Why is there a game tomorrow?

[Dabura 12,232]

While the "interference" call was awful yes, it is a judgment call and I can't blame the referee for making a judgement call in the heat of the moment.

The "phantom interference" call on Holmstrom in the regular season matinee game against the Ducks which would've tied the score and likely sent the game to overtime, judgment call by the refs, even though it wasn't called right.

Even the "no-interference" call on Holmstrom in game 1 of this series which went the Wings way (I know…shocking that referees can actually make calls for the Red Wings, heaven forbid… /sarcasm), another judgment call by the refs which should've been the other way around.

Again it is difficult to make split-second decisions out there. I have been an official before in games not even close to this skill level in different sports, but still where the players on the playing surface were competent/decent at the game and it is not easy. I've made some terrible calls as well. I'm more annoyed by the fact that stuff like this isn't reviewable to make the calls exactly, or close to 100% as possible, accurate.

If you don't like my opinion after a Wings loss or think I'm full of it because I might go against the grain from the opinions of other Wings fans more than usual or because I try to bring an entire perspective to the table instead of an "OMG THE WINGS LOST, LET'S ALL COMPLETELY BLAME THE REFS OR ANNOUCERS AND NOT HOLD OUR WINGS ACCOUNTABLE OR GIVE THE STARS ANY CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE" opinion, that's your tough luck then.

I'll say from the bits i watched of the game. The interference call they made on holms that dis-allowed the goal played a pretty big factor as far as momentum. I didn't know there was ANOTHER goal called off.

Sure, Dallas played 400x better than they did in games 1-3. BUT Detroit had the rewards for their efforts taken away (two goals taken away due to refereeing?)

I agree, it's cliche to blame losses on the refs. But Two goals? Doesn't that make it 3-3 at the end of the game if all went as it did? And I bet if those goals counted - It was a whole different game 4.

Oh Well,

On to game five.

You guys need to ******* grow up.

Zion, if you weren't drawn and quartered after your childish and idiotic post before the game 5 OT against Nashville, then I'm not going to be drawn and quartered either.

Don't take your superstitions out on me.
