GDT: ECQF Game 6 - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers | Let me shake your hand

[SUBdrewgANS]

so... if we lose this challenge, we get a penalty right? cause that doesn't seem worth it.

Lose a time out. Challenging goalie interference

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Meh whatever.

You still are done Philthy

 

[Dick Sledge]

God what an ugly bunch.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Stupid challenge Sully. Really stupid.

Why? He has nothing to lose.

 

[Bnat66]

If they cant defend a 2 goal lead-forget it

 

[Pancakes]

i agree but if you look up the ice, it's a clear set play.

A bad coaching call then. Just kill the game on the boards. If they get it at the point, who cares? Clog the lanes/block shots.

 

[The GM]

Blatant goalie interference

 

[LOGiK]

Meh.

 

[PensPlz]

If Murray wasn't bumped then he doesn't give up the rebound.

No idea how that is allowed.

 

[domaug]

Murray is really really bad tonight.

 

[Shrimper]

3 minutes. Keep it simple

 

[Icarium]

If we choke now I swear...

 

[Bingo71]

It definitely is. Mostly other teams' fans though, which is kind of odd.. but not surprising.

EVERYBODY hates the Pens.

Every other team in the league plays “old time hockey”. The Pens are “cheaters” who have the refs on their side and tanked for Sid.

 

[Turin]

Blatant goalie interference

Murray was way too far out

 

[SidGenoMario]

Should have been goalie interference. That's pretty much textbook. There wouldn't have been a rebound if he wasn't hit in the damned head. Zero consistency.

 

[flaneur]

eh... would have been shocked if that was overturned.

although cbc makes an interesting case for it

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I think sully challenged to get a longer time out that 30 seconds

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Get Jake the EN goal plz

 

[Bingo71]

If they cant defend a 2 goal lead-forget it

They’ll likely make it interesting.

 

[Nakawick]

come on boys, quick en goal here

 

[RizzleMcRib]

I'm not gonna lie, Couturier has been a beast since coming back.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Who the f*** knows with GI, tbh. It’s one of those things that’s a gamble now so you may as well.

 

[Shaftception]

It definitely is. Mostly other teams' fans though.

Are they arguing rationally though or just that in the moment it seemed like it should've been a penalty because of the optics of it generating a scoring chance?

The replay clearly shows Letang's one handed grip on his stick flailing at the loose puck somehow had enough force generated to send the Flyer jumping into the air. Challenge anybody to explain that logically without concluding it a dive and I'll accept it's anything more than biased whining because of how much they don't like the Pens.

I guarantee not one person will objectively look at how blatant a dive it was until emotions have died down. If that was Crosby literally jumping into the air to draw a trip this site (especially) would have a conniption fit.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Whatever else you do, just don't take a Penalty.

 

[Terrapin]

move your f***ing feet Brassard
