Yeah, but it got to a point where any sort of contact whatsoever was being called. If you breathed on a guy too hard they were calling it. I'll take the points but what could've been and was a great game for a bit turned into an absolute circus in the 3rd.

Yeah, it really is a shame. Both teams were so crisp for most of the game. Good defense, good passing, not a lot of stupid mistakes. Just a lot of good hockey.

OK fair enough, I just saw this...

1st period
44.0 Clarkson, 2 min, Tripping
06:07 Malkin, 2 min, Interference
08:40 Barch, 5 min, Fighting
08:40 Engelland, 5 min, Fighting
09:20 Vitale, 2 min, Boarding
13:32 Henrique, 2 min, Roughing
13:32 Bortuzzo, 2 min, Roughing
13:32 Dupuis, 2 min, Elbowing

It looked like back and forth PP's. Like I said I didn't see the game so..

 

[DevilishWon]

I didn't see the game but reading the postings it seems like the ref's called a very tight game.

Isn't it up to the players to adjust as well if the ref's are calling it tight? Or do they just go on taking the chance that the close calls not be made?

True, the last few pens calls were solid, I think they were getting frustrated. before that a lot of "close" calls on both

2nd game in a row the other teams bench took and unsportsmanlike

it was very even until the 3rd, pens linda lost it. James Neal chopped a d man stick in half, Paul Martin grabbed a player byh the hand (pretty obvious) etc.

Am I the only one who appreciates the irony of pitts fans whining about officiating

I just want a good game. 16 penalties is not entertaining. Toward the end it was frustration, but the hooking/interference/crappy boarding calls were *vomit*

It was even uglier live a lot of disruption to the flow of the game

Yeah, that's one of those games I'd hate to have paid to attend (at least from the Pens side). I've attended a bad or two in my time, but luckily none like today's.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Pens taking way to many penaltys the last few games...many of them bullshit, I might add. Pens defeat thd Devils Sunday night. Book it.

Probably pumped up beer sales with the game dragged out.
