Can't keep taking penalties though. 3 now.

[BrowntoBure]

Yeah don't even get me started on how this game is being officiated thus far, or all year for that matter. pp's are 18-6 in favour of Detroit. I will give them credit though, they are really good at not letting the refs see their constant hooks.
