Playoff Hockey Thread part 2.

"Upon further review, the NHL has instructed us to help the Pens win all costs, therefore we have no goal."

Yep. Expect ******** calls all series.

The Blue line is part of which ever zone the puck is in. The puck was in the NZ so the entire puck needs to over the line (white ice showing). Other wise, the puck is in the NZ while Forsberg's left skate is in the offensive zone and his right skate is off the ice. Off sides.

The idiot announcer (Olcyk) doesn't even know the rules so don't feel bad about missing this detail.

If Forsberg has control of the puck (control is a judgement call) prior to entering the zone, he is allowed to drag the puck over the blue line behind him (his skates entering the zone first). But that wasn't the case here.

Murray's nuts - 0, immovable goal post - 1

 

[Montag DP]

What happened to calling penalties for diving?

 

[kirby11]

Preds were stupid there, but if the roles are reversed, no way in hell do the pens get punished with a full 2 min. 5 on 3

 

[jc17]

There was surely a cross check, but also a real dive there.

 

[kirby11]

Of course. Not interference for Crosby to shove a guy to the ice when the puck is already past him. Thanks, refs.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

There was surely a cross check, but also a real dive there.

Yeah, but the Pens need all the breaks they can get, because Pittsburgh.

And now they're up 1-0.

 

[Montag DP]

Screw the Penguins. Freaking divers.

 

[Havok89]

I can't believe I follow this sport sometimes. Nashville fans should be furious.

Correction: All non-Pens fans should be furious.

 

[Afino]

this officiating is ridiculously biased

 

[jc17]

If I wasn't angry enough about the calls themselves, reading the comments from Pen's fans on the main board GDT put me over the edge.

 

[kirby11]

Just switched to the baseball game on ESPN.

While the playoffs have been great to watch this year, watching Nashville vs. Pittsburgh and the refs will just be annoying.

 

[Montag DP]

this officiating is ridiculously biased

What did you expect? It's the Penguins. I don't know why I thought this might be entertaining when I started watching, but I'm done.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

The refs might as well wear these at this rate:

 

[Ace]

Series is over.

Refs destroyed this team with three calls ina few minutes.

The dive on the first penalty was even worse than overturning the goal.

 

[ZZamboni]

If I wasn't angry enough about the calls themselves, reading the comments from Pen's fans on the main board GDT put me over the edge.

And why did you go over there?

I don't subject myself to such obnoxiousness and dramatics

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

The moment we've all been waiting for:

 

[kirby11]

Poor Nashville.

Hopefully they can fight back and at least make this a game.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

The moment we've all been waiting for:

This league is pathetic. I'll find some other way to entertain myself than watch the pens be handed another cup.

 

[Montag DP]

The moment we've all been waiting for:

The NHL needs to get rid of this rule, unless they're prepared to make any play reviewable up to the last whistle. It's so stupid and arbitrary, and it's been a disaster since day 1. Not to mention that that particular play is too close to call anyway.

 

[boots electric]

i'm not surprised the league **** its collective pants less than 20 minutes into the first game of the stanley cup finals, but i'm still mad as hell about it

 

[ZZamboni]

omg it counted?

Amazing

 

[joshjull]

The Pens are lucky as hell to be leading right now
