Don't tell people to flame away, and then be a dismissive prick when they do.

Flame away after you read my entire post.  He posted a sarcastic comment that I had already addressed solely to be a ****, thus a "prick" response was warranted.

The refs clearly threw this game. It couldn't possibly be the Wings losing it for themselves. If the Wings don't go 82-0 during the season and 16-0 in the playoffs, the playoffs is obviously thrown.

Ready comprehension is good to learn.  Re-read my first post then reply, but think first.

The officials know what they're doing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but we see it every year....

True, but calling a penalty simply because the other team has had more even if the "penalty" was as piddly as some that were called is making the officiating look pathetic.  Call a penalty because a penalty happened, not because the other team has more.

I'm kind of wondering if the refs are watching different games than the rest of us.  The Coyotes have had a huge amount of penalties against them yes, but with every one called there are 2 that aren't.  They call every little thing against the wings, and it seems like they are trying to even up the penalties.  This is absolutely ridiculous.  If a team is doing things where they should be called, it should be called regardless of how many the other team has gotten.  Now, if they'd just not call the majority of it that'd be better, but if they're gonna call the piddly little crap that they call on the Wings, then let obvious s*** go from the Coyotes, something is wrong.

Also, why did Abdelkader get a 10 min game misconduct and Morris did not?  I see a lot of things that seems heavily like double standards.

Flame away.

Edit: In no way did the officiating lose us this game, because our defense was absolutely atrocious, and Howard was a again mediocre at best, but it sure seems like rubbing salt in the wound.
