GDT: #3|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Toronto|50 Shades of Sutter|1/23/13|7:00PM EST

[Bennett Brauer]

You guys think Kunitz gets suspended? We saw Letang get 2 games last year for it.

This team pisses me off tonight, they played some solid hockey over the weekend, most of this game has been sloppy.

Kennedy needs to stay the **** away from the top 6, I'm a Tangradi supporter, but I'm leaning towards jumping on the "acquire new wingers" bandwagon.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

this.

the only excuse for this piss-poor call is that the refs are favoring Toronto, because i have a very hard time believing that they legitimately miscalled penalties on the Pens for most of the game.

Think it's less about favoritism and more the NHL refs are god awful.

I have a hard time believing people really think a league would intentionally favor one team over another

 

[Coach Travis]

Crosby's a puck and opposition stickblade kicking fool! Love it.

 

[Smoke]

So, hitting a guy near the boards is now a boarding penalty every time.

Got it.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Agreed. There have definitely been some questionable calls tonight. I still don't even think Schenn should have gotten suspended for his hit on Volchenkov. I hate Schenn, and think he's a punk, but that was a beautiful hit.

it was textbook charging. 2 minutes.

Sid is playing like he wants to score twice himself. Good to see the fire in him again.

 

[Tarasenko]

Crosby's everywhere tonight.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Didn't Kunitz just get a penalty for doing that?

It shouldn't have been a penalty, but urgency is not simply hitting.

Shifts like Sid just had - that's urgency. Finally.

ok, why ARE the refs calling BS boarding calls on the Pens and missing obvious penalties against the Leafs?

because they are bad

 

[MrBurghundy]

Just doesn't feel like we can score anymore goals right now.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Good job flower

 

[Coach Travis]

Fleury got away with one there.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Need to pull the goalie soon.

 

[BHD]

This game is bumming me out. I should go to the main boards and complain about the refs.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Think it's less about favoritism and more the NHL refs are god awful.

Pretty much. My complaining about the refs was tongue in cheek. Mostly making fun of fan bases that think that there actually is favoritism and then whine about it everywhere. As long as people keep it here it is fine and part of being a fan. But these things even out to a degree and good teams overcome them.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The officiating has been **** in this league for years, all the idiotic team bias conspiracies aside. Every team gets away with things, every night. We just happen to be on the short-end of the stick tonight. /shrug

You can't allow yourself to be in the position to let the officiating dictate the game. We haven't done **** at even strength regardless of calls.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Let me add, if we completely dominated the eastern conference the next couple of months, maybe Shero would hesitate making a big move at the deadline. We obviously need another winger, for Crosby ...these types of games prove that. Silver lining folks...silver lining

 

[MrBurghundy]

Pull Fleury now.

 

[Smoke]

It is not because of favoritism. That is the same kind of garbage that people on these boards spew about the Penguins, and they are all delusional.

why not just pay $10 more and get center ice? or not available in your area?

 

[MrBurghundy]

ffs...
