Nice. What about the goals and who's controlling the play?

Howard let in a couple of softies. Play pretty much even.

Edit - refs are off their game.

2 deflection goals for wings, but I'd give them the advantage on Possession

Wow, got lucky there. This game looks good.

As long as he's a good owner I'd love to see that.

I had a buddy play for him and he loved the guy.

Pretty horribly reffed game so far. No PP's yet for the Canucks.

Most of Det's goals off tips in close.

Both Sedin goals were beauts. Burrows again did a lot of work on the first yet didn't factor on the score sheet. Got an A on the 2nd.

Higgins's goal was also a beaut, and capped of a very solid, hard working shift.

Tootoo with the charge on Tanev. Kassian skates right over and drops the gloves. Tootoo turtles immediately.

Thanks!

That goal probably should have counted—ref's trying to make up for the absolute poop call that lead to a goal.

Is there a team in the league that gets more bs calls given to them?
Then 5-3 to follow... Then a late powerplay to help tie or win the game.

NHL refs are a (frank)ing joke.

Thanks.

This is an absolute joke.

One more goal and the refs have a hatty

It's (frank)ing pathetic.

Looks like it's one of those cray cray games(goals and refs). Bad call on Weise, I expect the Canucks to get more PP's from here on out.

Oh my....

Hope AV takes the fine and gives a few good soundbites after the game. One of the worst officiated games I've seen.

high stick by Datsyuk.

Yup, nice hand-eye though.

ya, nice try though, up in the air in front of the net, why not try.

It's (frank)ing pathetic.

How larue missed the high stick is amazing, he was right there.

Detroit's gonna get called for anything right now, the refs always try to even up the PP's in Bettman's new NHL for parity.

refs could of let these two teams play, not they want to turn it into a cluster(frank) of penalties and b.s. calls.

Here come the make up calls.

It's only fitting our first PP is a weak call too

Like every other game this year, the refs are brutal

Kesler is such a (frank)ing bum. Just embarrassing.

Oof Garrison's puckhandling and passing skills are
