What'd he say?

He probably said something like the refs got the goal line and the blue line mixed up, because that's the only possible scenario where he wouldn't be offsides.

Still, makes up for the 3rd Pens goal. As far as I'm concerned the game is 2-0 (no Fleury cannot get a shutout, fuck off).

Ya that was a terrible call for sure. If the Flyers come back to tie or win that will be all that is focused on. Maybe rightfully so..

It was only slightly worse than the non-icing on the Pens third goal, and ended with the same result. Evens out. Now I can't bitch as much about the officiating screwing our team. So overall probably a good thing.

I'll accept the fact that sometimes a linesman's view is obstructed and he simply can't see whether someone is offsides or not. But there are FOUR officials on the ice, don't know how they ALL missed it.

Also, offside has really confused me since they put in the new rule about "receivable pass". Missing an icing isn't quite as bad as an offside that leads to a breakaway, but it looks like the players don't know half the time whether or not icing is being called.

Milbury arguing Rinaldo's penalty wasn't one. Even if it's not a roughing, it'd still be an interference. He knows DICK about hockey.

Why are we subjected to him over and over?

Flyers need at least 3 goals in the 3rd to pull this one out...I'm feeling confident now...and nervous as shit!

You know what I find pretty awesome.

Here we are a bunch of fans and look at all the teams that we root for. I would guess that since the game started 60-70% of posts of fans that do not either like or want either of these teams to win.

Elocomotive, if I misspelled anything I will give you a preemptive FU

It's official...the "icing" goal wasn't icing. Flyers player pinched down on Dupuis preventing Dup from playing the puck, so the icing was waved off. ;)
