It's like the morons doing the play-by-play on ch.45 who froze play right after it happened and used their little pen to circle what they kept saying was Franzen's high stick. Except the stick they circled was being held by a green glove and belonged to Martin Skoula. They showed the replay 178 times during the live feed. To be a high-stick goal, the puck has to be "above the height of the crossbar," which means completely over it. There is no way you can say that that puck was completely over the top of the crossbar when it was struck unless you're watching the game through red-and-green christmas elf colored glasses (Sorry, folks. Worst sweaters in the NHL. Awful. Like Arena Football on Ice. Embarrassing, frankly). I'm sorry the on-ice ref made the call too blatantly and too soon, rather than waiting for the replay. He was wrong, the call was corrected, and the Wings won. Get over it. Hey homer - way to show misleading screen captures frozen before Franzen’s stick actually touched the puck.

Detroit has incredible talent and for my money is the best visitor that hits the X each year. Great crowd last night also. That SO goal by Datsyuk was just sick. Best move I've seen in a SO. My seats are on the other end of the X, so I didn't get a good look at the questionable goal. Watching it today, it seems strange that it on-ice call was overturned -- the replay isn't obvious either way. I'm sure Russo will have more to say on this. Detroit fans posting here - we're sorry you didn't score 6 goals last night. Next time we'll roll out the carpet. Maybe Russo can ask the goalies to let a few more in for you. P.S. everyone. Rolston #1 star in NJ today Great game last night. Detroit has incredible talent and for my money is the best visitor that hits the X each year. Great crowd last night also.
