P.S. Get whatever you can for Hedman. Dude is turning into bust city.

 

[Doctor Drej]

We'll take the point especially with Montreal and Toronto playing each other later but what a ****ing frustrating game. I hate games riddled with penalties.

 

[darkbrew*]

Flip was off the ****ing ice.

No he wasn't

 

[zeykshade]

Call on Stamkos on Malkin was awful. Hook on Johnson was also a chicken wing from Orpik. The refs ignored the blatant interference against Johnson on the faceoff in OT PP goal.

Without the refs, we win that game 2 or 3-1. So sick of the refs thumbing the scales. It's not bias, it's absolute ineptitude.

Johnson has looked like a rookie the past few games with his decisions, Palat rescued a point for us at least so that's huge.

 

[Sky04]

Hmm, maybe I need to see that penalty again.

I thought it looked legit.

Same, from the Pens feed, Flip was cruising to the bench, Johnson rushed into the defensive zone and put Malkin offside.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Meh, good enough. Lindback had a great game.

 

[AimForTopCheddar]

Well on paper it's a solid result: 1 point against the Pens without Bish. But the refs and our PK... unacceptable.

We need to get that fixed ASAP or we're not going to last long in the playoffs. It is actually quite disappointing how we lost on 3 PP goals and 1 blotched play...

 

[MattM92]

Flip was skating along the boards when Johnson touched it. It was the right call. But Crosby interfered with Johnson after the following faceoff and prevented him from clearing it. 10 seconds later it was in the net.

P.S. Get whatever you can for Hedman. Dude is turning into bust city.

Say what?

He had like two mistakes. Neither as egrigious as some others I can mention.

Borderline. Not the type of thing you see called in OT very often.

Probably Lindback's best game of the year, competition considered. I thought Gudas was a beast out there again too. Not sure what else can be said about Drej.

Hedman has quietly been playing great hockey

Caldrej Palat

 

[Antiramie]

Meh, good enough.

Blowing another 3rd period lead is not good enough. Until we start outplaying/outscoring teams in the 3rd, I'm not satisfied.

 

[FinnLightning26]

This loss is completely on Johnson. Horrible giveaway on the third and then that stupid ****ing penalty in the overtime. Hope he learns from this.

Got to be happy even about the point but that game was winnable without stupid mistakes and penalties. Lindbäck actually had a pretty good game for a change.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Lindback with a great game, he stopped some really tough shots. If he can keep up the good play, Bishop will be able to get some rest.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

Either trolling or you have quite possibly the worst hockey player evaluation skill I've ever seen.

 

[DFC]

Well, with the point, tonight's MTL/TOR game can't hurt that much, regardless of the outcome. We're staying in 2nd.

 

[Callum]

I'll just pretend I never saw this

 

[CarpeNoctem]

Malkin is always God against us.

 

[Sky04]

Stamkos looking more like his old self than the one from the first 17 games this season. Largely invisible and pops into the score sheet outta nowhere.

He was an awesome puck handler and strong on the puck for the first time in his career, he's knocked off easily now. Hopefully it's just the rust.

 

[zeykshade]

Stupid ass undisciplined team!! Cooper, you gonna chew anyone out for the 6 stupid ass power plays you gave the Pens or the 8 billion blind/soft passes your team makes every game?

Un-****ing-real.

What's even more "un-****ing-real" is you thinking that even half of those calls were legit. Also, we've gotten points in the last 8. If you're going to be mad, be mad at the officials for at least 3 ******** calls against the Bolts and the clear interference on Johnson by Crosby on the F/O that lead to the overtime GWG.

 

[CarpeNoctem]

Not sure if serious...

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Props to lindback. Really did a great job today.

TJ had a couple little brain farts that turned into huge problems.

Stamkos at 90% is better than 99% of the league.

My thoughts exactly. But hey, we can't expect the refs to penalize Crosby, that's just silly.
