Fuck this fucking game
This is unbelievable. The Wings need to find a way to overcome these fucking zebras. I’m not even worried about the sharks, just the fucking zebras.
fuck this shit.
Datsyuk’s saves were nice though.
This whole situation
Is a result of the initial call on Bertuzzi. But you’re right, can’t have these breakdowns.
Well the bad calls are going to make this get totally out of conrtol!
Good job assholes.
seriously
I don’t see why the hell players get better each year but the officials get worse and no one cares.
And I don’t give a flying fuck for “the game is so fast” – it’s fast for the players too, and they are expected to control their sticks at all times regardless.

let's just brawl.
although I hate people who only watch hockey for the fights. But we need some positive energy.
that might be more effective
maybe slash one of them in balls. Sort of a “longest yard” reference.
What is the count on the power plays at this point?
We’ve had three (one short one)?
yup
we are due for another penalty anyway
Pavelski needs a cross check to the face.
Two 5 on 3 goals, one 5 on 4, and one 4 on 3. Pretty easy when the refs are gift wrapping power plays for you. The Cleary slash and Datsyuk crosscheck were the only real penalties on the Wings all game.
I don't want to go over there.
Because I will get angry and I don’t want to be a douche to them.
saying the three knees to Pavelski's face evens stuff out

but does anyone else feel like the wings have absolutely outplayed these assholes?
they don't.
all they have done is take advantage of shitty calls. If the wings had had the chance to play at full strength, this game would be completely different.

Jed Ortmeyer is my neighbor during the offseason.
Not sure how I will face him if we lose this series. And he is not even playing tonight.
A power play would be guaranteed for the other team if the Wings were up a goal.
I don’t expect one for the Wings. That gives them 1 full PP for the game (they scored on it).
Refs saw that the wings might have almost gave some momentum.
So they immediately pounced to remedy that.
This is fucked up guys.

You can’t fight through that many BS calls. Especially when they turn into 5 on 3’s at the most important times in a game.

Detroit was the second least penalized team in the regular season. No we’ve taken 30+ minutes, including two 5-on-3 situations, in two games?

We are not losing this series
Not to fucking bullshit games like that. When the refs let the game go, we’ve been the better team. Detroit has to find away to overcome battling the sharks and the refs. Accept the fact they’re going to call a shitload on us, and find a way to overcome it. Nothing else we can do.
I’m wholly unconvinced the better team has a 2-0 lead. Wholly and entirely.
In an attempt to lighten the mood slightly
I just tried to type “outplayed” on my phone, and T9 changed it to “nutslayed.”
i wasn't even aware that it was a word.
but I really would like to try to fit it into daily use. But where on earth would that fit? “I just got nutslayed.”
In a sentence...
The Officiating tonight nutslayed the Detroit Red Wings giving them a 2-0 series deficit. The Wings will need to nutslay the officials and San Jose Sharks right back starting in game 3 at The Joe.

San Jose and Detroit
are two really great puck possesion teams, and the referees are ruining it by calling penalties every four seconds. Let them play.
Back off man, I'm a scientist
this could be a great series
and i wouldn’t mind losing to them if they actually earned it
Unbelievable
Betman should resign in disgrace for many reasons but for allowing a game like this to be called (on both sides incidentally) is shocking. The NBA has better refs.
Seriously...
it’s time for Babs to take the huge fine and call out the officials publicly. We didn’t help ourselves but we were skating them off the ice until those two garbage calls.
Changed absolutely everything about that third period
We had total control until Bert’s penalty. And we may have been able to overcome it if it hadn’t gone to a 5-3. We were gassed for the rest of the third. Playing an entire period shorthanded will do that to ya.
he should have ripped his suit coat off
and broken some sticks against the boards.
didnt know....
Tim Donaghy could skate…officiating was at a premium if you like costing teams goals and powerplays
if you are a sharks fan you really cant feel optimistic about this series
you cant honestly say you deserved half those goals.
they can feel optimistic
about having 8 skaters on the ice at any given time

