4/11 GDT: Blackhawks 4 at Red Wings 2

[Electrophile 3,554]

The refs giveth....................................and the refs taketh away.

They need a better checks and balances system in place for crap like this; yeah they're human but when they f*** up, they should be held accountable for that, especially when it's blatant.

All i can say is WOW, worst call ive seen in a while. if you're gonna call that at least dont make it a penalty shot, i guess that ref wanted to go home to catch the end of the Masters

[Holmstrom96 347]

well, the refs LITERALLY handed the game to them

My thinking exactly.

[VM1138 1,921]

I'm glad we don't have an enforcer now. Looks like the only way to win a game is not to invade the personal space of an opposing player.

Well, congrats to the Hawks, they needed the worst call I've seen in quite some time in order to beat the Wings this year.

On one side they must be thinking that they'll take it when they can get it and at the same time the victory must feel a little hollow right? Even they must know how bad that call was.

[VM1138 1,921]

Well....the Hawks can enjoy this one. The Wings can take beating them in Round 2 or 3.

[FinRedWing 172]

Well,tomorrow's a must win then.

[wmubronco420 25]

was something thrown at the chicago bench?

Detroit fans already have a bad rep, we really dont need this unclassy s***

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Why in the hell would we want to listen to the Hawks goal winning scorer? Sheeeesh.

I wish I had a job with no accountability..................

BECAUSE NHL REFS SURE DO.

det got totally screwed in this game. had to watch the hawk feed and they so excited that the hawks finally beat the "cup champs." you know what, ill gladly give the hawks all the meanless wins they want against detroit. its just too bad the hawks wont be in the playoff past round one, so detroit can continue to beat them in meaningful games.

[Reilly 24]

Terrble. And Conklin played a really great game overall, I though, despite letting in those early shots.

He was o'fer on the goals, neither were particularly dangerous. Didn't see much work overall, wouldn't call that a very good game.

Wasn't it like a week ago that one of our guys go hog-tied on a breakaway, didn't get the shot off, and no penalty shot was called?

[Guest Shoreline]

Well,tomorrow's a must win then.

Season's over. Wings are golfing.

[Guest mindfly]

Lovely with 20 regular season losses, looks so fine on a statistic paper

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

jesus! not only does datsyuk not get any points, he's a ******* -2, all because conklin can't stop a shot from forty-five ******* feet out. s*** ******* game.

Every NHL rule has a "Unless it's the Red Wings" clause.

A game the Wings should have won, but couldn't because of being outmatched in goaltending and the refs tripping on acid?

Well, there's a first for everything.

Thank god this was a meaningless game, if we were still fighting for the Presiden'ts Trophy I'd be pissed.

Also, Pavel is so going to score a hat-trick tomorrow.

[Guest Shoreline]

Dats should be resting tomorrow so I'd all but give up hope for both his 100 point season and Lids getting 1,000 points.

[Donaldjr2448 43]

That call was almost as bad as the refs blowing the call lastyear against SanJose when the puck clearly hit the netting, and the refs blew that one!!

I listen to Gary Bettmans show on thursdays and most of the callers give the refs good grades this year and kiss Bettmans ass on how great the games are now, and then you see this crap!! I will try to call in on Thursday and ***** about this one!!!! unbelieveable!! thank goodness we didn't need the points!!!

[55fan 5,133]

Please tell me we have different refs tomorrow.

Perhaps a certain official has made plans for May and wants to make sure he isn't chosen to officiate the playoff games.

[Guest Shoreline]

Please tell me these refs won't be in Chicago tomorrow.

You mean, in the playoffs.

[FinRedWing 172]

Season's over. Wings are golfing.

You forgot the sarcastic ninja.

I really think they were going to take it a bit easier tomorrow,but I doubt they want to lose to the Blackhawks twice in a row. Expect a W.
