He was doing nothing tonight, and was getting knocked all over the ice. I knew it wouldnt take long for Babs to start his dislike for Hudler again, almost as predictable as ZDH reuniting.
