next time you see a Red Wings fan whining about the officiating in the 2009 SCF (and they all do it) kindly point out that gift forever and ever.

But remember, Detroit, the NHL is always conspiring against you. #tinfoil

[shmenguin]

so...take the goal out of the mix for a sec. it's conceivable that a whistle should have blown for matching minors there, right? dude got body slammed, sure. but he did throw a punch afterwards. it's not the worst call i've ever seen. it just happened at the worst time i've ever seen.

[shafnutz05]

I'm pumped for overtime. Anyone else?

How can you see such an event if your "literally in tear"?

Excessive eyedropping.

[Shakes]

I so wanna see Detroit win so Chicago and there fans flip.

Yup. This would turn into one of Those Moments.

Just a bad call. Saad did nothing.

[Matthew Monstar]

To be fair... interference should have been called for Howard getting ran into.

To be fair, Detroit interferes on every single play and a few minutes before the goal, CLEARLY highsticked Kane in the face directly in front of a referee.

So why wasn't that called?

Why did they wait until a goal was scored to make ANY call at all???


They don't call the game as they see it, they call the game based on situation plays.

[mac5155]

It's just not a call that's made in the final minute of a game 7

[npv708]

Datsyuk or Shaw

Yeah, that's one I think you HAVE to call. Can't take a goalie off his feet when there aren't any Wings around to blame it on.

Yeah, i mean I'm not excusing that horrendous call that just happened either.

[Matthew Monstar]

Hilarious watching that again......He saw the goal scored and then simultaneously calls the penalties.....


Wow man, thankfully it's not my team involved with this game.

[FreeCandy44]

Mike Milbury.....wow.

aaaaaand nevermind. that wasn't a punch. hot garbage call.

[Shakes]

I was always think of a wave-off as a goal is scored in any game I'm watching. I was thinking, "Welp, that counts" just as Doc yelled "It's being waved off!"

Surreal moment.

[Fire0nice228]

AT BEST the goal should count and the play should have resumed at center ice 4v4. They've called penalties after goals before

[relantel]

They made the call because the Hawk threw a punch. Bad call? Nope. Usually gets made late a game? Also nope. It's not the ref's fault it occurs on a rush for one team. That type of thing happens all of the time when a call behind the play is made. I don't feel sorry for the Hawks. They'll probably win anyway.

I think the NHL believes that interference is an accepted part of Detroit's game plan. The refs probably feel they can't call a penalty on every play. They wouldn't have to. If they enforced it from the get-go the Wings would adjust unless they want to lose a lot.

I'm not seeing the punch. Not trying to be a jerk.

Interference is Babcock 101

I can already feel the Penguin conspiracy posts being typed out on HOF boards

Where is that back ref from?

That's what I love about the "well they can't call it every time".... Yeah, but if they call it the first few times, it will stop.

[Froggy]

little jabs like that happen dozens of times a game. They tend to let them go, especially after a guy cheap shots you in the face, and then jumps on you so you can't get up.

[Faubert5]

They didn't call the goalie interference or the blatant trip that led to the breakaway. Stuff happens, too bad for the Hawks. OT for us.

[Sarcastic]

Controversy.

Where is the Blackhawk he called it against from?
