Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 And the worst line in the NHL takes yet another penalty....sorry Dats. Have fun in the KHL in 2015 Look at the bright side, Dats will be in the twilight of his career. We got to see him in his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Ugh..."Good job selling the call". Is that worth praising now? Of course, only if you are going to berate the Wings for doing the same thing at times. He didn't need to sell that call though, it was pretty textbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Stellar, balanced officiating as always. Maybe Bettman should put in the "LGW Fan" rule into effect. The officials are to overturn 3 penalties the Wings commit in each game just to make the fans happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't need to sell that call though, it was pretty textbook. Looked like Toews grabbed his arm as he "smartly leaned into him after the intial contact".

He's a fine wine sir. If he doesn't get linemates soon that compliment his skills, Mr. Babcock will be receiving a big ol' bag of dog s*** in the mail.

I've always been a primary die hard Wings fan, but the Hawks and Bruins have always been up there for secondary teams. But in saying that, the streak ends today! Side note, nice fan Abs.

We've all had enough of this "experiment" Dats is a professional and will do what he can with what he gets. Detroit has put together teams that have helped him win 2 cups. 1 sputman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Looked like Toews grabbed his arm as he "smartly leaned into him after the intial contact". The officials don't have the benefit of instant replay like we have. When the game is over, I believe you will see the power play chances to be close, which is all we can ask for as fans.

sputman 1,268 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 I think the word "grit" must have changed over the years. According to the examples given by Pierre, grit = blocking shots, back-checking, and trying to win the puck along the boards. And here I thought that meant "hockey." 1 esteef reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
