That oversides call that took away the Preds goal changed all the momentum of the game. Preds came out flying, and that call, right or wrong, took the wind out of their sails, just to mix a metaphor.

I don't like this offsides replay crap. Especially when it's that close. If they are going to split hairs like that then they need to find a way to automate it so it will be called right away.

Allow me to do the reverse pens fan.
The league is against the Preds to win it. They're not the "sexy" pick. They're not the highly visible team. They don't have the highly marketable names the pens do (save for PK). Stop giving Crosby free reign to interfere or do whatever he feels like and punish the Preds for even being on the ice.
Btw.that was interference on Crosby.

I think we need to thank our vets whether they are the ones who perished for us or are serving today for our benefit.
I wore my Poppie proudly today.
I didn't know that thanking a Vet on Memorial Day was offensive to Vets.
If that's the case then I am sorry, but I think they will take my thanks with honor.

I'm not a fan of it either. It's one thing, if the offsides is blatant. But when it's that close, to take away a goal......

Interesting take. You could be right. It certainly seems like Crosby and the Pens have been getting away with poop for years....

Total interference by Crosby right before the first goal.

If they show a conclusive shot of his skate off the ice then I have no problem taking it away, however I haven't seen the conclusive evidence to take away a goal.

Probably because Crosby gives Bettman a weeks worth of bj's right before the playoffs. Just look at his teeth. There not that jacked up because of hockey.

So I hope you guys will wish me luck this week. We play our 2nd game of the baseball tournament tomorrow. We lost a heartbreaker last Thursday.
I actually, for the first time in 3 months, did absolutely nothing yesterday. Today I worked in the yard and grilled some burgers. Mine was a 1 pound burger stuffed with muenster & havarti cheeses. Mmmmmm, good.

Edit - go Preds

WTF! Who's doing the color with doc? Saying Forsberg made sure to sell that call.

I guess he sold that 2nd penalty.
Come on Preds

Yes!

Pens are winning. I stepped out to do some other things. If they were down 6-0 I'd be glued to the TV!
