The officiating was indeed pathetic.

Also, these new line combos didn't look too hot when they were out there. Maybe some of that has to do with constantly having to kill penalties.

In any case, Bertuzzi and Franzen are too lazy and too stupid to be playing on the same line right now.

Bert's too lazy and stupid to be playing at all. I'm tired of his multiple bonehead penalties game after game. Bench him.

f*** we scored only one goal AGAIN. Doesn't matter about our stupid penalities that we took and this and that. Not going to win many games scoring 1 goal in this league. Somethings gotta give. What the f*** boyz....

So, on the Grand Scale of Referee screwups against us, this isn't as bad as the 2010 SJ/DET series, but i'd rank it up there.


Had to be Setoguccibag. Harding diving like an olympian and the refs all over the f-ing whistles.

[Yak19]

stop crying about all the so called missed calls and realize the Wings only managed 1 goal on Harding in 120+ minutes

lololololol

There isn't.

Were you born yesterday?

I always feel dirty when i agree with you...

kronwall was not elbowed, it was a clean hit form the 3 angles i saw in hd slow mo.

Koivu jumped into Kronwall and he didn't even have the puck. Charge, interference-take your pick.

I think the refs should just get together and have a game of table slider hockey to decide the games from here on in if this is how they are gonna call games

[lomekian]

I have stayed up in England to all kinds of stupid o'clock to watch the games, and there have been so many bad calls already this year. It seems that the opposition can tap dance on Howard's head and no-one gives a rats arse, but if holmstrom farts in the direction of a goalie, we have a penalty and goals waved off. The standard of officiating in the NHL is getting worse year by year over the last 15 years I have following from overseas, and frankly, I'm not sure I can be bothered anymore.

The league has the parity it wants, but it does seem there is another agenda out there, following on from the endless debacles in 2009 playoffs. The fact that these don't get reviewed and there is no real forum to criticise officials is pathetic.

That said, the team looks in not great shape this year, and this seems to be the beginning of a slow long predicted partial decline, that needs to be addressed with more size and speed in the line up. Just as well some of the kids coming up in the system look exciting.

For those of you who are blaming the refs, you should realise that this is hockey, sometime you get a the calls your way sometimes you don't, so don't blame the refs.

The Wings didn't play well enough to win and they lost, get used to it, it's going to append a lot in the future, they had a great ride for so many years now they are just a middle of the pack team.

This is just my opinion.

Let's Go Red Wings!!!

One, that's not even close to a clean hit. Have you ever watched post lockout hockey?
two, bertuzzi had a penalty earlier this season that was exactly like that

And by a lot you mean primary scoring only?

That's just the tip of the iceberg. PP not looking so hot. While we cycle the puck well in the offensive zone...we just don't seem to have guys getting some speed toward the net and getting open for really good scoring chances. Multiple people on multiple lines just floating around. I think we got screwed by the refs tonight, but a few of those were legitimate calls on the Wings, and they were given to us because players were playing lazy. I thought we were just under-achieving these last few losses, which we tend to do from time-to-time, but now I'm not so sure. I'm not gonna overact or throw a fit or anything, but I just have a general feeling of malaise about this team right now.

Hopefully we can get back on track on Thursday...or Iginla will finally have his breakout first game of the year and hattrick us.

[WorkingOvertime]

LOL @ all the "elbowing" posts.



the wings didn't play well, and took about 200 penalties that were all both legit and unnecessary?

does that help?

The PK played excellent and the Wings had many chances. Harding had another great game, and IMO the Wings got screwed on the last play. The Wings weren't outplayed- they just took bad penalties. To me, playing well and taking penalties are not mutually exclusive.

[Electrophile]

How about some funny?

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Well, unlike the other night in Minnesota, I thought the defense was very good tonight. The tying goal was just one of those things. Those blind hail mary wristers from the point will go in sometimes. And the less said about the winning goal, the better.

The refs dropped the ball and Harding stood on his head, but the Wings have got to find a way to beat him. Or, well, I guess not anymore. Thank god they're done with Minny for a good long while.

The defense wasn't bad, it just seems we're always in bad position in those end of the game tying goal scenarios and, damn it's frustrating to watch haha.

But the main thing is, I don't wanna see Harding ever again. When we're looking for a backup next offseason we gotta grab this guy so he can't beat us by himself anymore

[Kindl Surprise]

Considering how the Red Wings have played the last five games, this might be more appropriate:

Haha well at least watching the replay with that playing overtop makes it a little enjoyable. It should just play on the rink PA every time Hudler gets on the ice.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

This thread will get the most posts for a GDT by far so far this season.

[LeftWinger]

Koivu jumped into Kronwall and he didn't even have the puck. Charge, interference-take your pick.

as I referenced earlier, that play has been called interference all season long....prior to this year it was a battle for the puck, but this year they have been calling the penalty. Nice time to go back to the old rule refs...oh well, we need to score more goals! 5 in 5 is horrible.

[Heaten]

You people are crazy if you don't think all the penalties decided this game.

[hckypete96]

cant wait to see a trade. this team needs a goal scorer
