"hey there's something on my wrist...I better JUMP! SUPERMAN!"

[Octopus's Garden 147]

I'm furious.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

Unless I'm mistaken, the last time we came back in the 3rd period in the playoffs was against San Jose back in 2007?

[VanDer 58]

I hate these bulls*** calls!!!

[Z and D for the C 712]

This is the worst reffing I've seen in a long, long time.

[hankzet40 233]

These officials are awful. Missed/wrong calls everywhere. I'm sure the 5 on 3 will end our comeback.

[crotty99 302]

MUCH better period. Terrible calls near the end. If we can kill it off, then I think we will win.

Regardless of the result in this game, I'm confident we will take this series.

Go wings.

Thorntons still a ******.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Guys, even if we lose this game, which I think we will, I'm not worried.

We'll win this series. Sharks aren't that good.

[PotbellyJoe 10]

I try not to be a conspiracy nut, but this league makes it so damn hard sometimes....

[Andy Pred 48 337]

yeah Flip caught him but hey come on wheres the fecking call for diving on Setadivi

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Who the f*** are these refs because at this point I could find two people that have never seen a hockey game before and they could call a better game. Start calling diving or take it out of the damn rulebook. This is a ******* joke. The NBA has better officials than the NHL.

[TheCaptain19 49]

this is the second time this playoffs where we get clipped high, DRAWING BLOOD, and NO CALL.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Sharks had only 5 shots on goal in the second period.

[Guest Four]

Okay I can see how they called Flip, even tho he hit him in the chest.. but f*** that, they shouldnt have called that after that dirty ass Franzen call. f*** THA REFS

[UKWING 8]

this is the most imcompetent officiating i have seen for a long time. if (and its a big if) the wings can manage to kill these penalties off, you gotta think the refs will throw some make-up calls our way.

[Carman 387]

Kill off these bulls*** calls, and we'll get the make up calls towards the end of the period. s***ty officiating is s***ty.

[Firehawk 305]

I love how a player hits the ice like he got shot, they call the penalty, then he jumps right back up and smirks. Anyone catch that with Setaguche there?

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Up to these penalties, the only legit penalty that was called BOTH ways was the one that tripped I think Zetterberg up...otherwise all the calls both ways have been ticky tack.

I don't know how Franzen got a penalty there, what a frickin joke.

[nate94gt 134]

you guys are starting to sound like the coyotes fans blaming officiating

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Sharks are diving all over the place, ******* pussys. Love to come back and steal it in the 3rd.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

What a joke of a game so far.

Sharks dominate for a minute then sit back and let the Wings take control of the game. Then the refs give it right back with two horrible calls.

[A.T.Hun 0]

We've taken the team that San Jose normally puts on the ice and replaced them with Paul Kariya. Let's see if anybody notices.

[Barrie 900]

I would think the refs will see their mistakes in the intermission and even it out in the 3rd. I'm expecting the Sharks to get warned about diving and a few Wings PP in the last 20 minutes.

Kill off the 5 on 3, and we'll be alright.

[Louisville 112]

Dude falls on his ass and clips Franzen.

Franzen - 2 minutes for tripping with his face, OK ref lol

[Guest GordieSid&Ted]

he did hit but why no call on frazen this is just complete bulls***

he did hit but why no call on frazen this is just complete bulls***

COME ON PEOPLE. The calls have been a bit soft but the officiating has been ok.

Why did Franzen go to the box and not Setoguchi? Because Franzen stuck his stick behind Sets skate and tripped him. I guess it's not a penalty if you're falling on your azz b/c you got tripped. I'm okay with that.

And yes, they should call freaking diving on Sets when Flip hit him but you know what, Flip did hit him up high.

Officiating has been fine both ways. My only wish for the refs is that they would let more of this stuff go. But they're calling a lot of stuff.

I SURE DON'T SEE ANYBODY COMPLAINING ABOUT DRAPER'S 360 DEGREE SPIN0RAMA AFTER HE BARELY GOT TOUCHED BY BOYLE. tsk, tsk

[b.shanafan14 733]

This officiating is a ******* joke. Period.