Hockey Gods
are legitimately pissed at the zebras. Don’t expect legitimate hockey god luck, as zebras don’t qualify. zebras are more like the demons that try to fuck up the work of the gods. and they did a colossal job of that tonight.
Did you guys see Game 3 of the Avs series?
The Dan Boyle blunder game?
Unfortunately for us Sharks fans, that has been closer to the norm this time of year than the exception.
So, excuse me if I do not feel bad for us getting a break or two.
But we are actaully converting our opportunities.
We may be getting a few more of them, but we are making the most of them. and you guys are not to the same extent in either game so far.
In the esteemed history of the Red Wings, to have achieved what they have as often as they have, the Hockey Gods have smiled on you plenty.
1-3 on our PP chances and we killed 8 Pentilties
So ya tonight we did our job the refs just gave the sharks way to many chances its hard not to score when u have 2 5 on 3s and were in the box for the first half of the 3rd.
Point is 16 PP for you guys in 2 games isn’t even funny any more its just sad
Again
the Boyle blunder was a break for the Avs. Lidstrom stick breaking was a break for SJ tonight.
Having a parade of phantom, borderline, and once or twice legitimate penalties in the third period of a tight game is not a break. It’s fucking ridiculous.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never had much ill-will towards the Sharks. I don’t mind them at all. But they and the zebras are doing everything they can to change my perception of the Sharks. The diving in the first and second was ridiculous, and should have negated most of the PP opportunities they got. They should have been embarrassed by it.
And the third period was surreal. Everything changed after that phantom call on Bertuzzi with 15 minutes to play. That led to the 5-3, eventual game tying goal, and the parade to the box.
All things considered, we’re doing alright on special teams. The unbelievable disparity does not constitute a “break.” It constitutes officiating ineptitude.
We are going to need to clear some cap space next year
so that we will have some money with which to pay the refs. That is obviously the way to the Cup
First playoff success the clown has had his whole career.
Career-long joke, Thornton is. Waste of talent.
It's not even his success
What has he done to create these wins? He scored on a 3 on 1 created by a broken stick? I can do that and I barely skate.

When I said "Bigger" than Jumbo
I was refering to “The Big Pavelski”. He is a beast, and there ain’t nothing you can say to deny that simple fact!!!
I will say that until a team wins on the road, then it is status quo, so I am not overly confident. I know what the Wings are capable of.
But it was great to be there 2 rows from the ice. And it is great to feel the “playoff success taste” as you so eliquently put it.
What a game!!!
The adrenaline is still rushing through my veins.
Dude.........
At the faceoff circle, 2 rows from the ice. The side where the Sharks attck twice.
UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i were a sharks fan i probably would have started crying and shit, i dont think you can get any more lucky than that in getting a ticket
wow
that is awesome. even had a front row view to probably a few of those controversial calls. doesnt get any better than that

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!1
I am just glad the Sharks won.

