I was watching the end of this game and was shocked. What were the refs even looking at? It was so clear. There was a long delay after Kronwall shot it off Stoll's stick into the netting, where do they think the puck went? So ridiculous.
That crew should be forced to apologize for their mistake and suspended for a few weeks at bare minimum. I could see a mistake like that happen if it was close, but like others have already said it wasn't. Absolutely brutal, and will likely effect playoff positioning in one way or another.
Wow, that was one of the worst calls ever. How did no one notice the puck went off the netting, the shot was going into the second deck! If it happened to the Flames I would throw my remote through the TV.
Didn't the Kings win a game a couple years ago where the tying goal by Doughty shouldn't have counted because the clock didn't start right away? I guess this makes up for it but it was still a disgusting call and it seems like the Wings get all the breaks.
The ref behind the goal has an excuse because he was looking the other way, but the other three officials should be answering some serious questions. That is a simply embarrassing mistake that has potentially serious ramifications on the playoff race.
