lithera...... Having watched the footage for all of the goals of last night's Wings and Canucks game... I'm glad I didn't listen to it on the radio. I think I would have hurt myself.
4 straight calls on the Wings (not that strange, but...), a dive by Bertuzzi resulting in a 5 on 3. DURING that 5 on 3, Bertuzzi kicks the legs out from underneath Chelios in front of the net... no call. Earlier in the game, Avery is SPEARED (and you don't see spearing that often) in the gut/crotch blatantly... no call. 40 seconds left in the game, goalie pulled, shot goes wide of the net, but for some stupid ass reason, the ref... is standing next to the net, not behind... he turns his skate for some odd reason... puck deflects out to Naslund, while Cujo is out of position from the first shot... and he has an open net to tie the game. During OT, Vancouver has 5 men on the ice, the 5th man PLAYS the puck, the SAME ref that assisted on the goal, POINTS to the bench, as if he's aware... makes NO call.. the Canucks proceed to score and win the game.
I think my head would have exploded. Seeing the Naslund goal where the puck rebounded off of the ref's skates... That's enough to make me want to scream.
So anyway... Ben is back and sounds like he had an... interesting weekend.
