Let me guess... Wings with a metric **** ton of interference going uncalled in the game?

Color me surprised!

So many Edzo fans here tonight.

Looks like you bought into the Eddie O. "interference" whining.

I don't know what you're referring to. Rangers fans hate that guy btw.

Yep.

I think all goals reviewable would be terrible as well. One coach's review for a goal.

More than anything I would prefer the league continues to crack down on diving, and I don't know how they'd do it but somehow improve the competency of the officiating.

To me it's not so much about mistakes as it is the officials don't make calls consistently throughout a game.

I am interested to know your view on why all goals shouldn't be reviewable. Goals are the most important thing to the game, missed calls/wrong calls etc shouldn't decide a goal.

Yep.

Whenever he does national Wings games, he whines the whole game about the fictional "subtle interference" that Detroit supposedly wins with.

I actually didn't watch the game, and I can't stand Eddy due to the fact that he hates my team.

The Wings are pretty predictable.

If you guys can't have a mature discussion you're getting an Infraction + Threadbanned.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Pretty awesome game.

It was.

Rangers outplayed the Wings for much of it, but Howard stood tall. It seemed like most of the Wings chances were from the perimeter.

 

[NYRPat21]

I guess this is the Ranger bashing thread. I don't know what they did to Detroit to have such vitriol but it's whatever. Can't complain about getting a point, Howard was terrific.

He clearly hates Detroit, too, but that's understandable from a Chicago homer.

The "subtle interference" bit is a myth. Detroit's trademark puck possession style of play frustrates teams, and they look for any excuse to overcome it. It seems like "subtle interference" is what's popular these days.

 

[PullHard]

Howard was impressive as was Talbot, good game for goaltending

Refereeing left a lot to be desired for both sides it seems, but that happens

I just think it would slow down the game too much. There have been some horrendous screw ups on goals, but the refs do get the goal calls right most of the time. One coaches challenge would take care of most of their mistakes.

In a sport where you only get one time out and don't even stop the game to change players, I just wouldn't want to wait around after every single goal.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

It was a good game. Shame it had to end from a non-call on Nyqvist. I would have liked to see both teams 4-on-4 in OT.

I like Detroit's other trademark better, Chicken winging the opposition player's sticks. Always see a couple of those a game anytime I watch them.

I don't really have much of an issue with the Wings on the whole to be completely honest.

Fair enough. I am on the other side of the spectrum with the whole "slows the game down" mentality.

Stepan was bear hugging Nyquist the whole time,....

Agreed.

I think the call on Stepan was as soft as some of the ones on Detroit. And there were several missed calls based on what little standard the refs did set.

It was such a good game it's a little unfortunate that it came down to a PP that spilled into OT. Though Nash had a goal on his stick earlier and somehow missed a wide open net.

 

[c3z4r]

Montreal-Anaheim has been great so far. Very high tempo

 

[Esa 10]

Typical game in Detroit.

As Kevin Weeks once commented: "Something always happens at the Joe with the refs and it always goes the Wings way."

Hard not to laugh at the uncalled 8 men on the ice or constant gliding with the stick in the opposition's mid-section.

Happy with a point.

Oh come on. All teams do that, every one. Your Bruins aren't exactly angels on the ice.

Kevin Weeks apparently doesn't watch very many Wings games, then.

Yep. The only reason Detroit has ever won a game is because the league loves them.

How about NY having more power plays? What about Quincey getting high sticked with no call? So salty, haha.

Agreed the Rangers played better but I thought the better scoring chances were had by the Wings.

I'm guessing Weekes said that sometime in June of 2002.

Not debating that. Nyquist was hooking Stepans arm preventing him from releasing. You're going to debate that?

Shoulda been matching.

Really? Hmm.

I think they had some great chances around the net, but overall I thought the Rangers had more quality chances. I was getting annoyed at some of the perimeter shots by the Wings though so maybe it was confirmation bias on my part.
