Stars vs Wings Game 1


Well the NHL conference finals finally got underway last night as Dallas and Detroit kicked off their series. i noticed the Red Wings got a little extra help in their 4-1 win... from the refs. Early in the game Steve Ott was called for facewash on Tomas Holmstrom, OK good call, but then Mark Fistric gets called too for no obvious reason giving Detroit a 5-on-3 ? and then on Detroit's third goal Holmstrom practically sits in Marty Turco's lap, so I guess you're an idiot if you wave you're hands and stick in front of the goaltender while standing 10 feet away but you're allowed to sit on him now? Definitely a bit of a double standard there if you ask me, if that was Steve Ott at the other end, the goal would've been called back. Now maybe I'm biased because im going for dallas, and detroit probably would've won anyway, but still, this should not be happening in a big game like this. This series has potential to be a very exciting one. Lets hope the officials keep it that way.
