OST: Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators, Western Conf Quarterfinals

[frydorov]

For a league that constantly empowers referees based on their intent to blow the whistle, it's incredibly hypocritical for them to ignore that Weber's intent was to break Zetterberg's face in a cheap dirty way.

The league also empowers officials to give a guy two more minutes because of blood.

Wow. Got lucky there.

[phillyfan]

Nice!

[MoOff24]

thats the first lead we've had in 8 games...

[phillyfan]

Playing well. should have 3.

[motorcityjoe611]

You would want him to get fines for swinging his stick but not hitting anyone?

?
No my point was, if he swung his stick at his head but missed thus not hurting Z, by these same standards a fine would've sufficed when clearly the intent was to injure. I'm over it though. This game will continue to be F'd up by uneven application of its own rules

[ACfromtheD]

Awesome shot by Emmerton.

[LionSB06]

Shaky start to the game but they got a few bounces and made the Preds pay.

[Waxing Gibbous]

FWIW, Mickey sounds a lot less whiney / more guarded in his criticism tonight. Might be because they are leading, but I wonder if someone got on him about Wed. Seems to me he's biting his tongue.

[MoOff24]

^ probably because the refs aren't atrocious tonight.
