I think you're a troll.

8. Someone explain to me how Rinaldo got a double minor on that sequence at the end?
- opeth_pa

He got 2 for a crosscheck (legit considering time and state of game), 2 for unsportsmanlike (mouthing off), and a 10 for unsportsmanlike (mouthing off). Probably the most accurate call(s) the refs made all day.

Taking down post now, when you bad mouth or question Mario?? Really??? Is this what its come down to??? Hahahahaha!!!

Wait at least 24 hours before referring to anyone on another NHL team as a puke.

I hope the same little shots the pens took on giroux and co. today happen to poster boy on wedneday. Beacause that would be really fan to hear this fanbase react.

Because he hasn't been taking them his whole career already? I remember watching Hatcher knock Crosbys teeth out with a high stick in Crosbys rookie year. The good players get whacked around. Look at the Rangers with Karlsson.

1. I go back to what i have been saying all along..The Pens have the higher all world talent (Malkin and Crosby vs Giroux) while the Flyers have more talent over all. As you get into their lines 2-4 it's a bit crazy. They can roll every line..they can all skate..they can all play..They have 20 goals in 3 games without a single goal from there leading goal scorer.

2. Penguins best bet would have been to let their all world talent try and win rather then trying to out goon a team that simply doesn't have a lot of goons in its current shape.

3. Fleury has forgotten how to contain a rebound.

4. The Flyers have more team speed then the Penguins.

5. Neal should get suspended for the hit on Couturier. Defenseless player, no where near the puck , left his feet. I didn't fine the Asham play(square on to Schenn) to be as bad yet I bet he gets a suspension and Neal gets a fine based on the roles the play.

6. Bryz played horrible giving up 2-3 weak goals in the first two periods. He was able to clamp it down when required in the 3 .

7. Letgang has to be smarter then that. He is arguable a top 5 dman in the league and to get thrown out in a crucial game for the Pens is beyond selfish.

that kind of over-the-top penalty to Rinaldo is what the refs should have done 10 minutes earlier ... then none of that other junk happens.

refs lost control of the game ... then tried to get it back on Rinaldo's call.

I wanna see what Mario does with this... especially after his rant last yr vs the islanders. I wont make any assumptions, so lets wait and see how the pens org handles this

Even if Rinaldo did nothing he's the first guy they'll try to get out in a game like that. The refs should have been ejecting people half way through the 3rd. They lost control.

Anybody know if one of John's blog comments sections has ever gone over 1,000 before...we're in the 850's now....

I took it down not because of what you said but the post you quoted. I thought you were better than this though Vukota, guess I was wrong.

I'll take it a step further and not be a hypocritical Flyers fan here: Rinaldo shouldn't have been on the ice.

I guess the Pens will join my boys on the Golf course.

and...

Rinaldo was dumb enough to say he could get away with more at the start of the series. That's how I read that...he gets away with nothing because of that comment.

I think that after the Isles brawl there were over 1000 comments. Normally we get 200-400 on a gameday.

That's a lot of 'talent'...but not at golf.

Well hopefully your team comes out with a better effort when their backs are against the wall. Losing sucks, but losing like that is a kick in the nuts.

Karmas a female dog son. Hopefully the Flyers toss some out Next game. Cant wait.

Agreed. The refs thought Kimmo/Letang sent the message but it obviously didn't get through. I've seen plenty of games where the slightest bit of any garbage gets a 10. Should have happened today.

Yea But I made NO assumptions and im NOT trolling... it is a very valid question

I can see why he was though. Can't just watch your best players get cheapshotted and do nothing about it. I don't blame Lavi there.

I don't even know what I quoted Don't take it personal, you're one of the few pens fans on here who is ok in my book. Face it most of these idiots on here have it coming so don't act all shocked its going down.

This is the reason Shaw was tossed for his hit on Smith last night.
