That could be the most ridiculous call I've seen tonight. Orpik holds Briere and then doesn't allow him to skate anywhere but into Fleury and Briere gets the box. :nonono:

Great shot by Richards, and a killer SH goal to give up if you're PIT with 0:23 seconds remaining in the period. That's a b*tch-slap if I ever saw one.

It looks like Hatcher "thanked" the ref as he skated away from the penalty box following the goal.

Hatcher is one pissed off man tonight. Whenever the whistle blows he pushes/gives a nudge to anyone in a black sweater.

What a gorgeous pass. Absolutely nothing Fleury could do about that.

If you're referring to the white haze that was around the glove *and* the puck that seemed to be from the zoom in, and it was there before the puck even crossed the line.

Of course it was a goal, but with Biron's glove covering the puck thus not allowing the war room to see the white they need overturn the initial ruling, it can't be ruled a goal.

I don't think it was. I'll have to rewatch it at the next commercial.

The thing that bothers me is when 30 people announce a goal, PP or something of the like. There are people that aren't able to watch or listen to the game and appreciate the updates, but once someone announces it it would be nice if others didn't follow suit.

Wow! It looks like the puck is over, but Biron's glove covers it to keep it from being 100% certain. This will be an interesting call.

Crosby's nodding his head as if he scored. Inconclusive IMO, so you gotta go with the ruling on the ice.

Dupuis off for 2:00. Wonder why they blew the play dead? I didn't see anyone but Flyers touch the puck? Edit: Matching Minors....that's why.

Biron was definitely playing the pass on that one, which just can't do. You gotta hug the post and rely on your Dmen to cover the back-end.

I rest my case.

Extremely costly penalty...atleast the first PP is almost over. What I said a single post ago is ringing more and more true by the minute.

These are the situation where Philly will sink or swim. Killing these first period penalties and atleast staying even in the game will come back to pay dividends as the game wears on.

And Pit gets the only Penalty Roughing

Wow! A lot of haymakers thrown!

I was just about to start this thread until I quick got caught up reading a different one. Go Flyers.

TBH, I don't believe that's completely accurate. When Stevie announced he'd miss the Olympics Gretzky took the number out of contention for that Olympic year out of respect for Stevie. Sakic, Doan and Thornton didn't have the chance to wear their coveted 19.

Neither will be suspended and neither should be in my opinion. Had Ozzie not hindered Ribeiro's progress by putting his stick out, Mike would've never swung his stick at Oz. To me, that's why there won't be a suspension, because the league will look at this as Oz "kind of" started it and Robeiros' swing didn't have a horrific outcome. While its no excuse, Ribeiro was frustrated after dropping the first two games and a lot of times the littlest things can set people off when emotions are riding as high they are this time of the year. That being said, I don't like that Ribeiro swung his stick at Oz. If he's got some beef with Osgood for holding his stick out, he should've went up to him and gave him a little push. You can't start swinging sticks just because you're upset. Oz certainly didn't have to impede his progress, but every single goalie does that when an opposing player skates by. They try and make the opponent skate further away giving their teammates a little more time to play the puck. I truly believe all Oz was trying to do was to force Riberio to take a further route to get to the puck, and it just so happened that it caught Mike up high. Edit: (Kelsey) Grammar

Turco is freakin' whiner! Cry me a river!

Ack! Raf has gotta bury that!

0:12 5-on-3 coming.

Great puck movement thus far on the PP!
