Sevumar 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 would of been awsome to of seen that game go into OT. I agree. I'm not saying the Wings would've won it for sure, but I wanted to see them get the 1 point they earned and fight it out for the second. I still can't believe how many people are posting at this point. I left to fold my laundry, came back, and there were 3 or 4 more pages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 For those of you who claimed that was the right call. What about the Kunitz play. Osgood had the puck covered up in the crease, and Kunitz dug it out with his stick and play continued. I have no doubt that if the roles were reversed, that play would have been called dead. I'm not saying that should have been an interference call, but play should have definitely stopped. This is why I don't want to play the Ducks in the playoffs. Not because I don't think we can beat THEM - I know we can beat the Ducks in a seven-game series. I just don't think we can beat THE REFS in a seven-game series against the Ducks. This kind of blatant rule-breaking bulls*** (interfering with our tender, 7 men on the ice leading to a goal, rampant interference on our guys, etc.) has happened FAR TOO OFTEN when we play the Ducks for it to be coincidence. The last time I was this fed up with the league? Last postseason against the Ducks. No coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, like when Giguere tripped the hell out of Franzen in front of the net in the first and there was no call whatsoever. Seems like that balanced out. Mind you, I didn't even watch the third (as I said, too disgusted), but considering the lack of legitimate should-have-been-obvious calls made against the Ducks. Besides, you can guarantee that the refs would have found any other way to disqualify a PP goal there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 yeah, it really doesn't make sense that the goal was disallowed and homer wasn't given a penalty. it seems to me that if homer, in the opinion of the ref, was interfering with the goalie, he should have given him a minor penalty. you have to wonder if the ref would have called interference on homer if, say, the shot went wide of the net. no chance. and to me, that says that if the "infraction" wasn't enough to warrent a minor penalty, it shouldn't have canceled out the goal. i hope i'm making sense. it just seems like there are often times when players are marginally in the crease (half of his skates and his ass) and the refs let it go. yeah, if you skate in and bowl the goalie over clearly that's a call. this just typifies the "holmstrom effect:" if it was any other player, i highly doubt that the goal would have been dissallowed. i'm not subscribing to any conspiracy theories, but homer obviously has a reputation. to me, you can't really argue that the refs should be fined or fired. yeah, it was a bad call. but just the fact that it could even be described as marginal (homer DID have skates and body in the crease) means that the refs won't get reprimanded. if homer was completely outside the crease and contact was definitively not made, that would be one thing. but that's not the case. still, i'm glad i didn't get to watch the game today...watching the video was enough to get my blood boiling. i'd probably have to buy a new TV if i'd been able to watch it. count your blessings, i guess.

esteef 2,679 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Yes the Wings lost, and I may be in the minority here but I don't feel so bad. The Wings had a lot of good scoring chances of which Giguerre just came up big, everybody (non-fighters included!) pushed back after the whistle, and Downey took Parros down. Yeah the Ducks got a call there at the end that should've tied it but the Wings without Cleary, Kronwall, or a deadline pickup (or McCarty!), physically stood up to Anaheim (was May even playing?). Kopecky is looking better every game as well! A loss yes, but a nice showing against a tough team! Cheers! esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim3033 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Babcock throws red flag Babcock: Oops, I missed. I guess this is the only redemption we get. The game was scattered with a few questionable calls all towards Detroit. I got over the first one, but they kept making the same 'mistakes.' And in defense of that last call. Giggy initiated contact with Homer to tell him he was in his way as the puck was in the screen. Not enough time to use that rule. Plus no penalty was called. I dislike lawyers!!!

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 f*** Giguere. Anyways, it's actually good to be in this mini slump. It'll show the Wings that despite the best record in the NHL, they still need help and still need to work hard everygame. Plus, without Kronwall and Cleary, we'll be losing alot more then we're used to this season. Thats just how it is. But how fucing awesome was it to see Downey, Mr. No Talent Enforcer, take down Parros and get the W. 2 very good games in a row for Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 HOLD IT. I missed the game. What the hell happened? Simply put...refs disallowed a goal on another phantom Homer interference call, a goal that would have tied up the game. Ref was on the wrong side of the net to make the call and the puck was in the net well before Giguere made contact with Homer (not the other way around). Meanwhile, in the 2nd period, Chris Kunitz (who should have been in the box for roughing at the time anyway) interfered with Osgood, stripping away a frozen puck, leading to a Ducks goal. Just business as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
