Meanwhile, on Earth 2, I'm getting ready for OT . . .

[Ryder71]

At least Geno got a point.

 

[Tom Hanks]

No injuries except Dumo’s feelings.

 

[ColePens]

I will ignore ranting even more on the idiotic officials. That was f***ing AWFUL. Seriously.

The pens owned possession, IMO, and controlled the game. I think the PP and some defensive issues let the team down. Oh well. It happens. I thought from what I saw, I saw a team that controlled pace and probably should have won. But there are games you win that you don't deserve. There are games you lose and you don't deserve to lose. Oh well. I am not discouraged in any way.

I am utterly disgusted by that call. It is inexcusable and stupid.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I missed it in real time but saw the replay. What’s the consensus, was that goalie interference?

 

[MtlPenFan]

I want to know which teammate that quarterwit wearing 58 was sniping at when the EN goal went in.

 

[Shaffer]

The league NEEDS to issue a statement. WTF even is goalie inference?

 

[Fatty McLardy]

does someone have a gif of that Letang "slapshot"at the end?..

I need some humor after this game.

 

[Dey so soff*]

Did it to yourselves.

Forget the refs, figure out what the **** you need to do to fix the team D.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I missed it in real time but saw the replay. What’s the consensus, was that goalie interference?

Should have been a goal. Had the goalie beat before contact. Contact only happened because Hainsey pushed him. Dumo played it well

 

[Gold Diamond]

Hideous call. Better not happen in the playoffs.

 

[Ugene Magic]

 

[Shady Machine]

Lol. Dumo is driving net, tries to cut around goalie, is pushed in the back and incidental contact clips the head but puck was already around Andersen's pad. It's not close to goalie interference but even if it was, it was no where close to deserving a 2 minute penalty. Ref trying to be a hero.

 

[Ryder71]

The league needs to be more consistent and clear in their calls. What happened tonight defies logic and common sense. Absolutely absurd.

 

[Tom Hanks]

They played some good, some bad and the ref was ugly. Moving on.

 

[RustyRazor]

Pens played well enough to win. Also played poorly enough to lose. I'll keep beating the drum of cleaning up the turnovers in our own end. Opponents are feasting on this. Many nights we find a way to score enough to win a game like this one. Just didn't happen tonight.

 

[JBose7]

Some bad calls but they didnt play with urgency until late. Just a meh effort. I hope they get some chemistry built up on that 3rd line with the remaining games

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I'm not worried yet but Brassard needs to get on track...

Get Phil back with Malkin for now, for heaven's sake.

 

[EightyOne]

Did it to yourselves.

Forget the refs, figure out what the **** you need to do to fix the team D.

They didn't figure it out in the prior 68 games.

Doubt it improves over the next thirteen.

I'm not that mad about tonight. Leafs owned us all year.

 

[lordstanley91]

I quit watching after the dumo call and subsequent pp goal...I have nothing to contribute other than a:

+ for Malkin keeping pace w an assist

 

[BHD]

The team didn't play well enough, but that game was a joke.

Glad they're done with the Leafs for the season. I've never seen a team yell at the refs like they did until they got a couple goals on the PP. And that GI on Dumo. f*** right off.

 

[Brandinho]

I legitimately don't understand the reality that some people are living in when they trash Jarry. Listen, he's not perfect. He has had his ups and downs. Fair criticism is obviously fine, but I've lost count of how many times I've seen people say he's trash or that he doesn't have a future in the NHL. He's 22, he's a rookie. He's not Matt Murray. Nobody is. Matt Murray is a freak, an outlier. There won't be another Murray for years or perhaps even decades. What's happening with Jarry is a normal growth curve for a talented young goalie. Carey Price ate shit in Montreal for years until he figured it out. This is normal. It's not his fault that there's no veteran backup to step in while Murray's injured. I just don't understand the negativity at all. It's so overblown.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

We were the better team and still lost because of our own mistakes. Things like that happen.

 

[DegenX]

I'm thinking Geno explodes tomorrow against the Stars.

 

[LOGiK]

Ref jobber tonight.
