This is infuriating.

[Pavel Bure]

Gotta love that, puck comes in front of the Pens net, 4 Pens there(Oh LOL Admin), no Flyers and Staal for whatever reason just looks at the puck and does nothing.

Can someone take Pierre off TV please.

[Drewski17]

weak

[pittsports87]

No goaltender interference???

[iWonTheCup87]

so tired of dominating then they always get some soft back breaking goal to get back in it ugh

[NashvilleCat]

So much for dominance

[skullman80]

Well that sucked.

[shafnutz05]

No goaltender interference???

Huh? Not even close

[skullman80]

No goaltender interference???

There wasn't any to call .

[Froggy]

No goaltender interference???

hartnell didnt touch him until after the puck was through him, and even then, he was pushed by michalek

[Rocco]

No goaltender interference???

Only in dream world.

Agreed. No goaltender interference, but a heck ton of slashes and hooks that allowed the Fly boys to keep the puck in.

[largegarlic]

The Pens are still making too many bad giveaways (Cooke's being the obvious one here). However, there are plenty of players who looking to make the cute play at one blue line or the other and turning the puck over. Especially when they have the Flyers on their heels and have (had) a 2-0 lead, they need to focus on getting the puck deep, grinding the opposing d-men down and forcing the Flyers to go the length of the ice to score.

eh, Hartnell kicked Fluery's skate out on his way to his position, Kunitz has had goals called back for similar, but in this type of game, without a warning or anything, I agree they are not going to call that back.

Do you blame the refs for every goal scored against?

[tfrizz]

their wasn't any to call .

Yup. I'm more mad that Hartnell was allowed to set up shop on top of Fleury, once again, with no Penguin even attempting to move him.

Not clearing the crease is going to lead to a lot of problems in the playoffs.

Do you blame the refs for every goalerewski scored against?

Yup. Cause that's exactly what I was doing.

[steelhammer]

No goalie interference, but the refs are definitely keeping the Flyers in this game. Clutching, grabbing, picks, interference all game long.

[shafnutz05]

Michalek is Kleenex-weak in front of our net

[NashvilleCat]

This has all the makings of a very long afternoon.

[npv708]

Wait, how is that a penalty, when the exact same player did something significantly more obvious 5 minutes earlier?

ugh. Flyers games drive me nuts.

[malksby8771]

um. where was the penalty? i saw fleury go down thats about it...

[Rocco]

Didn't I say something about not whining about refs?

[NashvilleCat]

I'm thinking the GDT theme-joke is getting old now.

[steelhammer]

Wow, right on cue. Talbot holds Niskanen and they call the penalty on Niskanen. You go Comcast, you go.
