I thought so too until I saw the replay. Ref didnt lose sight of it unfortunately or you would have got the whistle.

I must have missed the "ref's eye view" replay

Watching the replay that should have been blown dead when it was caught in Greiss jersey. Ibdont know what sucked worse, the officiating our our pathetic pp.

He skated behind the net and when he started falling with the puck the ref was in perfect position when it hit the ice and then went in. Bad luck. Completely confused by that time out?

I'm ready to start the Mike Babcock rumors again.

Lose your pointman... and still don't have the guy who is made to be in front of the net back. What PP? Missing 2 of the key components.

How in that game does philly wind up with more pps then us..laughable!

0 for 6 or 0 for 10. Either way....

I was ready a few games ago

Mike Johnston is as bad at lines and adjustments as Disco Dan was, just without the Youth bias.....

Griess played very well, hats off to him.

Sutter sucks, BB yeah he had a goal, but he had 0 presence tonight. IF he wants to be a top 6 he needs to play bigger. Ehroff had a bad game, the 2nd PP unit produces about as many chances as the PK unit. Between Sunday and today, other than the assist Malkin has taken both nights off. Thinking that PH and Comeau solve these problems is a joke. This team will lost again early. 7 straight to the Flyers.

Fine or no fine it's time for someone in the Pens' organization to publicly call out the refs for the jewing they've been putting on us ever since Sid's infamous "hitting the glass with his stick" against Toronto which happened about 2 millennia ago.

excuse me? that "what"ing?

good game, fellas ... hope Letang is okay.
- FlyerGuy

You call this a game?

Glad that ref has x-ray vision and can see pucks through jerseys. Will come in handy on close goal line situations when you can't tell if a puck went over the line or not.

Cmon!?!!?!? Why the f can't the pens destroy the flyers!? Thanks , there goes our lottery pick because now we will buy and sell off prospects prolly. Damnit.

It's still not a good defensive team. Meanwhile he benches Goc. One of their best FO/PK guys for dead weight like Zac Sill who single handedly loses the game for them. Just pathetic.

We can blame the refs all we want. I choose to blame our power play. 0-6 and a nothing on a five minute major. The power play is all perimeter.

As I said before the game, Harrington just can't skate with these guys yet.

I think Pouliot should be the next man up. I think he might have scored 4 PP goals tonight himself. No but seriously regardless of whether or not Letang comes back right away, Pouliot should be up.

I wouldn't blame the too many men call solely on him. Malkin jumped early.

I didn't notice Harrington at all. He should be able to show something at this point.

No, players are always off the bench early. That would have been a standard NHL change had Sill not turned around to go back at the puck. Even if he knocked it down and continued to the bench that wouldn't have been a penalty, but because he turned around and went back for the puck it was definitely a penalty.

So easy to blame coaching, especially in hindsight. But man I cant for the life of me understand some of MJ's decisions recently.

Yeah he did turn back, it was clearly a penalty.

Either way, blaming the loss on penalties is kind of a joke when they are 0-6 and can't score on a 5min pp. Theres just really no excuses.

Crap player doing crap things. Doesn't belong in the NHL and he's out there at the end of regulation. Suck it HCMJ.

Isn't Perron a LW? Why not dump Kinitz to line #2?

exactly. 0 way the pens deserved to win tonight.

sill never deserves to be given a stick. its just that simple.

but still. you get 6 PPs and dont convert one. just shut the (frank) up and get on the plane/bus.

I give him a bit of a pass on the cross-checking penalty, but only because the refs had been letting it go all night. They wait until the last 10 seconds of the game to call one, I mean come on. You can't set the precedent of not calling it then call it at such a crucial time in the game, that is piss poor reffing.

Rinaldo bragging about changing the game by hurting Letang... Said if he didn't do what he did who knows how the game ends!!! Long suspension coming