Long Rant
I have no idea what to say about these refs this series or the NHL in general. Tonight was a joke Detroit should have won both of these games yet are sitting down 0-2. This shit their calling hockey is a joke. My love for the game and for the Red Wings is probally enough to watch atleast one more game if you can even call the last 2 things games. Their is no reason you can get away with calling 14Penilties 10 of which against one team. I complain about the refs but after this game what else can u possibly say about the refs were a joke and if the NHL does not fire every single one of them then I have no hope for the league whats so ever and what ever.
As for the sharks I had at one point had a load of respect for the team I made jokes in the past about them chocking in the playoffs but only because it was a common theme. But besides that I thought the orgination was ok. But after just 2 games I have nothing but ill will towards a punch of people who give hockey players a bad name to the game and to sportsmanship. DIving every fucking time a wings player is near you is not how you should be or more importantly want to win a hockey game. The sharks team isn’t even in the same league as the Red Wings I don’t think in a real hockey game where they don’t dive they could even beat our AHL team. Their version of hockey is horrible and has no plays in the NHL let alone the playoffs
If you love the game and the red wings, you're going to keep watching.
That is all.
Yeah, the refs were shitty tonight, but they’ve been shitty the other way in our favor before. And if you don’t believe me, ask other teams’ fans.
It’s the NHL, and that’s the way it is. For better or for worse.
So yeah, get pissed off. And then wake up tomorrow and realize that the officiating sucks for everybody. We just got the sharp end of the stick tonight.
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I know and I will
Just extremly pissed need to rant just not sure if I can watch a “game” like tonights again
I hear you
I’m, in a way, glad I didn’t get to actually see the game. It would have been even more frustrating than it was to merely listen to Ken and Paul.
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Screw that.
I love the game and the Wings, and I will not be watching. Not the Wings, or anybody. I’m tired of investing my time, energy, and emotions to be constantly frustrated and disappointed by circumstances outside of the players.
These playoffs had me more excited than any in a decade. I’ve been holed up in my house and watched almost every game of the playoffs for every team so far and it’s been disgusting to see how fucking horrible the officiating is league-wide. It has whittled away my desire to support this league anymore. The NHL is about to lose this lifelong fan for ignoring the glaring inconsistencies in their own system, and praising themselves for making it better.
I'm sorry
The refs were shitty, don’t get me wrong, but this was nothing the sharks did. Players dive, a bit. The wings dive, a bit (yes, really. Go read our postgames from game 1 for some examples, if you really care). The sharks dive, a bit.
The refs tonight were twitchy with the whistle. 10-4 is bad, but when 3 of the 4 called against the sharks were crap (Heatley’s interference was ridiculous), I think the judgment you need to be making is not that the sharks are terrible, but that the refs sucked. And they did. And it may have been lopsided, I didn’t see most of the third period. But that doesn’t reflect on the sharks.
i think the heatley interference call was a bit of a make-up call. but by then the damage was already done and the wings were on their heels. and the whole concept of make-up calls is just wrong imho. the NHl should just hire refs that arent legally blind
yeah
thats what i mean by needing refs that can actually see
Just saying that
Doesn’t change the effect those BS calls had. Marleau’s phantom roughing was not as game-altering as the phantom Bertuzzi penalty that led to a 5-3. And although there were BS calls both ways, that doesn’t change the fact that the disparity between the amount of BS calls made was huge. To call 10 penalties on the second least penalized team in the regular season makes no sense. Do the refs really think the Wings are suddenly playing dirty? That now they’ve completely changed their game?
Plus, the BS Heatley interference only negated an already BS call. It didn’t actually give the Wings a full PP. The only way 10 penalties should ever be called on a single team is if that team is playing recklessly and at risk of injuring folks. We’ve played the Ducks a lot in recent post-seasons, and I don’t remember that dirty team ever racking up 10 penalties. This was just…wow…there are no words for this game.
Diving is just bad
I hated it when Howard did it and I hated it when the sharks did it 5 times its not sportsmanship and it doesn’t belong in hockey. And yes 2 of the 4 calls against the Sharks were bad, but so were 8 of the 10 against the wings, since most wouldn’t have happen had not a horrible call been called in the first place.
Sharks dive a lot and get away with it is my point and diving no matter who does it annoys me since that’s not what hockey is.
if this shit continues its going to be really hard for me watch hockey
at least until crosbys boyfriend is fired
I think they have perfected their art by now.

Hate to say it
… but your boys had a mental meltdown in the last two minutes. They completely fucked up when the goalie was pulled by passing the puck back outside the Sharks blueline, again when they took the too many men penalty, and at least three more times when it appeared the whole team forgot they were allowed to ice the puck on the PK which would have enabled a long shoot-in. They kept trying to pass it up ice in the usual way, and very badly at that. They came withion an ace of a second, too-many men penalty along the way. It was a fire drill all the way around.
I’ll be the first to say they got screwed by the refs, but the team has to keep its composure, especially when they still have a chance to win. That endgame was ugly ugly ugly.

