As a casual hockey fan and a Detroit sports fan I have to ask.... On a scale of 1 to Lions how much did the refs screw the Red Wings today and how much can I legitimately complain about them?
@ROTL_UK You can complain all you want. They needed the Capitals to lose, but they didn’t. Wings managed the win, but when you get right down to it, they lost two late season games to the Caps. Those were the back breaking games.
@ROTL_UK 5. We have some gripe. But at the same time. Philadelphia gifted Washington the win.
@ROTL_UK Essentially 0 in the end. The Philadelphia Flyers coach fucked it. But it was a crazy complicated situation. Kinda like City and United on championship Sunday years ago. Lot going on simultaneously.
@ROTL_UK 1. Wings screwed themselves with late season slump where they lost 8 straight. Win even 1 of those games and they are in.
@ROTL_UK 6 or 7 game loosing streak killed them. After 82 games it's not the Refs to blame
@ROTL_UK The Philly no goal call was terrible, terrible. Refs are taught that because the object of the game is to score a goal, they can't miss those calls, and they did. Changed the whole outlook of the Philly - Washington game.
@ROTL_UK I can’t complain when a team doesn’t get off the plane for a month straight. They dug this grave. At least with the lions they tried each week.
@ROTL_UK Lions x10. They should’ve won in regulation which would’ve told Philly that they were eliminated already and they pulled their goalie as we went to OT
