You know I believe overcoming crappy calls is part of being a good team. Duh! Right?

Will the officiating in this game be reviewed? It really is beyond understanding.

On both sides too. Melichar boarded a guy with no call. They all just suck. They should go back to one ref so at least the other guy doesn't have to worry about mkaing calls the other one misses and thus showing him up.

That was'nt a board, there is no rule that says you cannot finish your check from behind if you are 2 feet away and at a dead stop. it looked painful, and yes he could have been seriously injured, but that;s NOT a penalty.

[Guins]

how the hell was that not a trip on cole?

Because he has a boo boo neck

It most certainly was.

[cojac]

next guy who takes a hooking or holding penalty should be scratched the next game no matter WHO it is.

[netwolf]

What broadcast did they show the overhead angle on?

I saw the line wih no puck touching it. My beef is the refs not being in position to make the call to begin with and everyone around the net acting like it was a goal to reinforce it was in.

I still haven't seen an overhead so I can't say. I think the ref is supposed to be behind the net, which is where he was.

Can't disagree much with the last part though. Maybe next time they'll make sure.

Are you sure you mean that?

[Peter]

wow nobody has defended Crosby and cried ref on his blatent hooking call yet.

[Stoosh]

Anyone sense a Michel Therrien post-game tirade coming on?

Let me try. What the #%$& was he thinking taking a stupid penalty like that right now?!?!? Is that what you were looking for?

[Guins]

That is worthless, he is a JOKE

[Stoosh]

That's because it was clearly a penalty. Crosby needs to be smarter than that.



Happy?

We can only hope.

Penalty trouble has been apparent since opening night and has never been addressed. It's a combination of bad coaching and stupid players.

boo boo refs refs victims victims.

I'm with you, the pens are doing this to themselves, why would you make excuses for them when they have done this for FOUR GAMES IN A ROW!!!

So it;s been the refs for FOUR GAMES IN A ROW? Get a clue poeple!

This teams idea of stepping it up a notch vs. better teams is not to skate harder and play smarter; it's to take unneccessary penalties, time after time. Colby got hit. He punched Cole in his head twice and then slipped on a stick. How is that the refs fault?

FOUR GAMES IN A ROW. All good teams, all faster teams, lazy undisciplined penalties in each and every game. Write a letter too yourself, wipe your tears with it, and give yourself the Vulcan grip until you pass out.

[Guido]

I'm glad the refs have completely blown this game. That was a goal, bottom line.. they completely snubbed out any comeback possibility. it's completely ridiculous, any excitement this game could've had has been ruined.

[cojac]

Good news, Foppa is out for mondays game against the flyers.

[Stoosh]

HEY WHITNEY.......

There are bad giveaways and then there's that.

Shouldn't you be on the Wild messageboard by now?

No it was'nt, and they did;nt call it so there.

[Guido]

Yes, but I'm always happy!

"waaaaaaa you don't like the Pens because you hold them accountable for their undisciplined play waaaaaaaaaaaa"

[Stoosh]

Oy...

Chad Larose...

6-2 Canes.

I think it's time for a RS tirade myself

[DelPen]

Penalty trouble has been apparent since opening night and has never been addressed. It's a combination of bad coaching and stupid players.

Still, the other team has been doing the same stuff and not getting called. And in general, the linesman the last two seasons have blown a lot of offsides and icings too. As a group, the officials are a very lazy bunch of people.
