imisssergei 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Does it bother anyone else that the Wings have had some problems late in games when they have the lead? I don't know if it's the Wings just thinking the opposition is going to give up, or maybe they just don't care. But the way they have been playing isn't too comforting going into the playoffs.

Copenhagen848 58 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Ridiculous....but that P.O.S. ref didn't help either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 It was obvious that we were slipping away, but Dan O'Halloran giving Nashville two bogus power players (both of which they scored on) didn't help anything at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 I dont think we'll have to deal with s***ty refs in most games down the strech, but still. They have to keep going, theres winning and then theres barrying a team. The Wings have the talent to barry teams, but dont most nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnipeShow 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 Heading into the 3rd we all knew Nashville was going to get all the calls and it would basically be 20 minutes of Predator's powerplay. It's the way the NHL works nowadays. Get used to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirov19 1 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 This thread could easily be called "troubles finding good referees" Although the game against LA was easily nobody's fault but Detroits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 It's never comforting seeing the Wings give up 3 goals in the 3rd. But hey, they got the win and that's all that matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imisssergei 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 who didn't see this thread coming from a mile away I'm not just talking about today's game. The Wings have been awful in the 3rd period most of the season, allowing teams to get back into games they shouldn't be in. As far as the refs are concerned, just as all of us knew the calls would be going Nashville's way, so did the Wings. The Wings just didn't play very well in the third period, again. At some point, the Wings need to shape up and play a full 60 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vangvace 12 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 I've been wondering the same thing, but it's really been the Wings MO since... around '94 or '95 if not longer I believe. Either they play the first two or just the third. Ah well playoffs are so close I can taste it. Enough with this preseason already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if it's the Wings just thinking the opposition is going to give up, or maybe they just don't care. But the way they have been playing isn't too comforting going into the playoffs. Big leads being blown (that sounds really wrong ) shouldn't be a shock to anybody in here, whether it is the Wings blowing leads or any other teams. It's happened to the Wings once this year that I can easily recall, twice in recent playoffs as well. The Canadiens blew a 3-0 lead to a loss to the Rangers. They came back from 4 or 5 down in another game. It isn't a new occurance, it can pop up at anytime and they arent doing it on purpose. Hopefully it won't happen in the playoffs, I'm not wanting it to happen, but it shouldn't come to a surprise if it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
