Guest Four Report post Posted January 30, 2009 First to pop Dan O'Hallaron gets infinity hugs, kisses and bail money. Oh, and obviously signed sticks from the Wings themselves showing their thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Not only was Homer pushed, but he didn't make contact with Turco until after the puck had gone past him. The contact was meaningless twice. Regardless, the last five minutes of that period was crazy. Great fun. Yeah I noticed that too. Puck was past in, he gets bumped. It was going to be a goal no matter whether or not he was touched. I can't believe we were literally just robbed of a goal with no apparent reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Is this Bettman's way of getting back at Red Wings ... wtf is going on lol That's what my dad says. Bettman is pissed and Danny O is getting orders straight from the top to screw us. Edited January 30, 2009 by Ms_Hockey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) O'Hallaron is a tool and has some kind of vendetta against the Wings. That was a good goal. Homer got backed into Turco and then he put on a show. Then O'Hallaron wouldn't even go address Babcock at the end of the period. What an ******* he is. Bettman's favorite ref has got to be O'Hallaron because he is a sad sack excuse for a ref. That call on Draper was horrible too. Edited January 30, 2009 by Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 If we lose by one (4-3) that goal would have been the difference maker. If we win, we can shove it up O'Halloran's ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt. Angry 23 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Observations: 1. If I'm Mike Illich, I tell my players and coaches to just let fly with whatever comments they want to make about the refs, and I'll foot the bill. 2. If I meet O'Halloran on the street, I lead off with a sucker punch kick to the balls. When he bends over in pain, I punt him in the face, and end up grinding his ugly face with my heel. I won't even bother applying the claw hold! 3. Osgood should definitely get one of those spring-loaded helmets like Conks has. Might be good for a few more PP's.

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Ok,who did this? Dan O'Halloran (born March 25, 1964 in Essex, Ontario) is an National Hockey League referee, who wears uniform number 13.[1] He was one of the selected referees who officiated the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals with Paul Devorski. He was selected again to officiate the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals along with Devorski. He also continues to make an ass of himself for his perpetual blackballing of Detroit Red Wings forward Thomas Holmstrom. wikipedia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That call on Draper was horrible too. Seriously. It speaks volumes that O'Hallaran doesn't have the stones to go up to Mike and address him, because hes knows he made a bulls*** call. The sad thing is, if any other NHL ref is reffing this game, he sees that goal and not for a SECOND does he think "oh, thats not a good goal." To an unbiased ref, that goal is good 11 times out of 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoninJai 5 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Does anyone have a direct email address for Colin Campbell? I've seen one for Bettman posted now and then. I'd like to drop him a note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Filppula is proving once again that he is inconsistent and DOES NOT FINISH. Instead of taking a great open shot, he passes the puck to no one and loses the puck for about the 900th time. OR...he's near the goal and fans on a shot. HE IS DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY BATZ. WHY does Babcock play him so much?? HUH???!!! I was screaming about that shot he didn't take to my Dad. He thought I lost my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
