They could habe called the slash on sid when we were up a man too..they didn't wanna call an obvious penalty...why call it there...azzholes.

i know you ask rhetorical questions, but come on man you know why haha

its not anti pens bias, but its situationally dependent anyway

Doesn't really matter at this point. This was about as lifeless a game as Ottawa has played all playoffs, and the Pens just slowed down too. Now they have life.

theyre both penalties to me, and its hard to be too incredulous over them.

the annoying part is that "sliding scale" ever so lovingly dubbed by pierre the other day.

100 bucks a sens defender does that very same thing to us before this game is over and there will be no call.

I just want to let everyone know that I am WASTED and will continue to be completely unreasonable

Hainsey has got to be smarter than that.

I see nothing from the Sens that they're going to start beating us to the puck. They obviously can still win, but the Pens look motivated.

I see them looking motivated and opportunistic and Anderson having the game of his life. So, there's that.

Hainsey has got to be smarter than that.

That will be a first this postseason.

i mean to be fair, their own PP is whats costing them this right now, not the refs.

Fantastic..I wish I were as well. Feel free to be as reasonable as you want.

I'll take my chances with pps with our talent all day long.

How many holds and crosschecks on that sequence?

I lost count after ten.

But this lil stall up by hainsey is 2mins. Without mauling sid there we score a goal...or crosschecking jake. But a lol rub at the blue line negating nothing is 2mins. Yes it's been called before...but they have let that slide allllll postseason.
Damn cell phone autocorrect.have to edit before I submit.

Methot has been holding him the whole game/series. Refs won't call it bc they've now been gaslighted into thinking that's a hockey play

And that's why the hainsey call is complete nonsense. Call a tricky tack interference, but ignore a mugging and tackle? Good job NHL. Losing viewers everyday. How can a casual fan get hooked when the rule book isn't followed?

Refs totally gagging on their swallowed whistles that last minute.

try introducing someone to this sport and explain what a penalty is. You'll look like fool in no time.

This is the true narrative...not that sid is still hurt.

NHL playoffs... where the rules on penalties, goals, suspensions change base don score and series. #parity

There have been some pretty ugly crosschecks by the Pens. Not saying you're wrong but they need to call it even.

Yep, I saw 2 or 3 missed cross checks from the Pens, a few maulings around the Sens net that didn't get called... buuuuut.. they call that soft interference that everyone gets away with like 95% of the time? I wouldn't be mad at that interference call if it was consistently called... but it never is.
