Around the League: All Playoff Talk

[ULF_55]

Penguins deserve to lose this.

 

[Menzinger]

Two over the glass penalties - lousy luck for the Pens

Still think Pthey're take this game.

 

[Cor]

This is because Phil Kessel isn't a winner

 

[tokyoite]

Pens self-destructing.

3 puck over glass penalties

 

[Canada4Gold]

3 goal lead, worse lead in hockey, just ask Phil Kessel. I'm just curious if the Pens version of Matt Frattin missed a breakaway when they were up 3

 

[Canada4Gold]

and Letang takes I guess it was a boarding call?

 

[htpwn]

I was gonna say... Oshie didn't touch the puck before being hit there.

Little bit surprised they called it, but it is a penalty.

 

[ECanuck]

and Letang takes I guess it was a boarding call?

That's a clean hit.

damnit i was gonna go to bed but now i neeed to see overtime

 

[Deebo]

Was it interference maybe?

The puck was there, but I'm not sure Oshie ever touched it.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's a clean hit.

I thought it was to. The puck was in front of him but he had just touched it so I didn't think it was interference, I guess maybe that's what it was?

Can't be a penalty. Next time the guys about to pinch you you just let the puck go and you get a powerplay.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Give the Pens the puck down by their goal line in a tight spot, they're guaranteed shoot it over the glass

 

[Deebo]

I thought it was to. The puck was in front of him but he had just touched it so I didn't think it was interference, I guess maybe that's what it was?

Yeah, looked like it was played up the boards and Oshie went to get and Letang hit him before he touched the puck.

 

[socko]

What a choke job.

 

[MJ65]

I really hope Capitals can win this series - 1st they to win this OT

 

[La Masse]

Brutall call on Letang at the end there... Thats right after Hagelin got decked in front of Holtby

 

[Daisy Jane]

This is terrible reasoning. No one player can drive a team to the cup. ZERO. Not even Sidney Crosby.

Hockey is a team game. Phil Kessel can be a key contributor of a cup contender when it matters most, as he is proving now.

I corrected what I meant.

I wasn't talking about the trade. It had to be done, we had to rebuild. I'm talking about how Kessel was treated here. It was pathetic.

Lastly, Kessel was my favourite player for 6 years. I got mocked for just being a fan of his. Just imagine what he dealt with.

well that's not right. i mean people can like whom they like and you shouldn't be mocked for whom you like. but at the same time - people can not like whom they want and they shouldn't be mocked for not liking them.

in my opinion there's a lot to Phil's game that is left to be desired. and I know a lot of people went overboard with that. and there were a lot of people who took what Burke did and placed it on him and that wasn't fair either. It doesn't take away the point he can be an electrifying player or be a contributor in the playoffs. but again - i guess for me, it just doesn't change the fact that people can hate him. (or not hate him). I think it's just to be respectful towards one another about it.

The sad part is if they lose this and then lose game 7 too, there will be plenty of people blaming Kessel as if it was his fault because it happened twice that his teams blew a 3 goal lead with a chance to win a series.

As if his 2 goals this game didn't happen or something

pretty much. [and make that five goals in the series]
wouldn't be fair.

 

[thewave]

Let's go Pits! Blow this series real good!

 

[Canada4Gold]

pretty sure the Caps player diving through the crease stopped that

 

[Canada4Gold]

holy ****, he not only save it, right on the shaft of his stick, to save their season, wow

 

[htpwn]

Forget that not going in, I don't even know how it deflected off Beagle's stick the way it did.
