Stupid refs gave the series away. Detroit in 7.

Just because you have ruled the league for the past 10 years doesn't make you invincible....you are blowing the series, so deal with it and stop makin excuses for it.

It's not an excuse, or have you not noticed the difference in penalty minutes each game? It is severly lop-sided and Detroit was 2nd in the league for least penalty minutes in the regular season. Interesting.....

     Trends in the regular season don't matter (Sharks fans know this). I'm aware Detroit has received more penalties, in the last game Detroit received 6 while the Sharks received 3. Refs are gonna make stupid/phantom calls at times (Detroit has received a few, although the sharks have gotten a couple). Like for example the "call" against Cotoure last game regarding the puck in the crease....phantom call (i'm pointing out a phantom call against the Sharks due to the perceived bias that the sharks don't get called for those in this series).

 

     Regardless of how the refs call the game, any team has to be able to respond and play. If we're gonna go with regular season stats how good was the Wings penatly kill ratio during the regular season?
