Unbelievable calls from the ref on that hit. Getting thrown from the game is completely fucktarded.

that was a bad call on kronwall. maybe after the nhl is done taking fighting out of the league, they could get rid of the checking. i know i really hate the fighting and checking in hockey

yesterday i agree, but after watching the replay like 10 times today, he really didn't have possession of the puck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The refs had to make that call or Kronwall wasn't going to make it out of Chicago alive ...
Also, technically, Havlat hadn't touched the puck yet, so it was technically interference, although I personally think that rule is bullshit.

ok, isn't interference a 2 min penalty!

the fact that there was a possible injury to the head is what caused it to be a major. or at least that's my understanding of the rules //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Okay, give him a 2 minute minor penalty. A match penalty? That's a joke.

5 minute major and a game misconduct if it results in a serious injury.

whoever said he didnt have the puck...

he had the puck for that few seconds he looked down for that split second.. and thats whatkronwall timed sooo perfect

that was one of the best hits ive seen from him

100% clean to me, no elbow, no leaving feet, a normal check with players head down...

he saw kron at the last second... but got pwned...

most bs shit ever..

kinda sucks det lost that game.. but if they can win the next it should be good

next is key or else its goin to like 6-7 games...

WHY wont HOSSA OR DATSYUK SCORE!!!!! haha

100% Clean and legal hit. Havlat was hit with Kronwall's shoulder, the puck looks to have hit Havlat's skate, giving him possession and causing him to look down. Legal hit through and through and a bullshit call by the refs. IMO the refs should be fined for that call that more than likely lost the game for the Wings.

50 seconds in shows a close-up ... He never touched the puck.

It's a bullshit rule; if the puck is near him, you should be able to hit him w/o a penalty. But under the rules as they're written, it's a penalty.

If theres intent to injure, there should also be intent to play the puck. He CLEARLY was INTENDING to play the puck, and Kronwall was lining him up as if he was going to play the puck. He MISSED the puck, does that make it Kronwall's fault?

It is looking very likely that we will get a rematch of last years finals again, and I will be honest, if that happens I see the outcome being the same as last years, maybe not as dominating of a performance by the Wings in games 1 and 2 this year, but I would still say Wings in 6.
