Say what you will about the Pens, they get top six players out of absolute nobodies.

Playing with excellent players will do that.

Though with Guentzel, he was a a great prospect that went under the radar because he is tiny. He was only a nobody because he has the physical profile of a nobody in the eyes of many NHL people. His pre NHL resume was very strong (I really wish we would dig into the non NTDP USHL a bit more.)
 
Sam: It looks like the Penguins will get another power play on the delayed penalty, Joe. Penguins maintain possession, Malkin shoots! Save by Shesterkin! He has the puck in his pads, but no whistle. Pens continue to poke away at it. And now the whistle is finally blown. Uh oh, Trouba might go too. He took down Rust in the scrum trying to protect Shesterkin.

Joe: I'm counting 1, 2...8... 14 Penguins on the bench, Sam, plus six on the ice plus the two referees, so Pittsburgh with 22 players right now, Sam.

I don’t know how you can follow this league and think otherwise? Did you happen to see Krieder get cross checked right in the face the other day, or Tarasenko get elbowed in the head? Both of which were clearly observed by the officials? Perhaps you remember Hagelin being suspended in the playoffs for a perfectly fine hit on Alfredson, but a much more reckless hit by the Ottawa player on Motte gets zippo! It’s been this way for over twenty years and there’s little you, or anyone else is going to do to change my mind.

Schneider and KAM out together at night could slay whatever they choose


Game management conspiracy. The league doesn't want blowouts, especially for national games

I think it’s way more insidious than this.

If someone can explain to me what exactly Fox did to get a penalty vs Washington on Tuesday, I would really appreciate it.

If you really think the league is conspiring to help the Pens by directing the refs to cheat, I can't help you.

All fan bases think they're getting cheated. Refs can't call hockey effectively. They've proven that over the years. Too fast, too many moving parts. Then throw in the natural inclination to wonder if you're going to seem like you're calling too may one way or the other and yeah refs suck. But a league wide plot. You may as well turn off the games.

I don't think the league is conspiring to help the Penguins but I feel like the standard for players is different as they go and that is the maddening part. The discipline body of the league from officials on the ice to the DoPS head just sucks. I don't have a good idea to fix it because I don't think it can be in any big way
 
Kinda bummed these two games are at home so I can't revel in Pittsburgh's sweet and delicious hatred of Trouba
