Anaheim Ducks at the Detroit Red Wings - Round 2, Game One of the Western Conference Playoffs in Detroit.

Mike Brown of the Duck hits Jiri Hudler of the Wings and he's kicked out of the game and receives a 5 minute major penalty. The Wings scored on the ensuing powerplay.

Please just stop crying. Celebrate your win over San Jose because you are not going to beat the Wings. They are better than the Ducks. The Ducks are hockey THUGS the Wings are hockey PLAYERS. Don't make this more embarrassing for you than you have to, and try to cry and whine about the refs. GO WINGS!!

Another retarded Wings homer. Yawn. Move to Sweden.

I asked you a question regarding Lidstrom, why keep dodging it?

Again I ask, how did a ref assist Lidstrom on his two goals?

[HockeyPacific]

I'm not dodging anything and have no idea what you're trying to get at. I don't know *how* "a" ref assisted on Lidstrom's goals. You're crazy.

@ryanrevell, since it happened after the puck went in the net, the goal should have counted and Anaheim should have had a powerplay after the fact.

This isn't the Kennedy assassination.

you do know the one anaheim guy behind him forced him straight, and he really didn't have anywhere to go but straight into the goalie. Also, let's not forget the "intent to blow the whistle" call that series. Remember, for every one you bring to the table, I can bring one. I'm not saying wings would've won that "intent" game, because that was a game tying score, and you can't say the ducks would have won if that penalty was only 2 minutes, or didn't happen

The refs are always against the wings, The red wings are one of the classiest teams in the league.

the Red Wings are a bunch of pricks!

and another thing that annoys me is how some games are worth 2 points and others are worth 3 its just stupid. and the reason for this is because for some reason the nhl decided to give teams a point for losing its like saying: "oh you lost the game in a shootout but thats ok we'll give you a point for trying "

for gods sake this is a professional sport a mans sport of hockey not some little league baseball season where all the kids get trophies for participating

[ryanrevell]

the puck had already gone in before franzen plowed into him...it would be different if the puck had not been shot yet or someone else was shooting...thus no interference

Funny how you neglect to mention the game 3 "no goal" call at the end of the third period.

Funny.

I find it hilarious that hossa's called off goal is not mentioned here.