Yeah, but those 2 minutes were nothing like the other 58.
You used to have to kill someone to have to go down 5-on-3, the Sharks have 3 in two games? Post-lockout reffing result in more offense, but pre-lockout was a better product when penalties typically alternated and were called when a real scoring chance was prevented by one.
It was very ugly
Although I think exhaustion may have played a role. I just think we looked entirely out of sorts after all those PKs. Never got anything going again.
Yeah, I’d agree with that.
The word is discombobulated.

I'm not worried
until we lose in Detroit. I honestly and truly believe that when the game is just played Detroit has been better. Period. 5-5 we have been better for the two games. Now we have to just translate that “better” into the win column…somehow.
I usually don't complain about the officiating because in the long run it evens out....
….so it’s a good thing the NHL have decided to make this a best of 13 series.
How am I this depressed...

YEAH, SURE BUDDY
WAAAAHHHHHHHHH
2 of the SJ penalties (Marleau and Heatley) were complete BS, but I guess we didn’t notice those
SELECTIVE MEMORY
Scotty Bowman used to lecture the refs between whistles on when he wanted a call to go his way. The Wings have been on the receiving side of more BS calls than any sports team since I have been alive. I guess we forgot that.
SELECTIVE MEMORY
The interviewer asked Kronwall (or Helm, one of your Eurotrash import players) about being dominated for the first 2 periods, and he didn’t seem to disagree. Maybe your TV sets were on mute, or….

Ask ANY OTHER HOCKEY FAN OUTSIDE OF DETROIT, AND THEY WILL TESTIFY THAT THE MEDIA AND THE OFFICIALS HAVE HELD THE WINGS HANDS FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS… som please excuse me when I say WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

This is the type of game
where I really want to hear postgame comments from players and coach. I missed the 3rd period, and in hindsight am grateful…because I’m getting angry just hearing the obviously biased penalty stats…from otehrs and reactionary posts. TEN POWERPLAYS?!?! FOR ONE TEAM?!? That never EVER happens. Ever. Not even to a team that has Chris Pronger on it. geez, makes it look like Detroit’s the dirtiest team in the league…
Words cannot describe how I feel right now…and I didn’t even watch the 3rd period! That’s why I really want to hear the presser. Is there a link to it? Somewhere? Anywhere?
weeeeeellllllll
ok so I’m from the Sharks side of things and I can certainly admit that the officiating was really bad at best and a lot of the penalties to the wings were undeserved. The goalie interference calls were especially terrible. Having said that, you have to admit that the boarding call to Patty was rediculous, as was the goalie interference to Heater. Hockey is hockey and bad calls will be made on both sides. Part of the game is getting past that. It’s gonna be an interesting series and it is in no way over. Nice to get the win, though I would have liked the officiating to be better so there wouldn’t be as much reason for saying it wasn’t a fair game. See ya in Detroit
Yes, I will concede that Scotty Nichol is a little puke. But now he's our little puke.
"Finally, a hooking penalty! I've been waiting for this all year. Don't do it Drew. Have to-- he just got called for being a hooker."--Drew Remenda
i can agree with that
and we could have gotten past that, but we just collapsed in the last minute and change.
unfuckingbelievable
i am speechless…was watching game at my friend’s house and even he was going nuts on the refs and he is an islanders fan…getting unlucky as hell all series…Lidstrom broken stick leading to a 3 on 1 capped it off…oh well Wings will win the next 4…take it to the bank…Sharkies can’t continue to get lucky like this all series

LETS GO WINGS!
There are bads calls then there are WTF calls.
There are no words in existence to describe the calls in this series. Hell, I consider 5 penalties in one game high for most teams. The Red Wings need to make a statement in Detroit with a pair of dominate wins at least by 3 goals in each game.
unfortunately
I still think the sharks probably have enough talent to win a game or two from the wings without help from the refs. the problem is, they haven’t had to do this yet and we’ve had trouble winning at home lately. Even if Detroit picks up the next two… I dunno. I think (knock on wood) the officiating probably can’t get any worse and things will even out over time which I hate to say but I think means a legit SJS win or two.
No Limits.
You have my sympathies...
Avs fan here coming off a series of the EXACT SAME BS. I can’t think of a single team in the NHL that deserves an ass kicking more than the Sharks right now, but for some reason the refs in this league are determined not to let that happen.
I’m a hockey fan above all else, and I was hoping that other teams (yes, even the wings) would be spared this freaking shit. Guess that’s not happening…
Sigh. God help me I can’t believe I’m saying this, but go wings. Normal allegiances be damned, the Sharks deserve to lose.

