aaaaaand rinaldo to the box.

Just dumb. Team has some momentum, and are back in the game and he takes a mindless, selfish penalty.

Call it even after the Coburn-icing incident.

That's the way I see it. 2 huge mistakes that turned into goals for both sides. Still though, the refs have looked the other way many times in the first period.

need to get rid of zac rinaldo.


NOT because he isnt a good player, I like him a lot for his role



Hes been tagged by the league so that any little thing he does is called, its a darn shame cause i like his game. Then again Matt Cooke is up for an award so who knows

It's a shame really....half of Zac's penalties aren't penalties. He'd be a FANTASTIC 4th line energy guy if the refs would stop with the reputation calls....he gets under the skin of everyone in his first 2 shifts...

It's a shame the refs have to take that away from him

*AUTHOR'S NOTE* This is not in reference to this past call...I haven't seen it yet- not saying it's a rep call. I'm talking generally here....

Not particularly. If Rinaldo is going to play with a lack of discipline, put Harry Z in.

Yes. CNBC is showing the Wings/Preds game. Every playoff game is being televised on National TV this year for the first time. Means all games in High Def, finally.

Grossmann is either incredibly rusty, nervous or both.
