Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Select Quotes From Abel 2 Yzerman

How the hell does Vlasic walk down the street, much less skate in NHL games with balance like that?

Bert is obviously a mindless murderous sonofabitch and needs to be locked away or, he’ll make you fall on him.

Umm...

you have to be shitting me, this is absolutely fuching insane. Iv lost any shred of faith Iv had in the NHL

RAPE

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but the NHL wants the Sharks to win this game. There is no reasonable answer to this officiating.

The San Jose Dives…

That wasn’t a weak call against Heatley. That was a consistent call against Heatley. How many times have Wing players mistakenly hit Nabokov and been called? Heatley blatantly runs into Howard, and Jimmah had to ask for the damn penalty.

Weak call? Fuch you. Now, Wings, you gotta score.

Fuch a cheesedick POS like Pavelski...that mark needs an asterisk for all the help he got from the refs.

Someone ask Todd how much cock you have to suck to get a five on three in this series.  Motherfuckingchrist, I hate this league.  Too bad the Wings are in it.

Agree Twig. Even PPs and at WORST this game is a 5-3 Wings victory.

Hab’s beat Rosby and his penguins today.
Rosby and Gary are upset
Gary calls refs for Sharks/Wings game
We see some of the worst officiating ever
Wings lose.

Right now this is my theory, and I don’t care if it is farfetched or over dramatic or any that shit.

Sharks’ fans are the lowest common denom.... One tried to start a fight with me (gave me a big shoulder bump) WHILE I WAS CARRYING MY 19 MONTH OLD SON.  Fuching as classless as the refs were.

Helm got knocked the fuch out in the first with a stick to the chin by the bench. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he played that whole game dizzy. He’s a champion and a future franchise player. I can forgive him not playing 100% when he looked totally rubberlegs in the first.

Things that would be tremendous: (1) if Dany Heatley drove Pavelski home tonight.

 

we got destroyed in the faceoffs and we were doing the chasing… that 5 on 3 was the game changer though… my spirit is broken… no more witty one liners, no more colorful jabs at the officiating, not even lindsay soto’s beautiful boo… eyes can save me now… im gonna go find a job work there for 30+ years and die…

That one's actually kind of sad.

For balance:

Come on guys, there were some bad calls bu that’s no excuse. and there were plenty of good calls. That last three were all legit. Clearly’s slashing that broke the stick, Flip’s trip and the too many men were all legitimate penalties in the third period of a playoff game when the wings could least afford it. Flame away, but these guys are making too many mental errors

 

As an outsider, I can't tell you how much I appreciate watching Red Wings' fans complain about penalties, dives and picks from another team.  Awesome.

There was a wings fan siting in my section during game one. I was sure he was going to get rocked by these four guys sitting in front of me. Every time the wings would score he would stand up and say their going to choke and shit like that. After the last goal be Detroit one of the dudes told him why don’t we go outside and I will show you what a choke looks like. He basically shut up after that.

I just wonder how the Sharks fans would feel if the calls went the other way? Not saying that as an excuse, just wondering how you would feel if it was the other way around? The officiating in that game was atrocious. Still, officiating is not an excuse for a loss. You have to be able to rise above it and win the game. The things that I was worried about before this series started (Wings problems in the faceoff circle namely and a certain Joe Pavelski) are really the problems. Both games have definitely been exciting and we’ll see what happens tomorrow night.

by hockeychic on May 3, 2010 1:06 PM PDT reply actions  

as another pointed out, Sharks fans tend to blame themselves vs others for anything that goes wrong. So less likely you would see the whining at the refs, but instead the whining at the Sharks players.

Well, we’d be upset at the calls as they are happening, especially the stupid ones. But at least on FTF, we tend to bitch about our own players (Captain Hook, Staubitz, Huskins…plenty of stupid penalties to go around). And we wouldn’t blame a loss on the refs…that’s just stupid.

But there would be complaining, at least during the game, and really only on the blatantly bad calls (Bertuzzi’s penalties, Marleau’s and Heatley’s 2nd, the no-call on the Pavs crosscheck to the back of the head).

This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.

ducks fan would look like morons complaining about the refs…we take soooo many stupid penalties…..1 out of every 100 penality they call on us might be a bad call…

heres how ducks penalties shake out:

75% = getzlaf doing somthing stupid in the offensive zone

20% = perry goaltender interference

4% = other guys doing somtihng stupid

1% = bad call on the ref

but yea blaming the refs is pussy shit…just because the wings live/die on the PP doesnt mean you deserve more

I would say we actually get away with a lot more then what we get called for. Which is kind of scary if you think about it.

by JohnQPhats on May 3, 2010 3:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

The officiating has definitely been bad – that goes both ways, but it seems to be going harder on the Wings. It sucks.

