GDT: Game #82. Pens in Philly. 3:30 pm Sat.

[Speaking Moistly]

Why does Pierre try to say every word incorrectly. Jeff Zatcallf.

Better than Kristopher Letang every ****ing time.

 

[KIRK]

Sestito got 5 for fighting and the guy who jumped him 2 for roughing? Is that true or am I unable to listen right?

I thought Sestito got 5 for the hit and the guy who jumped him got the extra 2 for 3rd man in.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Some magical officiating standard we have here. How exactly do the Flyers escape a major there?

 

[mgd525]

What a joke. Sestito gets 2 for an elbow...no elbow on the play then he gets 5 and kicked while the other gets a 2 minute roughing penalty ????????

 

[KIRK]

Zatkoff has made a couple of nice saves here.

They thought that he was defending a teammate from a dirty hit and didn't want to really punish it.

 

[Extra Texture]

As dumb as what he did was, if you're going to do it, then pick a better target than an inconsequential fourth line forward.

Yeah kind of wish Simmonds was out there to "defend" his teammate. He needed a smackdown for last week

 

[TNT87]

Hell of a kill.

 

[Waffle Fries]

That was fun

 

[AquaticBirdman]

Zatkoff came up big.

Did I just say that?

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

LOL at Flyers not scoring on this 5 min major

 

[JakeNBake59]

Hell of a kill.

 

[WayneSid9987]

VanDeVelde actually started the fight and he gets 2. lol

You remember that one time when Cole did the same and got 2 for a "cross check"

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Feel bad, Flyers.

 

[JakeNBake59]

last few months the standard of officiating has been disgraceful

 

[AquaticBirdman]

VanDeVelde actually started the fight and he gets 2. lol

Was that 2 mins as per the "instigator" rule?

 

[ThaKloned]

Great kill.

 

[mgd525]

So lets see if I got this right ? Sestito got kicked for a 2 minute Elbow and a flyer starting a fight with him ? what a JOKE

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Yep. NHL officiating is abysmal and has no consistency.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

Don't worry. I'm sure the refs will gift them at least a couple more before this one is done.

 

[UnrealMachine]

I'd die of laughter if Zatkoff stonewalls them for the full 5.

He kind of did...

 

[Hophog]

No surprise there. Everyone else can throw blindside hits and if the Pens respond they get the instigator. Remember Dumo responding to Oshie's hit on Bennet. He didn't hit him or drop the gloves. Oshie hit Bennet from behind, no penalty and Dumo got 2 minutes for roughing when he did absolutely nothing. Refs are garbage on every level. Lets call the game based on a teams identity and not based on the rules. Flyers can drop the gloves and throw punches with no calls because that's the M.O. Pens M.O. is speed and skill so they aren't allowed to play physical or answer hits. Disgusting. I"m glad Sestito, at least, got a big piece of White and Whites reaction showed how much he was hurtin.

Was that 2 mins as per the "instigator" rule?

2 mins as per the 'magic wheel-o-punishment' app on their phones.

They said he didn't fight so he didn't get the 2 for instigating.
Just 2 for roughing.
