2016-2017 Pens----Still with 100% more Kessel

So, as a novice who's only been watching this game for the last couple of years, I have to ask. How much of the inequity in "letting them play" that I see is real and how much is me looking at things through black/gold colored glasses?
 
The NHL is a ******* joke.....

If they gift the joke Sens a final I hope they enjoy the ratings they get from a half assed team that cant sell out a game 6 with everything on the line.
 
Crap,,,,just realized Thursday is my wife's birthday....and she hates hockey....anyone know a good divorce lawyer? :)
 
NHL officiating is a joke. I mean there is clear intent to injure **** that isn't getting called. That isn't cool.
 
Anderson played a heck of a game and basically won that for the Sens. Of course, the horrible penalty taken by Hainsey setup the 5-on-3 after the unfortunate high stick call.

The calls were ****. Daley's robbed goal was the turning point.
The Pens went very Byslma like and acted in frustration. A lot is I think Crosby's concussions really give him a short temper.
Aside from the negatives, there is still a game 7. Re-group, focus up and realize; Anderson is not a god

The intent to injure and even if you don't consider that thuggery, the idea that the NHL loves that its highly skilled players can be neutralized by goons is everything that's wrong with the league. Every other league wants to showcase its stars, but not the NHL.

It's real. Both teams get away with some garbage, but Ottawa is getting away with **** between the whistles, after the whistles, all game long. As someone mentioned before, eye gouging. Really? Pens had chances. Gotta finish. Until they do, winning is gonna be hard.

This **** has been going on for so long its really nothing new. I remember the same argument with Lemieux and Jagr on the ice. The argument is as valid now as it was then.

Murray played his *** off. A one timer on a 5 on 3, and a screen with his linemate running interference (literally) that he didn't see. Too bad Anderson was getting all of his parts on every shot. He was a wall tonight and was the player of the game.
 
If clutching and grabbing is your game, OTT is fantastic at it, esp when they are not called for it, but Hainsey does? That's what kills me. Every time the Pens have the puck in Ottawa's end, a Penguin is on the ice. They are grabbed, tripped, held, but the Sens get away with it. You can see why fans wonder how much these games are tilted.

I saw that. Methot gouging Sid's eyes. Should've been called. Pageu with a whip leg on Bonino. Utter trash. The Pens are not saints either, but the dirty tactics by the opposition really gets annoying

The Pens did enough to win. The officiating evened the score tonight. Pens will kick their ***** next game. Have faith. **** never comes easy

The problem is not calling the rule book. It happens in the regular season and playoffs. Call the penalties when they occur. When teams are SH 15-20 times a game, the garbage will stop. Review games, discipline officials for letting **** go. Do that, the game will open up, stars will be stars, and guys like Stone and Hoffman can get on with their life's work.

It was Sid? Caught a quick glance at it and thought it was Rust. Either way, looked like he skated up to the held player with the INTENT to go straight for his eyes. If that's not the INTENT to injure, I'm not sure I know what is.

Rust was tangled up with Karlsson. Sid was after Ryan I believe and Methot came from behind, with an eye gouge and a half. As much as I love winning Lord Stanley, damned it be that some dirty ******* like Methot get to touch it.

Again, the Pens absolutely did enough to win, but this game was badly called to force a game 7
 
We'll get them. Just wasn't our night(**** you Bettman)
 
I want to beat Ottawa now. Going into this series they never bothered me. **** these guys. Need some good vibes rocking thursday
