3/28 GDT: Blackhawks 3 at Red Wings 2 (OT)

[Carman 387]

Meh, Our team played well against a team that's playing for their lives. Goaltending was solid, defense was good, and offense was shooting the puck.

Hated the outcome, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

[Green Wing 26]

Great game, Joey was great, but the refs sucked balls and decided a game yet again.

[PrairieDawg 52]

i was watching the wings lose yet another game at the joe.

it's getting embarrassing.

Are you kidding me man? That was one of the best games I've seen in a long time! If it wasn't for the refs it would have been game of the year caliber.

[P. Marlowe 748]

It seems that Wings were rolling three lines in the third. Modano didn't seem to play in the period and Draper weren't on the ice after he was hi-sticked.

[R-Dizzle 119]

Makes me wonder if we want home ice advantage in the playoffs.

[GSBrooks13 204]

So.. lets see.. 1st period refs called everything a penalty.. 2nd period, although seemingly played the same way, they didn't call anything.. final 10 minutes of an otherwise great game with the score 2-2.. the penalties magically go 3-1 in favor of the team who is struggling to stay in the playoffs.. i think i finally understand parity.. .. The penalty with 3.7 seconds left would have been a borderline call halfway through the game, but with 3.7 left in a 2-2 game thats not at all a necessary call considering some of the things they let go.. and at least most of the time you give a team a 4 on 3 they will score on it.. its a shame that everytime a Detroit goalie seems to have a good game the Wings still end up losing one way or another.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

Best part of the game was Joey's amazing play. Give him more starts! Also...The NHL Refs are a joke.

Good night all.

[Gordie Howe hat trick 110]

Had to be Hossa too didn't it?

[mahimahi23 34]

great win, we needed those two points BAD.

[Hairy Lime 234]

They're battling for their playoff lives. Detroit is 2nd overall.

Failed logic is failed.

Oh, Detroit wasn't trying to win this game? What were they doing then? Detroit was owned in this game, and would probably be owned in 7 game series with them. There is medicine for delusions, you know. "Chicago had more to play for" "Datsyuk wasn't in the line-up" Etc. We got our asses kicked. End of story. Spin it whatever way like to make yourself feel better. Chicago, despite all of their departures, is a better team than us. Be honest.

I'm not saying that there is absolutely no way we could beat them, I'm just saying I would not want to face them in the playoffs. I would not like our chances.

[Draperfan 104]

And in other news the NHL suspends Bert through the 2013 season for a vicious elbow

I sure hope your right.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

It was a penalty,once again take your blinders off.

Bertuzzi cost us the game

[P. Marlowe 748]

Aye. It was a great play by Kane to force Z to take the penalty.

Sounds to me like you're the type of person who's going to be swapping wagons and sporting a 'Nucks jersey soon.

[TheXym 2,606]

That was a good game horribly tarnished by pathetic officiating. I have zero problem if the Wings lose due to being outplayed, but I don't like it when the game is decided by the refs, regardless of the outcome. Both teams and their fans deserve to see a game where both sides show up, play hard, and the efforts of the players, not the refs or the mandates of the poison dwarf and his cronies, decide the final score. If there is a legit penalty either way call it. I don't want to see ticky-tack calls either way.

if thats a penalty then the interference on z should be a penalty too. if your going to call weak s*** call all the weak s***. not just one side

[wingslogo19 281]

Joey Mac

Refs tonight

[AtomicPunk 296]

I took the blinders off the first time you said it way back in the first period. All it did was help me see peripherally.

And it was still not a 5-10-game hit. Even after I took my blinders off.

If they get bumped out of the playoffs will you still be saying that?

[matt198913 932]

Please get real if Bert caught him with the elbow Johnson would never had gotten up

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

It wasn't, get some new glasses.

See how easy that was?

Not too surprising that Babs scaled back some guys' ice time. Remember that Bertuzzi was sent off fairly early in the game, so we didn't have a full compliment of forwards to use. Rolling 4 lines like that means someone's getting double shifted.

[P. Marlowe 748]

After Wing's loss this forum reminds me of arguing with my ex-girlfriend. The best thing to do is to just shut up and walk away. In a weird way this is still quite interesting.

[Guest Crymson]

Can we just let McCreary call every game from now on? At least he isn't wildly inconsistent.

[Yak19 303]

YES that was a penalty but when you let it go for the Hawks as many times as the refs did you have to let one go for the Wings.

2 worst non-calls

Holmstrom deserved a PS

Zetterberg interfered with negating a clean 2 on 1

This league just continues to piss on us
