I think that's the heart of it.

A team slacking off a little, combined with that it's easier to call a penalty on a team with a lead than the one that's already losing.

But there's no conspiracy.

I agree with the bolded part and I question how a team territorily dominates an opponent, often out shooting them by more than a 2-1 margin, yet has 10 5-3's against in 10 games and 7 penalties/game for 5 straight. You dont see something wrong here? Ill bet there isnt any two teams in the league that together have 10 5 on 3's against in 10 games.

My problem isnt the calls being made against us but why, when the opponent does the same, the refs look away. A penalty is a penalty now matter time or situation. Just call the game even and consistent thats all i ask.

After last night they are tied for 3rd MOST penalized. Before they were somewhere in the middle of the pack (not going to check every game and subtract last night's penalties).

I just don't understand how a puck possession team like the Wings have that many penalties. They are averaging nearly 1 more penalty per game then the opposition.

They will outplay and kick some Shark ass tonight and win 4 - 1!!
