Both the Pens head coach and captain said that the refs told them that they missed that call as a slash

NTM, Ovy and Letang had been jousting the entire period, I don't see this as accidental at all

The dive Letang took from barely being touch from Ovi, should have been called a penalty as well.

Watch the slowmo replay, look at the puck, the goal, and the direction ovi went with his stick along with te attempted chip around letang from his backhand to his forehand.

Letang tries to regain his balance after getting slashed on the back of the leg, catches a rut and looses an edge, before going head first into the boards... He should be fined for diving

Diving

Okay, to be fair, like inadvertent high-sticks that were meant for plays on the puck, this is kinda the same thing. Ovie should've been called for tripping but the refs clearly missed it.

The Pens on THEIR part, probably should've played it cooler instead of handing the Caps PP after PP...but, still, they did try to stick up for their teammate on a play that I think Ovie didn't do on purpose.


Anyhow, just my two cents.

black label

Well the pens are a cheap team of goons and cheaters

They lead the league in major penalties.
They lead the league in fights.
They are 5 minutes behind Winnipeg for the most total pims.

They don't really deserve the benefit if the doubt when it comes to infractions.

Regarding the Ovy BS, he didn't swing to shoot, you don't swing the stick like a baseball bat when you're shooting the puck

Yumcha

So, the Bruins can now join the Hawks, Kings, and Sharks in the hall of shame for losing to the worst sports franchise in the universe: Oilers.


Good job, Boston.

Movin on Up....to the McWaffle side.!!! Won 22 of the last 25. Almost there!

I've been telling you all season the B's are pretty crappy this year, you're the one convinced they still make the playoffs. I just hope they don't do a knee jerk reaction and start trading good players to "shake things up". The cap issues self resolve next year when Iginlas bonus money is paid off, this years an unfortunate wash (other than trading Boychuck when they didn't realize how mediocre the were).

Anyone who's been watching them regularly knows the second round is as far as they could possibly go.

black label

Had he not just chipped it over to that side around Letang I'd probably agree, since he did, I still think a player of his offensive caliber was attempting to put it on net

Big win for the Leaves tonight. Made up a crucial 2 points on the next team in the way of McWaffle.

Guess you didn't read my post from the last page huh....time for the B's to rebuild. Chara is the B's. Once he retires good luck.

black label

I'd disagree there and say Bergeron is the B's. Chara's definitely on the decline, he's going to have 3 overpaid years unless there is some remarkable resurgence in his game.

Malcolm Subban certainly isn't the answer. After his first nhl game his gaa is about 9

Ummm, this is where BlackLabel admonishes that you shouldn't build a team just to make the playoffs, you build it for one thing only: lift the cup. Time to hit reset. It's so easy, everyone is doing it.

Nice for the Pens to finally get a W. I've been saying to anyone who would listen that Hornqvist needed to be back up with Sid, and Kunitz needed to be down with Malkin. Both lines looked great last night. Looking forward to seeing more of those line combinations tonight

Yumcha

Okay, now that the Kings no longer are sucking so much, where's Moog coming back to tell us how we're all wrong about something? C'mon, man.

He's still recovering from the outdoor game

black label

I've been saying making trades to get a playoff appearance is a waste. The B's don't need a rebuild, they do need to fill a first line winger position with an actual nhl caliber first line winger and they need someone to replace Thornton on the 4th line. They have cap issues from Iginlas bonuses, even if they make trades they still have 4.1 less on the cap than every other team.

If anything I'm saying don't dick around trying to make the playoffs when there's no chance to lift the cup. Fix it over the summer when the iginla issue is resolved.

black label

Ahh that was awesome

Nothing better than seeing car bomb looking scared and praying for the lineamen to come save him from eating anymore right hands

Considering McQuaid towers over him, it's as fair as you fighting a kid.



Anyhow, Hawks deserve to be run out of the building...mid-season slump at high gear here.

Yumcha

But, a good spanking means I can leave the house and do something else now.

black label

I'm willing to bet carcillo started it, but seriously, mcquaid has anger management issues. He's always got this evil smile when he gets into fights.

With Thornton gone, McQuaid is the last guy on the b's I'd want to drop the gloves with.

black label

Remember that time Daniel Carcillo cheapshotted that player on your favorite team? This will make you feel better. Check out McQuaids smile around the 56 second mark, he's having fun with his new toy.

Fibonacci

Except it doesn't sound like B's owner is that patient.

In the post-cap world you obviously need to draft, develop talent well and exercise patience, if you gamble like Charelli has to win the cup now, you end up with cap issues. That's on your GM.

black label

A lot of fans see it the way I do, unfortunately most aren't season ticket holders. People who pay a lot of money for the team have a reason to bitch about the product on the ice and it's difficult for management to tell them to wait until next year.

Depending on his plan to right the ship at seasons end, I'd say Chiarelli's job is on the line. That is unless the can him ahead of time to appease the season ticket holders.