Um, no
What happened tonight was different. The avs got penalized 2-1 because the sharks were in their zone like 3 times as much. And you get called more in your own zone, because you take more penalties in your own zone.
But the wings aren’t the avs. I don’t care if, as a wings fan, you’re worried about a slant (and yeah, 10-4, there probably was one to some degree, though I still think the wings deserved over half of those penalties). The big picture here is that slant or not, the reffing was atrocious going both directions. Heatley’s and Marleau’s penalties come to mind. And since people complain all the time about slants going towards the red wings, I’m going to make the bold claim that the bigger issue here is that the reffing needs to not be crap. And yes, I recognize that having just got the win, it’s easy to say that. So all this paragraph is really going to say is “can these particular refs not make it to the next round? kthanks.”
Also, I think the sharks deserved this win, but maybe I’m looking through teal-tinted glasses and I don’t really want to argue that.
I don’t think you really deserve anything when you get 10 power play chances…just saying…

Yeah, that’s the part I didn’t want to argue. I’m going to say that X of the ten were legit and then we get into the exact sort of semantics that lead to people blaming games (normal ones mind you, this oddity aside) on the refs, just because the game-winning goal came off a ref call. Is X really so different from 10, what about when this one thing happened, if the ref hadn’t this, then by some intricate chain of causality, this other thing happens, etc. Not productive arguments.
Agreed.
Shitty officiating going both ways, I really wish the refs woulda just let the boys play. Believe or not Bertuzzi’s penalties annoyed me despite it being a benefit to my team. And of course as a Sharks fan the minutes for Heater and Marleau had me yelling at the tv, so I can sympathize with the frustration of you guys in Detroit.
As far as the Avs go.. ahhh… I’ll withhold harsh words to this Farsi fellow, but I can’t help but laugh. Watching tonight’s game was like watching a clash of the titans. Watching the avs games, specifically when they were taking most of the penalties, was watching one team getting utterly dominated and forced into submission. Some real BDSM action.
Deserved or not deserved? Every goal (save perhaps for Pav’s jab-frenzied second) was clean and the result of skill and hard work. (Dunno if you guys caught that between the legs by Clowe) Even short handed Detroit is a force to be reckoned with.. /shrug .. trying to blame our successes tonight solely on ref’s whistles is pretty ludicrous.
Understandable though, I’d be saying the same thing if we had those numbers of calls.
Next game should be interesting, to say the least. I do hope the officiating improves though so we can just have a good solid hockey that both sides can be happy with.
I've said this elsewhere
but simply saying the officiating was bad both ways (which it was) does not change the disparity in the number of terrible calls. Nor does it change the crucial moments in which terrible calls were made.
If they had called 8 or 9 penalties on the Sharks and this game ended up the same way, I’d be more inclined to say the better team one. Right now, I have no idea, because I haven’t seen these two teams play 5-5 very often. And when they do, the 5-5 is changed by the overarching effects some phantom call had on the flow of the game.
Neither the Sharks nor the Wings play a style that should result in 10 penalties. Bad officiating doesn’t hurt your team nearly as bad when that bad officiating means you’re on the powerful more than twice as often.
Brobz hit the nail on the head.
I’ll do my best to stay out of tinfoil hat territory for the next few days, but it’ll be hard. Shitty officiating is one thing, but its effect is doubled when every single call goes against the one team.
Also, while I appreciate the palliative tone of Dawg’s post, I think “hockey that both sides can be happy with” went out the window last night, at least for me. That’s two playoff games—TWO—that we’ve lost now because of dodgy calls. I don’t care who you are, no series should have 25 PPs over two games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs unless they’re friggin shooting each other out there. Like, with guns.
No Limits.
