WCQF Game 1 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Predators 3

[Dirty Dangle 83]

Philly to the PP too. That could get interesting real quick.

[mmorland 16]

Philly just got it's first PP of the night, deep into the 3rd. Go Refs.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Turning point of that period is us blowing that 2 on 1.

Should have been an easy goal with the net open there.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

PLEASE NO SHORTY WHEN THE PERIOD STARTS!!!!!

[Electrophile 3,554]

Briere scores #2. Go Flyers.

Lone bright spot.

[brandon27 111]

Combined for 11 minor penalties through 2 periods. 6 on the Wings, 5 on the Preds. 22 minutes of PP through 40 minutes. This is the most shameful officiating I've seen in a long while...

Pathetic.

Red Wings PP to start the 3rd

SPOILER ALERT: Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass... pass, pass, pass, fake one-timer... pass, pass, pass, double-pump the one-timer allowing the opposition player to block your weak wrister from 5 feet away... repeat.

Shameful and shameless. It's legitimately insane.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Be nice if Bertuzzi and Franzen could stay awake like they were in the last 5 minutes there. Really pissed off that we're down 2-1 on bad breaks/bounces, but we can easily win this game, nothing special about the Preds, just gotta get after them

[edicius 3,269]

This is some of the worst ******* playoff reffing I have ever seen.

Like Mickey implied, all the excitement and potential of this game has been completely sucked out of it by the bulls*** reffing.

I ******* hope this isn't what we should expect of this whole playoffs. If it is, the NHL is officially a complete joke.

If I wasn't a devoted fan, I would bail on this game and just go to bed. Bettman's unwritten directives have ruined the playoffs already. It's atrocious.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I hope I'm wrong, but I still think Yzerman robbed us in that Quincey trade.

[TheXym 2,606]

The refs have been less than stellar, the Wings are playing better, and the difference is two fluke goals. The Wings still aren't clicking on all cylinders yet. Plenty of time in the third to get this, no need to panic. Let's Go Wings!

[dat's sick 1,002]

Can someone tell Franzen it's the playoffs?

He had the right idea when he knocked two Nashville players into eachother and took the puck right to the net.

He has it in him. Just gotta get in that confident zone where he does that all the time.

Funny...sorta true...but still funny.

There's a thread for each of the other series; could we please post game updates in those rather than the Wings thread? Even though those series are probably not as aneurysm-inducing, this should be for Wings/Preds.

Thanks!

I'm watching this game and the baseball game, and the baseball game has been better played, even with Sabathia sucking tonight. Yeesh.

[Dirty Dangle 83]

Why can't the Wings' PP do that?

That'd be a decent PP compared to March

*Dump in, chase for puck, not touch puck, cleared

*enters zone*, stripped of puck, cleared again

*enters zone again*, stripped of puck and opposition scores shorthanded

I see your point, but most everyone is monitoring this thread...and it's intermission...so what is the harm?

[WingZNut13 99]

Why can't the Wings' PP do that?

We can it just happens every 50th PP

[Dirty Dangle 83]

We can it just happens every 50th PP

Well, at this rate, the Wings might see 50 PP's in this game.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

Why can't the Wings' PP do that?

cause our PP never shoots the puck

It's so true. They won't shoot when it's open but they will when there's a guy right there

[Dabura 12,207]

Oh, we shoot it. The shots are just terrible is all.
