I've only seen a few Pens games this year but every time I have to remember that they traded for Phil Kessel because he's absolutely invisible out there.

Kessel has set up Bonino with 2 glorious chances so far today, he just muffed both of them.

 

[Carlzner]

actually crosby beat oshie up pretty bad. i hope he returns to the game

Sure he did pal

 

[Fordy]

Sure he did pal

he looked pretty bloodied to me. crosby's gloved fists are like rocks

 

[Empoleon8771]

Nice edit.

It would've negated it, because it would've never happened if they would've actually made the easy call on Rust.

That makes literally no sense. Do you really think that Weber wouldn't have mugged Rust if the ref would have called a penalty on Rust? That's just downright stupid. Do you really think Weber looked at the ref, saw that there was no penalty and decided to mug Rust and take a penalty?

 

[MrBrightside]

Just be nice to get the Caps in the playoffs on the same rest. Second straight time we've played on the second of a B2B with the Caps rested. And with no Geno.

 

[Sam Spade]

This game is exactly why NO Capitals fan should ever wish to play the Pens in a playoff series. The series will be decided by the officials.

 

[Fordy]

i hope crosby doesn't decide to come after anyone else on the caps. could be rough for them

They don´t have Carlson though. But yeah, you have to consider those B2Bs for the Pens. The last time it played a huge role in Caps comeback win. The series between these two teams would be something special. The Pens are playing them hard.

Yes, the Pens being screwed out of a goal means the refs will decide the series against the Capitals

The refs have just sucked tonight, plain and simple.

You mean that terrible non-goal call? Yeah, the officials are pretty bad.

 

[mad4comp]

i just don't want to see anyone on the caps get hurt by that thug. they don't have anyone that can go with him

Crosby would be in the hospital. The only way he fights is if a ref is in between.

 

[Herregud]

Ref lost the puck and blew the whistle. Pens scored after the whistle was blown. Pretty textbook stuff. Of all the things to complain about, that's not one of them. No matter how much Crosby tries to bully the glass.

well yeah i'm crosby would visit them after the game. he has class

 

[MrBrightside]

Score adjusted CF% over their last 25 games played:

Pittsburgh: 55.6% (2nd in NHL)
Washington: 48.9% (20th in NHL)

Interesting

obviously the problem is an nhl ref lost sight of a loose puck so conveniently and easily. you understand the goal of reffing is to be able to follow the play at all times right

 

[mad4comp]

well yeah i'm crosby would visit them after the game. he has class

Are Hornqvist and Letang going to be rolling his bed by?

 

[mel]

Patrick Kane looks weird with that hat on.

The puck wasn't covered, so it's completely justified to complain about that.

 

[Winston Wolf]

That makes literally no sense. Do you really think that Weber wouldn't have mugged Rust if the ref would have called a penalty on Rust? That's just downright stupid.

It actually makes perfect logical sense. If the play would've been blown dead immediately (Penguins had next possession), there's a good chance Weber doesn't rough him at all or perhaps only gets a matching penalty. Instead, the ref called a penalty with the Caps headed into the Penguins' zone, giving the Penguins a PP.

 

[Fordy]

Are Hornqvist and Letang going to be rolling his bed by?

that doesn't make much sense i'm afraid

I don't know how he could have lost sight of the puck other than simply closing his eyes. That wasn't "textbook stuff", it was a horrible call and you know it.

 

[Call me betty*]

Caps are so overrated. LOL 12 shots on a tired Pens team that played yesterday, this is supposed to be best team in the east by far????

Should've been 0 goals by them if Fleury didn't go full moron.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Capitals account talking trash on twitter sure is something.

It doesn't matter who the calls favor, Caps or Pens, the players on the ice will not have the biggest say.
