Was that not the worst officiated hockey game ever?

Question

The wings were cheated at least twice in the 2nd by no calls and had to play through terrible officiating the rest of the game.

Answer 1

You know the officiating wasn't that great when even the NBC commentors go off of talking about Crosby and instead talk about how off the officiating was.

Which happened last night.  Good job refs, you deterred the talk off of Crosby and onto yourselves for a night.  But you didn't get any glowing praise.  You got um...criticism.

Answer 2

Gimme a break, lots of missed calls on Detroit as well. The Red Wings ran a lot of interference that was overlooked as well, in my opinion.

Answer 3

wutever, we won so who cares stop making excuses

Answer 4

its up there among the worst games ive seen.

Answer 5

Hi,

i had to sit through the bs my Rangers went through, but there was even more on the line this time, and i can't believe it.

even the commentators were upset.

game could have been over long ago if not for the bs.

Answer 6

quit ur crying sore loser both teams had some bad calls against idc what anyone says the pens won the game not the refs

Answer 7

it wasn't great but definately not the worst ever. You can say wings were cheated out of calls but also the pens got called for a penalty or two that never happened

Answer 8

Officiating has been horrid all year.......all teams and games.

Answer 9

the officiating has been shady throughout the playoffs but at least it's not the WWE / F

Answer 10

I agree. There were several missed calls. Hopefully the officials can pull their heads out of their collective @$$es and call the next game right.

Answer 11

yeah, crappy officiating, but get used to it, that will never change.  Hudler did bust that lip at the end that cost them the game.  But the other calls were bogus.  nothing should be called in OT at all.

Answer 12

I tell you..I agree that officiating has been bad both ways but it is clear to me that the refs make calls in the Pen'ss favor. Obviosly, taking those goals away from Holmstrom was unbelievable in the other series. The head coach of the Pen's cries during interviews about calls that should of been called and sure enough....he gets his way! I was at the game 5 and the Redwings walked all over the Pen's and then they win. Good thing for the Pen's, they scored on a legitimate penalty but sad for the ref's that they didn't score on a bulllsshit penalty...the ref's would of likes that better!!!!!

Answer 13

they were cheated like the capitals were cheated!

i hate reffs. they gang up on the teams i like!

even in football!

Answer 14

There were a few bad calls and non-calls for both teams, but true there were more against the Red Wings, but at the rate Fleury was going at I don't think he was going to let anything in anytime soon.

The calls weren't flamingly blatant, so that really wasn't the worst officiating ever.  It is hard to get over if you're a Wings fan, but it's happened all throughout the playoffs.

Answer 15

BOTH teams played through terrible officiating.

Hockey has been taken over by the politics of the entertainment industry.  Scratch that, ALL SPORTS have been taken over.

Answer 16

Agreed.

Answer 17

Give it up. There were a few no-calls on the Wings, too...The refs let them play, just as it should be...go to sleep, its late.

Answer 18

and the pens were too u must be a red wing fan gotta make excuses cause your team lost  

GO PENS

Answer 19

I asked a question regarding bad calls that went against the Red Wings and I will still disagree with you.  That was not the worst officiated game ever and the Wings had their power play and didn't score on it.
