When is anyone outside of Detroit going to recognize the fact that the officiating in this series has cost the Wings the first two games?
One Trick Thid and the Pens are listed at 1900 on OLN. Wings are listed at 1930. What game will I get to see if I only have Gary’s closed-circuit tv station?
Updated: Here’s your answer to the VS question. Conspiracy? No. Just more obvious bias toward Gary’s Baby Boy.
From Jennemy of the Skate in the comments below:
The whole nation will be watching Pittsburgh Vs Montreal and the San Jose /Wings game will be JIP (Joined in Progress).
If you take a look at the versus schedule (Above link) you will see that not a single Penguins game is JIP.
With curiosity, I asked the young lady what drives their viewing schedule and was shocked by her response…..“The NHL tell us which games to air and that all Penguins games are to be shown live.”
Why aren’t I as nervous as I should be, with the Wings down 0-2? I’ll answer that one: because they’re a better team than the Sharks and because Nabokov has shown me nothing. The only advantage San Jose’s demonstrated has been the two-man variety, and it won them both games.
Who is going to step up tonite? Nick Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk and Hank Zetterberg. Because it’s what they do.
What happens now? Wings win tonite. What happens Thursday. Wings win then too bitch.
And then? Well we’ll just see won’t we.
All I really know is this: 1:19 seconds, plus the officials, did the Wings in on Thursday. The officials, hired and directed by Little Gary Bettman, violated Detroit again on Sunday. Will they pull the same tricks at the Joe? Most likely. But desperation has always bred success in Detroit so I’m saying they’ll win in spite of another obvious shaft job. And then they’ll win again in Game 4. This series goes back to NoCal tied up, and it’s not because of Jebus or providence or puppies or hookers on fire trucks. It’s because the Wings do well when they’re pissed and that they most definitely must be.
Live blog it.

Seriously? Penalty shot?
Bullshit. I’m happy as a Wings fan, but that’s a serious bullshit call.

That is… an awesome call. Stunning.

Shit. Good break for us, but, no…bad call.

Zetterberg is not good at penalty shots.

That what the sharks get for wearing black gloves. White or teal gloves and that penalty shot is not called.

See refs? You make shitty calls… then you feel guilty and try to overcompensate and make more shitty calls.

damn. if only Bertuzzi had buried the wraparound. ugh.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
Damn, had him beat. Rather have had the 2 mintues to wear them out.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
That was close.

That was actually a bullshit call for a penalty shot.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
Wings get a bad call in their favor and don’t take advantage. Remember that.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
Fuch. Can NOT let that swing momentum. I can’t be that mad though, it was a pretty questionable call.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from California on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
What a stop by Nabby = Hank shooting it right into Nabby’s glove damnit.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/04/10 at 08:19 PM ET
Wings have really carried the play this period - - maybe for the 1st time in this series
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/04/10 at 08:20 PM ET
I’m wondering if what the ref saw was the Sharks player holding the puck under Nabokov’s pad - after we couldn’t see it any more from the top down view. at first he didn’t put his hand on it, he just shoved it, but it did look like his arm moved forward after that.

That what the sharks get for wearing black gloves. White or teal gloves and that penalty shot is not called.
Now that is a seriously good point.
