[DelPen]

Haven’t seen Sid this mad in a while.

Hand Pass?With the Pens grinding in the zone.Just a coincidence,right...

Exactly what I yelled at my TV! These refs are awful tonight and that’s saying something.

[BurghThing]

Did Rust's sticks get confiscated at the border?

It is. NHL officiating is putrid at best. Tonight’s effort resembles an overturned porta-potty.

[DelPen]

I hate games in Toronto. Officials crumble to the pressure of doing their jobs correctly.

[Zalapski33]

Ned keeping them in it.
Rust and Smith both having tough nights.Would be huge for one of them to step it up.

[Toke]

Rust is all thumbs tonight

Was there not a hand pass by Tavares on the Toronto PP?

Inexcusable.But the NHL Power structure runs through Toronto which leads to these kinds of games.That call early on Rakell was not a Penalty and EK barely contacted the Forward on the call that led to the go ahead goal.Clown Show,or as Mario said- Garage League.

[KG]

So we are down a goal and Carter still gets all this ice time ?

[Coffey Break]

Jeff Carter doesn't even look like a guy whose trying out there. Pathetic.

[penny lane]

Dig for the 2nd goal. Let's go

[Zalapski33]

Officiating aside,the Pebs have to get their energy stepped up right now.Have to go at the net.

[Antonio]

Uhhh ok..

[Admin]

Trip on EK?

[Zalapski33]

That Non Call says it all.Even the Toronto Fans expected that to get the gate.

[largegarlic]

This is where the season ends. The Leafs are just grinding the Pens into dust. They're both faster and more physical. The Pens can't even clear their own zone. This is like watching a snuff film.

Yeah, this is what I said in another thread earlier today and got some (good natured) schtick for saying I wasn't sure the Pens could keep getting results against good teams, because it didn't seem like they could hang when the good teams really turn it on. Tonight is another example of that, but I hope they prove me wrong.

[mariojr]

And how was that not a trip for hauling down Karlsson?

[E-Ramone]

They don’t even call a blatant trip. Cowards.

[Southern Fan]

Trip on EK?

Wow

[KG]

Trip on EK?

Clearly. We already hit our quota for the day I guess.

[BurghThing]

Seriously, how do they NOT call that trip?

[largegarlic]

Yeah, that's a textbook trip.
