So Letang tries to jump around Marchand, and Marchand delivers a good hip check, sending him flying.

Why would that be a penalty on either player? Ridiculous.

ever?

As far as a dive that never was?


Yeah, pretty sure. Did u see something I didn't?

 

[evolver115]

Sutter!

You REALLY have never seen a worse call? I find that hard to believe.

Not saying it wast a bad call, it was. But there are hideous calls every week, worst ever. not even close

I am liking this game, some real heart felt hate out there on the ice.

Just a bad call. I can buy that from the ref's angle, maybe they didn't see Marchand push upwards into Letang. In that case it would look like Letang just flung himself into a pirouette.

... and there is Sutter! Brilliant deflection pass by Dupuis. Sutter with a crazy shot there.

It wasn't a dive, and Marchand did nothing wrong. There was no reason to have stepped in after how little they've stopped play tonight.

Marchand is like a tiny, less talented Claude Lemieux with all the good and bad things that entails.

Fun to watch except when he plays your team

Totally agree. I was just taking exception to the worst ever piece.

 

[Dacks]

This is just fantastic, high-paced hockey. Goes to show you don't need endless scoring chances to be on the edge of your seat.

Penguins haven't given the Bruins an inch of room since taking the lead - that has to be the Martin influence.

Oh, and Crosby / Malkin / Bergeron have all looked stellar.

 

[evolver115]

Jokinen

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Joki

Pens lead 3-1

 

[Dacks]

Jokinen

LOL - I guess my stream is two minutes behind. Maybe a *SPOILER* tag next time?!?!?

Pens have scored 3 but two of those had to be perfect to beat Rask. That was missing last spring...

 

[evolver115]

Iggy !

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Pens win

Great game Bruin fans, that was quite the battle.

 

[evolver115]

3-2


Good game. Great action all night.

 

[dash]

IGGY!!

/Too soon?

Actually, too late.

 

[Dacks]

Goddamn... what pressure by the Bruins at the end. That last save by Fleury was reminiscent of his cup-winning stop on Lidstrom back in '09.

good game everybody

Got to be in attendance for this one. Great game. Very evenly matched, took some perfect shots to win. Jokinen's goal...just a beaut. Still boggled by that Letang penalty...they clearly made up for it by giving Marchand a phantom "slashing" call...but crikey. Funny enough I had just told my roomie who was there with me how much I missed the art of the hip check, and it was sad that they call those trips now.
