It absolutely should not have counted. Anyone who knows the rules knows that. Whistle blew already as crosby was whacking at it.
They lost anyway right? And likely to miss the playoffs altogether so meh.
They are 6th in their division and have the 4th worst goal differential in the NHL. Based on whats happened so far this season it doesnt seem like theyll make it no matter how many controversial ref assisted goals they are scoring.Wrong, but I'm surprised you can't show any objectivity when it comes to the Penguins.
It's amazing how much you hate the Penguins. It's absolutely adorable. Like how biased do you have to be to be saying stuff like this? This is just a sad level of delusion.
Why even go to Penguins or Crosby threads if you hate them so much?

Rangers have a game in hand. Sorry to say but given how theyve looked and literally 4th worst in goal differential its a fair question to ask. But of course if anyone does youll claim bias and hatred instead of taking an honest look at how the pens have played this season.A. They have won 2 straight Stanley Cups.
B. There are 57 games left this season.
C. They are 1 point out of a playoff spot
D. Seriously, how much do you have to hate the Penguins to post the crap you do about them?

Its 2-3 points really. Game in hand. Itll be tough to blame the coach this time and not the players like with johnston.And there's 57 games left in the season. I think they can make up that 1 point.
I've explained to you in the past why it's dumb to look at their goal differential when judging them as a team. When you get blown out 3 or 4 times, your goal differential looks really bad, but those games only count for 3 or 4 losses.
Do I really need to pull up some of your past posts to show how much you hate the Penguins? It's not like I'm making baseless accusations here.

Lol I can't believe there's still enough fans with blinders on for this to go 8 pages. Same old Crosby stuff. The idea of people naive enough to think he doesn't get top tier treatment from the officials is just sooooo sad.
Riiiight. Didnt he slash someones finger off just last season and spear another poor victim, unpunishedI'd say its the other way around. Many many many dirty plays have happened on Crosby and the players got away with it and didn't get suspended.

At least you admitted that happened. Its getting to the point where any factual criticism of crosby results in ad hominem nonsense about bias and hatredSure. Crosby gets away with stuff. So does everyone else. There is no special treatment. Marc Staal didn't get A SINGLE game for cross checking Crosby in the head and neck many times. Where was the special treatment there? Or for the david steckel hit? Or for Kovalchuck?
The puck was centimeters from going into the net and Khudobin was laying on the ice completely out of the play when the whistle was blown. What a stretch. That goal was 100% going in, with or without a whistle.
That's not the actual rule, though. Plays like that are allowed because the player was playing a loose puck in the crease. The puck just happened to be laying on the goalie and it wasn't covered. Seeing how Boston challenged it for goalie interference and the challenge lasted about 30 seconds, I think it's safe to say it wasn't goalie interference.
Steckel hit?Sure. Crosby gets away with stuff. So does everyone else. There is no special treatment. Marc Staal didn't get A SINGLE game for cross checking Crosby in the head and neck many times. Where was the special treatment there? Or for the david steckel hit? Or for Kovalchuck?
Steckel hit?
The one where Crosby hit Steckel,good lord.
Haven't even read this thread but I assume its a ****-on-Crosby-fest.
People will always hate on greatness.
