They got the call right...isn’t that the reason why we have replay? You can’t make subsequent rules to override a broken rule, say if the offsides team loses possession in the zone and regains it, then offsides cannot be reviewed...because it defies logic. The team should not have had possession in the zone in the…

Exactly....perception (which normally has no basis in reality). Calling off that goal was correct tonight. Pens had the same type of call go against them last round so I don’t even want to hear it. Crosby gets nailed on more than anyone in the league....he doesn’t cry about it nor should you.

Wasn’t hard to see this coming as a Pens fan. They were gassed from the Ottawa series just ending a couple days ago (not to mention they were already pretty beat up going into that series). If there ever was a game for the Preds to steal, this had to be it. Seems like the Pens slept walk through the game but they…

Were we watching the same game? I’m not Pittsburgh fan, but that was pretty conclusive. Shitty rule, but conclusive. And the refs have more angles.

Nice out of context tweet. Here’s the whole play:

Because of the perception of special treatment that the pens and hawks get from the NHL, where they were rewarded with multiple superstars after tanking for over a decade.

I felt bad for Ekholm... starts his shift, and 4 seconds later he’s putting it in his own net; I also didn’t think they were going to overturn that goal/offside

Pretty cool story. How the fuck the Pens won this game with 12 shots is a more ridiculous story. Not the first time they won a game being outshot. But this was something else.

I don’t think the Pens even care about winning the cup anymore, they just want to see how much hope they can inspire in the other teams and their fanbases before ripping out their hearts and taking a bite out of it. at center ice.

Or, more likely, the Pens wake and play their game.

You’re a moron. He absolutely is the most targeted player in the league. He doesn’t start shit. I’m sure he’d much rather go around racking up the points and not have to deal with getting cheap shotted (to the point he’s concussed and misses extended periods of time).

Whew... glad to see the other replies to Mike’s statement. I only started watching NHL again in the last few years (was a big fan in 70s and 80s—there, I outed my age demo). I never understood this dislike of Crosby. He’s an amazing hockey player. Fact is, if the NHL tried to have more players like him, it would have…

you know what’s more important than your stupid, baseless opinion? The opinion of his peers. They give the Ted Lindsay Award to the guy voted by the players as the most outstanding. Guess who’s won it 3 times.

Including an Emmy.

I said this to someone else but Crosby has been targetted every single game he’s played in since he was 7 years old. The guy receives the most abuse/cheap shots out of anyone in the league and it’s been like that for him for 23 years. The fact that he’s only ever had a few instances of retaliating in a negative way…

Does this garbage still count as a hot take if it’s had the last decade to cool off? Next, tell us about how sub-prime lending and CDOs area great ideas.

Exactly, especially since people forget that he has been targeted in every single game he’s played since he was 7.

Boo hoo. He wins, you lose. If Gretzky took as much abuse as Crosby does you never would have seen the records he was allowed to amass, due to his protection.

I see what you’re saying, I just hate how people don’t like him because apparently he whines too much.

I look for any reason I can to post this gif.
