Who make up the referees and linesmen tonight?

[BigWinston 15]

So the wife was listening to a guy on 97.1 yesterday talking about the game 7 tonight. He was talking about the inconsistent calls from the officials.

He said basically that he could predict what type of a game it would be based upon the officials overseeing that particular game. He also said that it was only the NHL and its sad that it is that way.

With that said - do we know yet who the officials will be for tonights game, how we can find out, and if they have taken part in an earlier game this series?

Might be an indication of how the Wings/Ducks will fair.

Devorski and Joannette - I find them both to be fair and relatively consistent, works for me, lets go!

I don't see a soul making excuses...

Besides, watch an interview with O'Halloran sometime- he admits a bias against Detroit.

[edicius 3,269]

No O'Halloran and no Watson? I'm cool with that.

[Bad Vlad Forever 1]

i think the refs will try to be as hands off of this game as possible

[NEpats1028 1]

people need to stop being so negative. pissing me off.

What part of this post is negative? Did you even read it?

"Just a bit of fun" really captures the negativity doesn't it? Clown.

[SoDakWing 8]

These refs seem legit. Lets get it on.

BOOO YA

[wingsdiehard13 33]

No O'Halloran and no Watson? I'm cool with that.

Agreed.

I like Devorski. At least for the time being

That might work to our disadvantage
