OT: Red Wings Beat Kings on Fluke Goal/ Blown Call
They don't ask how, they ask how many, I guess.

It was a crazy shot and rebound that shouldn't have counted, but I guess that stuff does occassionally happen. Does seem silly that you can have replays for some goals and not others, all based on the context in which the puck entered the net.

awesome bounce off the net! much more enjoyable being on the right side of those than the wrong side (i.e. horror wisco half court shot ftl they showed on espn earlier)

whoops
January 18th, 2014 at 10:28 PM ^
Same thing happened vs San Jose a few years back. Nice to see the wings get the lucky bounce for a change

they mention that the front official at the goal line didn't follow the puck, but this call was on the back official. The front referee's assignment is the goal line, crease, goalie and any players in the immediate vicinity, the back referee should have had his eye on the puck and the maybe both/definitely the back linesman should have been keeping an eye out as well.
Oh well, though. These things happen and it's better to be the beneficiary than not.

Don't know if it is something personal or not, but I am a diehard Red Wings fan and I'm finding it rather difficult to get into the team this year. It's just seemed uninspiring thus far.

I watch and follow up on scores and recaps when I miss a game but I'm definitely not as insterested as I used to be. That goes for hockey in general, which is odd considering i grew up on the sport.
Normally, I'd go to 3-4 games a year and on a night like tonight, I'd switch over to the HNIC broadcast but i'm watching Modern Family reruns on USA instead.

as long as Kronwall called "Bank".
January 18th, 2014 at 10:36 PM ^
That was some bullshit, but I'll take it since the Wings NEED points right now.
January 18th, 2014 at 10:38 PM ^
Bring back the glowing puck, just to help out the officials.
January 18th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
That was one of the biggest breaks I've seen in recent memory. I'll take it.

What is the OP's quote from again?
January 19th, 2014 at 2:10 PM ^
It's not from anything. It's something that my friend's brother said to our hockey team when I was young, and I thought it was funny.
January 18th, 2014 at 10:59 PM ^
Just a lot of talk. Maybe an evil eye behind their masks.

Howard: "We were just discussing who we were bringing to Sochi. I told him I'm bringing my parents & sister, I asked who he's bringing"

In other NHL news, there were 142 minutes handed out in the first two seconds of the Cancuks-Flames game.

Tortorella just went into Calgarys hallway. He's going to get suspended for that crap.
January 18th, 2014 at 11:44 PM ^
I've always liked him. Wouldn't want him as a coach but I think he's entertaining.
January 18th, 2014 at 11:22 PM ^
thanks, hockey gods.
January 18th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
they have had a crap sandwich this year with injuries and agonzing 1 goal losses. about time we squeaked one out. go wings go.
January 18th, 2014 at 11:36 PM ^
In former Michigan hockey player news, Jacob Trouba had two goals tonight, including the game winner in OT. It would have been great to see him still at Michigan this year, but I'm glad he's having success in the NHL.

Subject is a bit misleading. That goal tied the game. But the Wings need some puck luck. And we were owed one off the net. Pretty sweet that it bounced off his back and in. What are the chances?
January 19th, 2014 at 12:12 AM ^
I'm not sure why the Kings are always the victim to 4 incompetent officals not being able to pay attention to the puck. See Ryan Clowe incident a few years ago where he reached out from the bench to knock the puck away from Stoll breaking up an odd-man rush. There are 4 of you...someone should be able to follow what is happening.
January 19th, 2014 at 12:50 AM ^
world is that not a reviewable play?
January 19th, 2014 at 1:23 AM ^
Dan O'Halloran didn't fuck us over...again.
January 19th, 2014 at 10:32 AM ^
Not how you want to win, but at this point I'll take anything. About time we have some good luck this season