But that’s no excuse. If you know the refs are making bad calls, its on you to 1) not put yourself in a position to give the ref the opportunity to make a judgement call, and 2) to do everything else you possibly can to make up for the fact that you’re not getting the calls that night. That includes hustling to every lose puck, which is something the Wings have not done at all this series – they’re making bad passes and losing every single loose puck in their own zone. If they lose this series, it’s on their shoulders, because they’re not playing good enough to win right now.

The officiating doesn’t help, but more than anything, the ones being hurt by the officiating are the fans in general, because we’re missing more of what could be a really fantastic series as it gets reduced to a series of power plays over inconsistent calls that hinder the physicality of the game. If the Wings are going to lose, I’d really prefer it happen in a really good back and forth kind of exciting series, rather than just playing 2 periods – one with SJ on the PP, and one with DET on the PP.

I’m generally staying out of this whole officiating battle because, well, officiating is generally inconsistent throughout the whole league and it just shows up one way or the other on different games. If you tracked one team objectively on a random game in the playoffs, I’m sure you’d find plenty to complain about.

But in any case, I totally agree with the sentiment above. I’m very much against “putting the whistle away” because I think that winds up just turning it into rugby on ice. But there’s a serious lack of consistency, and unfortunately, fans can’t really do much about it.

whoops, obviously I meant consistency.

by hockeychic on May 3, 2010 3:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

But why call all of the penalties even if they have no impact on the play?

I like when refs don’t call incidental or meaningless penalties in the playoffs. During the regular season it creates more scoring which is what the fans like, but in the postseason, it is better to have penalties when they matter, but as you said its variable and there are no rules, so it generates inconsistency.

by Cool Dudes on May 3, 2010 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

“Meaningless” is kind of subjective. It may happen away from the play but it could have interfered with someone creating a scoring chance because they didn’t get that extra step away. Only calling penalties “when they matter” doesn’t “let them play”; it creates the ultimate subjective discretion for the ref’s control, as only the ref knows how/why a penalty will be called rather than establishing the refs. In short, the refs WILL dictate the outcome of the game because they change the standard and application of the rules.

Call it by the book and keep it consistent. Then we’re all on an even playing field.

BTW — this is your DAY-EARLY WARNING.

If you do not live in Detroit or the Bay Area and are relying on Versus to watch G3 — THINK AGAIN. The Sharks/Wings game is at 4:30, but Versus will be showing the Pittsburgh game at 4:00 instead — only when that game ends (I’m pretty sure) will they go to BoC action.

So find a friend with Center Ice or get thee to a sports bar — for me, CI is the same channels as MLB Extra Innings, so it should be carried; you’ll just have to convince some dumbshit to put the game on a TV.

…the league throwing away Rule 47.22 after Game 5 of the Sabres-Bruins series because it would have put a star player out of a critical playoff game. Nothing that happened on Sunday even came close to Colin Campbell revoking Zdeno Chara’s automatic suspension, especially after Chara gleefully admitted that he did exactly what the rule was expressly made to prevent.

I just realized something....

I just realized that this whole entire BS call thing is sort of the best case scenario for Ducks/Kings fans. Think about it. First off, watching Red Wings fans bitch is kind of funny. Second of all, it kind of invalidates the Sharks win, if they win this series. It will forever be known as the series with the bullshit calls. Granted it’s based partially off of bullshit, but whatever, it’s still funny to us. In short, both teams end up looking bad. Could we ask for anything more?

I think they’ve started paying people to enter Detroit these days.

Well, I live in Orange County, so I’m not too sure about Buffalo right now. I’m actually a Ducks fan. And hey, not saying I believe it. Sharks have played great in this series if you ask me. But really, when the Ducks and Wings were playing, did Sharks fans cut either team any slack? It’s just nice to watch Wings fans and Sharks fans hate each other so much. Plus I’m enjoying the non playoffs right now.

I really have to stop assuming based on Avys...

When the Ducks and Wings were playing….honest to god…I can only talk about myself…but when they were playing I was still huddled in the dark corner of my closet until that September so I think I cut you guys plenty of slack by being emotionally and physically dead. Enjoy your vacation from hockey only a handful of months left until it starts up again for you. :)

Thank you. Good luck to you guys. I’m seriously relieved that there’s now a good chance that we won’t have to sit through another Wings vs Pens final. There’s no Marian Hossa to laugh at this time.

This played like a greatest hits record of A2M.

Fantastic stuff… I had to sign off of Twitter last night because I was tired of all the “waaaah, refs!” tweets. Don’t play sloppy and give your self the chance to be called on stuff like that, and you won’t have that problem.

I absolutely can’t wait for game 4. Karma’s a bitch, Wings fans. Keep whining, and you’ll get swept at home. Which you deserve.
