Series Thread: Round 2: (2) Pittsburgh v. (1) Washington

[Dacks]

Dumb and unnecessary, horny.

 

[elocomotive]

Caps need to start making the high move on Murray. He's playing way too high out.

 

[ckhokie]

Might be a good time to remind...

 

[elocomotive]

Omg... Pierre needs to stop saying elevated.

 

[elocomotive]

And equally dumb from Stonehands.

They were going high with everything in game 1. Not sure why they stopped.

 

[pixburgher66]

The refs blowing everything down tonight, which is unusually competent.

Huge pet peeve: when a defenseman shoves a guy into his goalie, then beats up the guy for touching the goalie. How about you protect your goalie by not forcing a player into your guy?

 

[elocomotive]

Dick move by Daley at the buzzer and then the spear on top. Pens... bunch of fucking douchebags.

 

[pixburgher66]

3-game suspension for Hagelin.

I honestly think that the heavy DoPS presence in the series is in the refs heads a little bit. That was certainly interference, but I have a feeling there's going to be a crushing clean hit they toss a guy for at some point.

Like Justin Williams slew footing at the buzzer last game...they're all unbalanced testosterone raging morons. And I love them for it.

And equally dumb from Stonehands.

Why Trotz puts Chimera on the ice 4 on 4 or on the 2nd PP unit when a handsom young Sweedish man wearing #65 is available completely blows my mind.

...Burakovsky is Swedish?

 

[Dacks]

Didn't see the Hagelin penalty, but why was it called so late? I swear 3 penguins touched it before the whistle.

It might have been legit, but pretty sure they weren't going to call it until they saw TJ injured. That's classic bush league NHL.

but he was born in Austria - not sure if he's eligible to run for president or not

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Hopefully the Pens play is elevated in the 2nd period

It was verrrry late. Ref was waiting for him to get up. Not a fan of that (the call is fine) just because I'd rather that not start a feign injury trend.

Just assumed he was Eastern Euro with that name...also, he doesn't have flowing blond locks, which I assumed was necessary to be a Swedish citizen.

Born in Austria to Swedish parents with a Russian last name.

Born in Austria to Swedish parents with a Russian last name.

Yeah, the lesson of this story is: next time, just say his name.

It's a shame that this series isn't a Conference Final or a Cup Final, because these may be the two current best teams in the Nhl.
