Wow, reading through these posts, most of the the people crying are Flyers fans crying about karma and Rangers fan crying about it being clean. Personally, I think it should have been a penalty, but no fine or suspension. It should be like a high stick, any contact to the head should warrant a call.

Does your medicade pay for tampons? You sure cry a lot.

Not as many times as your Cindy baby #87 does to the refs have I ever cried. Only as an infant and with the deaths of my parents, & other family members and friends.
I'm not on Medicaid; so why don't you apply for it, and then go shopping to supply Cindy with those tampons.

You're probably not aware, as a mouth-breathing/neckbeard-wearing/smelly-ass New Yorker that is the duty of the captain of a hockey team to discuss any questions concerning a penalty with the referees and relay any comments or concerns from the coach or back to the coach. That's why "Cindy" is always 'crying' as you imply to the on-ice officials.

But yeah. I guess we shouldn't presume that you have knowledge of how the game of hockey is actually played...

Listen...being the Pens fan that you are, it's okay to defend the players your root for. However, you need to be honest with yourself and others to be fair. The reality, no matter how much you may not like it, is that Crosby will complain to the ref nearly every time he falls to the ice. Perhaps a little diving and trying to entice a call or two, but what gets on everyones nerves is that he does it all the time and then goes out a slew-foots someone.

^ truth. church. steeple.

Where is this elbow people talk about?

I did not see Del Zotto's elbow make contact with Neal.

So he knocked himself out on thin air.... Just like a moron, Philly fan.

And another New Yorker proves my point...

What I'd really like to know is how all you fans of all these other teams find time to follow your OWN teams when you are apparently watching EVERY SINGLE Penguins game ever played since he joined the league to see these plethora of times that Crosby complains to the on-ice officials.

I would call that "reverse charging"....no suspension but definitely a fine.

look here, I think del zotto knew what he was doing. how ever the refs cant even call that a penalty because of how del zotto was turned. only del zotto knows weather or not he did it on purpose or not.
