It was not simultaneous. Even the pens fans arguing it said "he got the puck first."Learn the rules? Maybe you should?
57.1 Tripping – A player shall not place the stick, knee, foot, arm, hand or elbow in such a manner that causes his opponent to trip or fall.
Accidental trips which occur simultaneously with a completed play will not be penalized. Accidental trips occurring simultaneously with or after a stoppage of play will not be penalized.
Letang went for the puck, and got the puck. Intent wasn't to trip, it was accidental. Shockingly, the refs know the rules.
