They're gonna protect that co** sucker for sure. I'dda smashed his face with my composite if I was on the ice. And it would have been worth the jail time too.

Hockey9019 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Since I just woke up and see the crap news about a crap call I want to make an observation I saw. Just looked the play up on YouTube and the puck was already in before the whistle.... Oh well, nothing we can do now except use this flame in game 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 I mean, I understand the reasoning behind blowing the whistle if you don't see the puck. They need to protect the goalies from getting dogpiled and hacked at, I get that. I just don't understand why there are 11 skaters and three stripes on the ice who know exactly where the puck is and one ******* who doesn't, because he's out of position. It's a cock-s***ty call. It definitely ought to be reviewable or at least reversable. A ref can call a goal and the other one can wave it off because it was kicked, high stick, whatever. It's ridiculous that the same can't happen here. The whistle clearly blew after the goal went in, it's silly that the other ref can't step in and say, look, I saw it all the way, let's check video and see when the whistle actually blew and maybe the goal can stand. In any case, Watson clearly was not doing his job. I better not see him on the ice for any more Wings games this round or at all in the next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltgator333 3 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Weak call and of course the league isn't going to own up to it. There's been oodles of weak calls (or non-calls) in this series against either team, and it's gotten officially old. The Zebras need to start getting it right. edit- Oh yeah, the interference (and both ways at this point) has officially gotten out of hand as well. This is like watching 2004 hockey all over again.

Lovin Jiri Fischer 147 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Well how about don't be out of position so you can actually see the puck like everyone else on the ice did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Why can't they admit the wrong call was made? I don't know if I'll be a hockey fan next year if games and series are decided by people wearing black and white and not the players... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Four Report post Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Maybe if the referee was in proper position, he could of called that play and not cry to the media about how he feels so shameful he has to get someone else to speak for him Edited May 6, 2009 by Four Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hossa7.4 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 I mean, I understand the reasoning behind blowing the whistle if you don't see the puck. They need to protect the goalies from getting dogpiled and hacked at, I get that. see, this is what I don't understand, they let goalies get run all the time. Ozzie has already been run in this series and no calls, he got hit in the head last night from behind by a Duck with the the puck completely dead when everyone knew it and don't tell me one of the crew didn't see it. Still no call. They only care about protecting the goalies sometimes IMO. They let that go on all the time because that's "playoff hockey" but on a scoring chance hurry up and blow the whistle b/c it appears to be covered or sight is lost. and Homer gets rep calls when he's not in the crease or interfearing. But everyone knows this is a huge RW advantage so it gets called ticky tacky. Just like faceoffs in last years finals. Notice the one goal we scored last night Franzen was screening in front but we did get away from standing in front of the net allready once during this series. it's just very frustrating.

XxGoWingsxX 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 The simple fact that the NHL brought this up at all basically admits something is wrong. Also, if the refs are supposed to whistle at lost sight of the puck then why was ozzie allowed to be run over a few times when the puck was in his equipment? Does the ref have xray glasses that only see pucks through ozzies stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROBIE4PREZ 58 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Damn so many times during the regular season I expected a blown whistle but damn I cant remember one .. I do however remember seeing referees scaleing the back of the net with their eye focused on the puck .. how many hoggies this dude eat before the game? He pry looked at the net and was like f ill need a rocket up my ass to get that high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stockholm-wing 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 Did the ref handle this like a PRO? Well, yes if you mean PRO as short for PROstitute (= person who can be bought...) Hmm, makes you think! Lets hope that the wings "kill" the Ducks with three straight wins in pure anger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCartyFanForLife 17 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 At the end of the season, the NHL should make it so that these plays can be checked on video replay. But we can complain all we want about last night, we showed up to play for 1 of 3 periods. Quite frankly we didn't deserve to have the ref bail us out on that play. If we show up to play for 3 periods, we will win this series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest E_S_A_D Report post Posted May 6, 2009 It's no secret NHL bigwigs would love nothing more than the Red Wings to not repeat. They don't want them to be the face of hockey, it's absolute b.s. That call was minor in comparison to the complete b.s. call on Stuart for interference. Disgusting call that cost us the game, horribly reffed game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Questions is: Why can they NOT review a situation when the ref has blown the whistle? and why can't coaches challenge the ref's call? NHL IS BULLs*** Edited May 6, 2009 by mindfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bman87 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 I have been reading these forums for a long time, and just registered to complain about how s*** that call was! Why can't each team have the ability to review a play and if it is reversed, good! If the call still stands after the review, they get a 2 min minor. Seems like a fair way to do a review of the play if they don't like doing it because it slows the game down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
