WATCH: Red Wings lose on late non-interference call

You be judge.

The Detroit Red Wings remain angry with last night’s officials after a controversial goal by Florida’s Jonathan Huberdeau with seven seconds remaining in regulation broke a 2-2 tie and keeping Detroit from earning at least one of a valuable two points that were up for grabs.

Goaltender Petr Mrazek felt he was interfered with, and his teammates and coaches agree. Although replays show defenseman Mike Green may have nudged Huberdeau into Mrazek, the NHL has frustrated fans of all teams with different interpretations as to what does and doesn’t constitute goaltender interference.

Head coach Jeff Blashill attested to the NHL’s inconsistency on the subject of goaltender interference, and let the on-ice officials know as much in such a manner that he was ejected.

“Just from one week ago, a week ago there’s no chance (that’s a goal),” a frustrated Blashill explained. “Over the All-Star break they had lots of conversations. It’s changed in a week and that’s the hard part. Any time you change things mid-course, it’s hard for us to know exactly what the standard is. It’s certainly changed.” 

Captain Henrik Zetterberg, who spent time telling officials how he felt once the game was over, echoed his coach’s sentiments.

“The inconsistency in this league right now, if it’s the refs or the guys in Toronto, suspensions or the fines, it’s hard for us as players letting know what rules we’re playing under. The point’s real important. On a call like that, yesterday it could have been goalie interference and tonight it’s not.” 

Mrazek, who had another strong game in net for Detroit, didn’t think Green was to blame for Huberdeau making contact with him and that he wasn’t allowed an opportunity to make the save.

“There was a shot from the blue line and I just tried to come out,” Mrazek said. “I didn’t think Greener (Mike Green) pushed him (Huberdeau) at all inside. I lost the puck and I lost (balance) because he (Huberdeau) bumped me in front and he got the rebound for (himself).

Real disappointing and real upset. We should have had a win.” 

The Red Wings got two goals from defenseman Danny DeKeyser, who now has three goals in his past two games. They’ll look to get back into the win column against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena.
