Might be one of the worst 3rd periods i've seen... not to our fault really.. just holy hell

I would have liked someone like Downie to take a two handed slash to the back of Ovi's legs hard hopefully it would have ended in some ripped ligaments. No one will even try for retribution on him.

I can't stand the fact he can do what the f*ck he wants to on the ice and not receive any punishment as far as penalty. Joel Ward is such a wussy. He was hurt on that? Please.

The high road just aint working for this franchise. Someone needs to step up and call the league out. Its not like it can get any worse. Its like the league goes out of its way to distance itself from any kind of "cater to crosby" conspiracy. We cannot win these games...its almost impossible. Nevermind 4 out of 7 of them in the postseason. When letang got called for that slash I would have loved to see the team just leave...walk off the bench to the dressing room and go home. Fans there wouldnt have cared either.

Dont look now but Caps are catching pens in the standings.

These Washington announcers are bordering on Edwards and Brinkley bad. Ovie did nothing to Letang, and the Penguins are thugs for going after Ovie.

As they put it "Letang tripped on his own"....really? Wow

Pens lose yet again to a playoff team. Its cool, CBJ on thursday they can win that game.

Can someone explain to me why there wasnt a penalty on ovechkin?

Seriously. How can someone just 2 hand slash a player and get away with it? Jesus. No words.

That's why you have to hurt one of their players. That's the game the NHL wants. Obviously....

Crosby slammed his stick against the glass 4 months ago and the league is making a point.

Because teams can do what they want to the Pens this year and get away with it. The Pens however, get everything called against them this year. its a joke. I don't know how anyone in the organization hasn't said something about it.

Might have been brought up already, but no call for that egregious hook on Malkin? Come the (frank) on.

I thought they did keep their emotions. Terrible missed call then they call every ticky tack call on us. Adams eats punches gets a penalty. Kunitz clean hit gets a penalty. Call ovi and nothing happens. Terrible. Nhl should be ashamed.

However, they score 2 ppgs and we score 0.... Again. Down one with a minute left and we are passing around the perimeter for 35 seconds on a pp with fleury pulled. Wtf is that?

So many things to female dog about so I'll throw a unique observation out here...

where is Tocchet? He is supposed to be the balls behind the bench. For gods sake even insurance salesman Mike Johnston barked at the refs. Why does he do nothing? Why does he say nothing? On top of that, why does he not show one iota of displeasure when the powerplay isnt scoring, or even shooting the f*cking puck? He was supposed to help change our identity. He was supposed to be the bad cop. I've seen absolutely nothing this season to suggest that and his powerplay is failing.

I don't recall that. Which game?

I loved seeing Johnston get angry on the bench though, he needs to get even angrier and do it more often imo

Pens make a point and walk out in the middle of a game...not gonna kick the team out of the league....seriously if the nhl is that pathetic we all should look to start watching a new sport. This is just flat out not amusing to watch at all.

I don't recall that. Which game?
- joescullz

I can't remember what game, but there was a significant change in the way our games have been called. They're basically on strike against us since.

Against the Rangers

Na... I say make one of his team mates pay for it.
- madmike71

I agree. If OV doesn't man up to take it out on a team mate and let OV know he's responsible for that

- Id_Puck_Me

What when it would have been a clear break away if they didn't, no it's not a penalty if you do it to Malkin and he will have a breakaway, says so right in the rule book

He needs to do it to the press, because this being PC isn't getting it done.

This was a great game for a coach to take a misconduct. If not, one of them needs to go off in the post game. Preferably tocchet or even gmjr.

The Kunitz call was crap but Letang cant slash that dude like he did to break the stick. Just cant do it. The 5-4 was winning time and the Pens lost their cool again. Cup teams keep their poise, kill the 5-4, and go on to win the game more often than not. Plays like that from 58 are why some of us question him when the chips are down.

You're all glossing over that and making the same excuses you all accuse other fan bases for. Its the refs fault. They wanted the Caps to win. PLEASE.

Caps are badass. They're bigger. Faster. More skilled. More physical. Have a better coach. They're deeper.

Pens aint beating them or the Isles in a playoff series presently constructed.

He got hauled down on a partial break if im not mistaken..and no call...shock im sure. He got pissed and slammed his stick while lying facedown on the ice...I hink this was the situation.

- Dcoms

But actually though, I feel like the refs are actually calling these games by a different rule book lately

This team needs a coach with some stature. Not a soft spoken professor. Nice guy, decent coach, but this team needs a ball buster. Not just for dealing with the refs, but dealing with stars.

Amen! That would be great, but I won't hold my breath haha
