10/29 GDT: Ducks 5, Red Wings 4 (OT)

[SuperNovaXll 124]

I really don't get all the complaints here about the officiating. What call wasn't fair? This is the Wings taking stupid penalties.....not the refs' fault.

I totally agree. Yeah we have taken a crap load of penalties, but just about all of them were no-brainers. High sticking, shooting puck over the glass. I honestly havent had a problem with the refs this game at all. We have to keep outself out of the friggin box if we are going to win this game. The wings are doing it to themself!

[Pskov Wings Fan 71]

God damn, I can't stand these Anahiem announcers. Please Wings, win this game in regulation. I can't fathom having to listen to these clowns in Ot or worse a shootout.

Yeah, I am suffering without Detroit feed as well.

[russianswede919293 95]

The game has been called fairly...its just that they are calling way too much.

Let them play. We are on a WEST COAST TRIP and the refs are making this a special teams only game....

Not a good way to stay fresh for the whole trip....

Both teams are playing gritty and the refs are calling every single thing...

Also I hate these Ducks announcers, and their camera angles, and their team...

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Anyways, good to see a pretty solid effort so far from Ozzie. The two goals that went in were far from his fault.

How did Dats manage to get a penalty?

I agree. Can't complain so far..

[russianswede919293 95]

I'll agree, you can't not call that high stick on kronwall. This isn't like the 3-2 loss last year at home against them. It's just the wings taking dumbs*** penalties.

Lets hope we can get our two goal lead back.

Mostly agreed...the hooks and holds, and interferences are getting a tad sensitive though...

don't forget most of their fans

No need for sarcasim. Just stating that I am getting sick all the penalties. It kills the momentum of the game.

Don't sweat it. It pisses me off, too. There's a reason we all became fans of the NHL in the 90s, when there weren't penalties called every two minutes for complete and utter bulls***.

Well, the players need to stop taking penalties and there will be more flow.

Its Ozzies best game yet. No fault to a goalie on letting in a 5-3 goal ever...

[CrossoverThrash 0]

anybody notice stuart having a bad game and lebda pretty much being nonexistent

[Lidstromrules16 7]

I nominate a Z-Flip-Huds 2nd line. Cleary is good, but he is more of a 3rd line energy guy, and sammy play bench

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Damn, a 12-4 final. Wish we had one of those. The most goals I can recall was like 8 or 9.

[russianswede919293 95]

They are talking about the size of goalie pads shrinking....

In fear that they'll need a new goalie once the pads are smaller...

Ah yes, the 90's. What many consider to be the most boring and unwatchable era of NHL hockey.

[Cruiser008 37]

We got stop taking these bad penalties guys. Both the Dats and Kronwall penalties were legit

Really I think its Sammy's first bad game in like 3-4 games...

Cleary is a 2nd line PP 3rd line guy...

Huds is inbetween being a 2nd and 3rd liner, and you need Filppula at center with Franzen out...so the lines are what they need to be...

On a positive Kopey has played a pretty good game...

Its just a shame that its been all special teams and the 3rd and 4th lines have been riding the pine pony...

Cool, and many also loved it. Me being one, pre-lockout hockey was great. I dont care if there was hooking holding, it was just as exciting as todays NHL, except for the 2 line pass slowing stuff down.

God, these West coast trips are killing me, especially when I have to get up at 5:30am. Makes for a very looong day. But I would never be able to sleep during a game, because I would be wondering what the score was.

I thought Sammy played pretty bad against LA, but other than that, yea he hasnt been that bad, but he is starting to annoy me

[Cruiser008 37]

We'll be ok,gotta remember to take one penalty at the time.

LOL

[This Is Bida 0]

Gotta agree with everyone who says it's been good officiating thus far. I will say there has been 1, maybe 2 calls I think they missed on the Ducks. For instance the hit from behind from Flip was a no-brainer but RIGHT after that Kopy gets tripped and no call. There was one other I can't recall. Other than that, the Wings need to get a quick PP goal to start the 3rd and stay out of the box. Enough stupid penalties.

Oh and I know it's been a couple years but I STILL hate the Ducks. That hit on Dats that knocked down him and Hossa just shows the class of this team. I really just cannot stand ANYONE on this team. If there was ever a team I wish didn't win a Cup it would be them.

Don't ask me why, just can't stand any of them (except maybe Getzlaf)

Nice try. I'm from Canada, and the 90s is what "many" of us consider to be the absolute best era of hockey the NHL has had to offer. Back then, you could actually play hockey and be as gritty as you'd like without an oversensitive referee on your ass every thirty seconds.

You're free to have your own opinion, but don't try to state your opinion as fact.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Nice save Ozzie
