What the hell? Canucks don't want to win this game.

 

[Captain Bowie]

We felt bad for Pittsburgh, wanted to keep it a one goal game.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Edler kind of helped Vey fumble that.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That brought me joy.

 

[Captain Bowie]

We felt bad for Pittsburgh, wanted to keep it a tie game....

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Oh lordy.
That Malkin kid is pretty good.

 

[X66]

Leafs need the penguins to win this an sneak into the playoffs.

Two 1st round picks in the top 20 would be great.

 

[hockeykicker]

expect a canucks pp soon. they havent had one all day and pens have had 5

 

[Captain Bowie]

Well we've really Nucked up this game.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

expect a canucks pp soon. they havent had one all day and pens have had 5

We've been getting favorable calls all night, that's for sure. Which is nice.

Don't count on that....

 

[BHD]

lol @ Desjardins on the bench.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

A rarity, for sure...I'll take it, especially after phantom call city kept the Flyers in the last game.

To be fair, most of the Vancouver calls have been by the book calls, but the Canucks should have had at least 2 PP chances...I'll be shocked if they don't get one down the stretch, especially with the scoreboard flipping.

 

[polarbearcub]

Don't count on that....

Three of the games on this trip they've had 0

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Three of the games on this trip they've had 0

That's just stunning.

Over the course of the season you expect maybe 2 PP-less games...but that on a road trip is absurd.

Are the Canucks secretly employing Steve Downie or something?

 

[Sam Spade]

Love Malkin with the hatty, he's back in the Rocket race.

 

[canadianmagpie]

That's just stunning.

No clue, but let us know if they are.

It's not like the refs have had the opportunity to call a penalty on Pittsburgh, they just haven't.

 

[polarbearcub]

3 out of 6 games with no pps... Just bizarre

 

[The Drop]

Refs will put the whistles away now. Job is done.

Not as bad as the 10-1 Tampa game though

 

[Captain Bowie]

We got one!!!!

 

[polarbearcub]

Hey a pp!!

 

[hockeykicker]

told ya one was coming

 

[Big McLargehuge]

There's the penalty.

No clue, but let us know if they are.

It's not like the refs have had the opportunity to call a penalty on Pittsburgh, they just haven't.

There were a couple places where a call could have been made, but nothing egregious. That Dumoulin penalty call was weaker than the two no calls, but was to be expected given the situation.

 

[Captain Bowie]

So THIS is what it's like to be the better team and lose.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Holy **** balls, a Crosby empty netter!

He's going to be suffering some severe allergies tonight.

What a set-up to Hagelin to lead up to it...he's a better bunter than any of the Pirates pitchers.
