annnnnnnd......the pens get called for it.

What a scumbag Letang is.
Let's go caps.

the amount of interference the caps get away with is crazy

Love you.

But please. You notice how much dirtier than pens are getting that the game isn't going their way?

Now oshie down the tunnel. That crotch shot by Crosby on Richards isn't surprising to anyone who has watched that (frank)er play.

Pens getting hosed on calls. Nhl blew this one. 12 minutes of ovechkin and 12 minutes without Crosby, malkin and Kessel. Anything for a game 7.

We all know the make up calls are coming. Just wait.

its a joke.

Yup. And Pens fans are already on the "it's the refs fault!" bus.

Gonna be an interesting OT.

cant blame the refs for the sheer incompetence of repeatedly rifling the puck over the glass. utter joke.

The simplest call to make is Delay of Game.

nah now that its tied, its going to be time to put the whistles completely away.

until 34 seconds in the period and ben lovejoy smokes a cotton candy vendor in section 203 in the ear with the puck.

dont get me wrong. im not a fan of the officiating either. but it isnt anything more than just the standard we suck at our job and are slaves to scoreflow officiating.

puck over the glass isn't a discretionary thing. you do it, youre gone. it is what it is.

i mean ideally you dont do it multiple (frank)ing times within a 90 second window. jesus christ.

In OT? It better be blatant. Letang's hit wouldn't have been all that notable except for the location and the fact Oshie's head slams pretty good off the dasher there.

if thats not letang, i dont know if they call it. like it or lump it, reputations follow players. it is what it is.

Exactly. Nothing subjective about it. And a fan receiving medical help from a puck hitting them is a pretty good indicator the right call was made. Kinda crazy.

this rule needs to go away. now.

Could be right. It was a pretty nice shot. I'd need to see another replay to see where the puck is in relation to the hit.

Calls get missed all the time, and sometimes bad calls made. Hopefully OT is penalty free.

it's a stupid (frank)ing rule. if it's an obvious dump over the glass, and it's not hard to tell, fine. otherwise, if they're going to keep it, then make the glass the same height all the way around for (frank)'s sake.

this rule needs to go away. now.
- hammarby31

i mean that is definitely a discussion worth having.

but, as of now, thats the rule and you need to play by it.

unfortunately, so is interference. and it would be cool if the caps werent permitted to do it at their leisure.

he didnt get him high. it was a pretty bang bang play. technically, i dont believe Oshie touched it. so it isnt the cheapest of calls. but i think it couldve gone either way.

Yup, Oshie didn't touch the puck. Close call. Perhaps if Letang didn't look like he was trying to put Oshie through the boards, no penalty.

Omg
