SpikeDDS Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 First we get the Datsyuk goal disallowed by a goaltender interference call a couple nights ago (see other thread) and now tonight Luke Glendening is called for goaltender interference when he is NOWHERE NEAR Holtby. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! It's one thing to get a call wrong. It's quite another to make stuff up!Thank goodness we won this game anyway, but Jiminy Crickets! What is this? Referee amateur night?DRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Quit your whining!! Tonight's call might have been the worst I've ever seen. That ref needs to be sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That ref Tim Peel also falsely penalized a Duck player (vatanenn?) for diving the other night... after being visciously high sticked right in the face!... He did throw his head back but who wouldn't?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqSSbsIuAvY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think those refs are from my ballhockey league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDI-Flyer Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Even The Hockey News has picked up on this... http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/worst-nhl-penalty-of-the-season-oh-yeah-definitely/ Each NHL season has its share of botched calls from referees. We know going in that, as mere mortals, they’re bound to make errors trying to make sense of a lightning-fast game. However, some blown calls are so egregious, they stand out for years afterward. And one of those calls went down Wednesday night during the game between the Washington Capitals and Detroit Red Wings. As a matter of fact, this might not have been one of the worst penalty calls of the year. It might be the worst in NHL history.It was early in the first period in Washington when Capitals goalie Braden Holtby left his crease and went behind the net. As he tried to get back into position, Holtby tripped over his own skates – and the Red Wings pounced immediately, with Drew Miller grabbing the puck and firing it into the Caps’ net.However – and inexplicably – the officiating duo of Mike Leggo and Ghislain Hebert decided the goal would not count and that Wings center Luke Glendening deserved a goalie interference penalty. As you can see, he deserved nothing of the sort:Again, we all know mistakes get made out there. But this one is particularly embarrassing. The Wings went on to win the game 4-2, but that’s no excuse for a call that boggles the mind to this degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 maybe the referees are based in Colorado ? if they're not maybe they make sure all connecting flights have a 4 hour layover in Denver ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ghislain Hebert decided the goal would not count and that Wings center Luke Glendening deserved a goalie interference penalty. Ghislain Hebert.....the only official in the world that can make Tim Peel look like a good ref....Tim Donaghy was heard to say from his cell WTF?!?! I went to jail for lesser mistakes than that........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Clueless Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well, to be fair to the refs, if we look at it from a different angle... Wait, no, that's even worse. So freakin' terrible. Wow. Also, he totally could've caught that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut722 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think the refs are trained to be so overly protective of goaltenders that anytime a goalie ends up on his tuchus, the whistle is blown purely out of reflex. The ref sees it out of the corner of his eye and automatically thinks that the goalie was knocked over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Tonight's call might have been the worst I've ever seen. That ref needs to be sent down. Stop your whining. That ref is my brother-in-laws best friend. We doubled downed at Vegas. All is right in the world again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Wow, that is worse. My first viewing I thought that there might have been a very little contact stick on skate behind the net (not enough to warrant a call, but a tap, maybe), but the reverse angle shows that Glendening's stick wasn't even close.

Commander Clueless Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So after the call off vs Buffalo, are the Wings on a GCOPG pace yet? (Goal Called Off Per Game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 So after the call off vs Buffalo, are the Wings on a GCOPG pace yet? (Goal Called Off Per Game).lol! Truthfully, the call of Franzen in the crease was legit, even if most of the others are not. It would be nice to see one or two go our way tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeDDS Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 So after the call off vs Buffalo, are the Wings on a GCOPG pace yet? (Goal Called Off Per Game).Well I know the Wings lead the league in GCOWATTGPG with 1.(That's goals called off without actually touching the goaltender per game.)
