gdt 2/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Capitals 6 (OT)

[Dabura 12,206]

We just had a game stolen from us thanks to an extremely poor call

With the first period we had, we're lucky to get a point. We play three periods, we win in regulation.

guys

we'll be ok when we get healthy, right?

i'm sure datsyuk and franzen will fix our retarded defensemen

right?

[kipwinger 8,492]

3 tripping and 1 holding call. Wings getting outskated much?

Its the right call stop bitching about it. Smith was trying to set a pick to give space to Kindl. Any contact on plays like that gets called. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

If that was the case there would be about 30+ penalties in every game...the officials showcased some very poor game management skills

im fine with the call if they called the rest of the game the same way but they didnt

[LeftWinger 4,934]

Bone head play by Smith, nice dive by the Cap, s***ty goal by Howard. He should have had it...

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

At that moment in the game, that shouldn't be called. Their ankles barely collided.

Theres no rule that says its not a penalty in OT. Smith has to be smart enough to avoid contact no matter how minor.

Washington was 3 for 6 on the powerplay.

Where's the great PK expert Drew Miller, who's taking roster spots away from more deserving kids in GR all season?

We should have scored 10 goals

They didn't call interference. It was a "trip" from Brouwer stepping on Smith's stick. Z got mauled at the end of regulation and they overlooked that.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

s***ty call or not the Caps scored 3 PP goals. Absolutely not going to cut it. Like how they say at the end the Caps desperately needed the points...yeah because the Wings can definitely afford to lose games at this point.

There was barely any contact. Not like he just set a pick on him basketball style.

so where does this put us in the standings?

[Andy Pred 48 337]

IM PROUD OF THE BOYS THEY STAYED IN THE GAME DESPITE THE OFFICALS CR#P CALLS ALL GAME.

THE LAST CALL JUST ABOUT TOPPED IT OFF, ABSOLUTE TRASH CALL, DESERVED BETTER TODAY BUT

IF THE HOMEE OFFICALS HAD THERE WAY WE WOULD HAVE GOT NOTHING OUT OF THAT GAME.

BABS IS FINALLY GETTING IT THOU, THE KIDS KNOW HOW TO PLAY, JUST GET A TOP D IN THAT CORP

AND WE DO HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.

I didn't see much of the game, but if this offense as constructed scores 5 goals, then Jimmy needs to play well enough to win.

Am I off base for today or was he average?

[Dabura 12,206]

It needs to be said: we are a disaster. Yeah, five goals, great. But six goals against.

Remember when a game against the Panthers didn't feel like Game 7 of the SCF?

You do realize the only contact on the play was the caps player stepping on smith's stick?

He's almost always average or below.

I was gonna say earlier, What happened to our great PK?

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

By rules in that instance no contact is allowed. Smith has to know any contact in that situation will send him to the box. Refs will always put a team on the powerplay over letting a call go that directly leads to a game winning chance. Has always been that way. Why is anyone surprised by it?

As long as they were in favor of the Wings many around here would love 30 powerplays a game. Compelling hockey for sure. Just read back through old GDTs and count the number of times people are begging for calls around here.

The defending was awful. Howard didn't give up any soft goals, but he could have played a lot better. He continues to underwhelm.

Neuvirth also gave up 5, but he made some terrific saves on the other end. That's the difference between the two goalies.

[brett 1,029]

too bad we came back. now holland def wont make a move.

[nosyt612 103]

On a positive note I have Gustav, Zets and Carlsson on my keeper team. Big night for my team the Datsyukian Dekes.

Weak call on Smith for the trip if you ask me. People blaming Smith and Howard for this loss just prove you need a scapegoat. Not many goalies will stop a PP onetimer by Ovechkin when he gets to load up like that.
