Imagine waiting through a long win/point streak only to post a "I've been telling you for a while" post after the first regular time loss. Lol.

I'm not watching this game.. only reading about Malkin and our >50 shots raised my blood pressure too high.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

To be fair, he did embellish. Stick grazed his shoulder. That being said, he HAS to be suspended

I mean do you expect him to stay still while a stick swings by his head? There’s going to be natural reaction whether it connects or not.

 

[Striiker]

In the Flyers defense, even though few shots were in the middle of the ice, a lot of the side shots were cross crease passes that forced the goalie to make a crazy save. Lindblom alone had 3 chances that he somehow stopped and I know there were plenty more cross ice passes and shots that weren't the type of weak perimeter chances that the picture suggests.

They didn't have 50 prime chances, but they sure as hell had a lot.

no, he did exactly what I would expect.

Whatever man, keep defending that pansy.

Pens fans would’ve been able to stand there without flinching if you swung a stick at their head.

THIS is what happens when you take demonize all physical punishment and scream every time someone gets knocked on their ass. If anything stronger than a love tap gets everyone's pitchforks out then the players can't police themselves and have to rely on the faulty and rigged Wheel of Justice that favors the big names. Not trying to go full Mango here and pray for the return of pure goons but there's gotta be a comfortable medium between that and figure skater tantrums. At least if you want people to take your league seriously.

Penguins fans would have said "I deserve this for punching a guy with a glove in the back of the head," and done the honorable thing.

They're just so admirable.

For sure. They would have stood there and took the chop to the face because it's the least they could do for that vicious decapitation attempt by Raffl. Typical dirty Philly... good thing it wasn't battery giveaway night..

 

[He Is Knocking]

You'd figure that the poor calls would even out at some point .......but they never do.

The only logical conclusion is some form of intentional bias or favor

 

[FlyersMania2]

I agree that the ref blew a big call but just as I believe with the NFL, you have to be able to win the other 99% of the game since blown calls are part of it. Not scoring on other chances is more to blame than one blown call

He embellished. Which is exactly what he should have done. Irrelevant.

Confirmation bias. Fans only see and recall bad calls against their team.

 

[DancingPanther]

Confirmation bias. Fans only see and recall bad calls against their team.

Homers only see and recall bad calls against their team.

The best hockey minds, coaches, writers, posters at HFboards, etc eliminate or minimize bias of all types. Which you, so far, are incapable of doing. This screams of your hockey intellect.

A player literally tried to chop his head with a baseball swing and you're crying about embellishment.

Lol go back to the pens blog

So when someone swings a stick towards your face your reaction is just going stand still like nothing happened? Ok then.

This needs a field test. Round up some dbag Pens fans (basically any of them). We can increase the speed/velocity/contact after each flinch

This is the only fair way to determine a punishment.

If they flinch, Malkin gets euthanized.
If they don't, he stays.

You spelled "f***ing loathsome" wrong.

I like it! But euthanized sounds to "sunshine and lollipops" for my liking.
How about a good old fashioned firing squad?

 

[Harhis]

I honestly would not feel bad for a second if Tom Wilson ended shreks career next time they play each other. God I hate him.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Malkin will get a suspension.

If they could somehow take each other out at the same time I wouldn’t mind it.
