LOL

[MidMichSteve 1,115]

OMG refs don't want OT either.

[Guest Shoreline]

Litter the ice, maybe slap a ref upside the head with an octopus. Thanks fellow Wing fans at the Joe.

[Williams29fan 6]

Thank you stupid refs! thanks for giving away the game! Might as well call you Dan o'halloran

[YoungGuns1340 1]

That has to be the weakest excuse for a penalty shot in history. Seriously. Wow.

[55fan 5,133]

That was fuglie.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Great shot and hustle by Cleary and Datsyuk, but to no avail.

[BlueMonk 102]

That's okay. Less regular season hockey minutes = good.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

It would have been fine to just lose the game, but to lose it on a blown call is infuriating even though it doesn't matter.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Guest Shoreline]

Refs win, but Hawks get the points. Been there done that, this season. I'm even thinking of writing to some newspaper I can think of to write up on the league's pathetic reffing this season. It's just so astoundingly horrible one has to even ***** about it in a meaningless game.

[Guest mindfly]

When red wings players have been clearly hooked in similar situation at most there was a hooking call, when kronwall lifting his stick it turns into a penalty shot omfg

[YoungGuns1340 1]

I'm dumbfounded. Way to close out one of the s***test reffing seasons in years. Don't know why I expected anything different.

[VM1138 1,921]

Well. That was bulls*** if I ever saw it.

[Mors 201]

One of the worst calls of the season...absolute travesty

[Z and D for the C 712]

Glad I didn't opt to watch the entire replay.

I hope osgood stays as good as he's been in the playoffs.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

What was happening at the Hawks bench there?

[Guest Shoreline]

Damn, did a fan try to throw s*** at a ref and end up hitting a Hawks assistant?

[Reds4Life 51]

lol nice job refs

Anyways, Kopecky is really horrible player. No vision, not one good pass, I really wonder how bum like that made the NHL.

That's it. I've gotta call it.

Shenanigans

[Gonz 0]

How in the f*** was that even a PENALTY SHOT, let alone a penalty?

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

well, the refs LITERALLY handed the game to them

[Holmstrom96 347]

Another game packaged up and handed out to the oposing team on a platter by the refs. They better not do this stuff in the playoffs or it will be more than octopi thrown on the ice.

The crowd said it best, "BUUUUUULSHIIIIIT"

[YoungGuns1340 1]

It would have been fine to just lose the game, but to lose it on a blown call is infuriating even though it doesn't matter.

Exactly. I would've been fine losing this thing in good old boring meaningless hockey fashion, but to lose it like that? Holy ******* god. Thats a ridiculous call if I've ever seen one.

[Ms_Hockey 0]

That was the biggest joke of a call I think I've ever seen in my life. Normally, I'm not one to say that the refs have switched the outcome of a game... but I have to say it this time.

I'd say congratulations to the Blackhawks, but I just can't. They won the game thanks to the truly horrible penalty shot call. But you won't be having many of those in the playoffs... and we WILL beat your asses then.

Unbelievable.
