My Wings... they are sucking.
What does it take to bring out the inner Roman in the Wings? It's time.
Officiating. It sucks. However, it sucks league wide. I watched several other matches due to the late start and the inept Wings coverage, Thanks Gary. Ass. All season we watched as seemingly invisible hook/holding/cross checks were called. If a goalie looked crosseyed at Homers butt it was a penalty. A different style of play we were told. Emphasize speed and stick handling. So teams adjust and the Wings in particular thrive in the environment.
Then the playoffs start and it all goes out the window. Huet has been bowled over more times than a nine pin at Orchard Lanes in Pontiac. Brodeur gets tackled and no call. Last nite we had Tutu mugging people in the corner for spare change. No calls. You can bitch about the non calls against your team but the overall application seems to point towards the league saying to the ref crews, "Let em play". So you have teams like the Wings waiting for the ref to do his job and he doesn't, because, well he is doing his job.
The other alternative is to believe that the ref is mind numbingly stupid and/or biased. I am not ready to go there, yet. Thanks, Gary Ass.

So it's time for the Wings to give it back. Downey time? Maybe, because now the Preds have to learn respect and that won't be easy.
