the refs are calling the score and not the game. one problem, its a one goal game not a blowout. i hate complaining about the refs but omg this is atrocious
 
If that were the case I wouldn't mind.

It's the consistency that's the problem -- they favor certain teams and certain players. It could be my inability to fairly evaluate things, partly -- I might see it as worse than it actually is.

But not all of it is my Red Wings homerism. There's something there and it's gross. And I think it has something to do with the Wings' 25 years of success, but I also wonder: How many of the NHL's officials are Canadian? I'm going to guess it's a much higher percentage than that of Canadian players in the NHL.
I think you're over thinking this "Canadian" thing, not really sure what that has to do with anything considering the last 3 times we got screwed we're against American teams (Anaheim, Columbus, Utah)..

So yeah , not sure I agree with the point you're making...
 
So on the other end a flat out grab on the power plays not called but that's s penalty. I hate lazy game management refs.
 
28 out of 35 NHL referees are Canadian.

That's incredible.

How many of those do you suppose were Detroit Red Wings fans? How many grew up despising the Wings because throughout their entire childhood the Wings made the playoffs every year and the Maple Leafs were garbage?
 
This PK is preposterously bad. And there’s really no reason for it. In their heads, low IQ plays. Like that goal was way way too wide open. Our players just aren’t playing smart, and haven’t for awhile, and if you aren’t going to play smart you need to play really physical. Which we also aren’t doing.
 
Love how we keep other teams in the game hangin around when we outplay outshoot them. Isn't it so much fun?
