That was a clean hit. What a bull**** call.

It looked worse than it was because of Letang relaxed too much
It's almost like players don't brace or prepare to take a hit anymore. They rely too much on non hitting after passing the puck rule

 

[TheAngryHank]

Shoulder on shoulder , little late but a penalty?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

that was a clean hit... two weak calls with the pens already up 3-0. So incredible that they’re getting favorable calls

Yep. Already up 3 to 0, I don't know what the refs are doing. Pittsburgh doesn't need the help....

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

You guys are joking right? Back turned and puck well gone?

That’s a penalty.

 

[Magic Mittens]

How many cross checks does Hornqvist get before one is called?

Yeah I dont understand that first Tampa penalty. Both guys basically did the same thing

 

[JoVel]

Clean as day.

 

[Sheppy]

Nice to see a chippy game.

It looked bad because Letang never braced. Him being a dumbass isn't a reason to give him a pp.

In no world was that interference. That was a finished check. These aren't IIHF rules.

As a result this happens.

I think we will have a fun fan as neutral fans now but it's not a great look for the league on NBCSN.

Pierre to Kendall Coyne: "I'll be your cage tonight."

 

[cliffclaven]

Can't hit anybody anymore.

Just take hitting out. That hit was 100% shoulder to shoulder, as clean as it gets. It’s a miracle the Real Madrid player (letang) got up after grabbing his shoulder and diving. Amazingly, he was out on the next pp. this league is a f joke.

 

[Madifer]

Tampa is looking like PO Tampa lol.

Just finish them boys!

Not even close.

League hasn’t cared about Pens retalilating against clean hard plays with cheap shit for years. Why would this one game be any different?

You mean like when the devils waxed the penguins after a long layoff. Gtfo.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Not even close.

What was not close? The puck being well of Letangs stick?

Example?

 

[Maylo]

Everyone is elite goalie until they play Penguins.

Lol, that wasn’t a penalty in any way, shape or form. I think letang is playing for Real Madrid on his off days, though. #wnhl

The reason I’m not buying the Tampa hype, Vasilevskeiy.

That’s a penalty.

Was called one.

Really wasn't one.

 

[cliffclaven]

Example?

You mean the crosschecks by holmquist and malkin?

 

[bukwas]

I can't be the only one loving the nasty.

 

[JerseyMike34]

The reason I’m not buying the Tampa hype, Vasilevskeiy.

I didn't think much of Vas before the team moved Bishop (who I also didn't think much of), but I've changed my tune. Vas is a very good NHL goalie.

The best way to get called an elite goalie is to never win a Cup. Once you win one, you just got lucky and were carried by your team.
