Coyote0106 2 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Yea right and Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone when he shot Kennedy. If the losing teams get more power play opportunities it would stand to reason that over the season that has been played the number of opportunities would be higher for the teams like Dallas, the Inslanders, etc. Well let's take a look... Top 5 teams in PPO Rangers Calgary San Jose Carolina Pittsburgh Montreal Bottom 5 teams (least PPO) New Jersey Boston Florida Aneheim Detroit There's no pattern. 2 of the top teams - Boston and Detroit get less power play opportunities but so does Florida 3 of the 5 teams that get the most are quality teams - Rangers, San Jose and Montreal It may make a good sound bite but the refs don't favor the teams that are behind overall. :clap: Very nicely put. It's the nature of sports for fans to hate refs. Marginal calls are made in every game, with big ones not being called. In the NSH/VAN game, the VAN player left his feet for a hit, that's a penalty. None was called. In another game, an iffy hook is called. Guess what? The old saying "don't put yourself in that position" still comes into play. I believe it was Kopy who got tackled behind the goal line. Let's be honest, he isn't quick enough to have got back in the play (or have the work ethic to get back in the play). The wings scored on a PP with 20 seconds to go to tie it up, and nearly won it in OT, and then won it in the SO. We got 2 points! Why the complaining? The Wings got the win, even with this "horrible" officiating. Smile, and let's look forward to Monday vs the Avs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't agree , nor disagree because i personally think the officiating is horrible in almost all NHL games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
