I know, they need to call this type of thing. He totally obstructed MAF. No way he could have made his next save..... LOL though.

I think they didn't call it because they couldn't make up their minds.

Unsportsmanlike conduct (diving) or interference? So, they just forgot about it ;) we really got away with one there, it could have cost us the game...

I could just see the pit local newspapers the next morning.

News headline- "Thomas Holmstrom new King of Divers"

Breaking News - "Thomas Holmstrom hauled away in cuffs in pitsburgh after game 3, being charged with attemped murder against Pitsburgh netminder Marc-Andre Fleury" / When coach Therrien was interviewed after the game, he had only this to say - "Dis was juss lucky vur us dat da bwutal addack on fluwwy waddn't a tucksexxvul vun" and later added "Homsdrum is juss guud akter, he vewwy guud at obstruking fluwwy's abiwity to make de zave"

Really though...go over to the letsgopens board, and just read about them whining that we're getting away with LITTLE MINISCULE obstruction hooks, and holds...and yes the wings do that, but in a way that is borderline illegal/legal so to call it all would be soft. But for them to ***** about us getting away with that, and then cheer for orpik (i think thats who threw homer) throwing holmstrom into the net like a damn javelin, just proves their "our team can do no wrong, we're MAGICAL" mindset. I hope homer (legally, because i wouldn't doubt therrien to cry rape otherwise) knocks the s*** outta brooks orpik in game 4.

I believe it was Gill who caused Homer to fall into the net.

Speaking of Gill, I've never seen someone get away with more blatant crosschecks to the back. I don't think Homer ever went to the bench with his helmet on.

In fairness to the referees, Gill did get 2 cross-checking minor penalties. I perfectly understand that the play where Holmstrom got injured in Gill pretty much just manhandled him and probably warranted some type of "interference" penalty. Just trying to see it from as many viewpoints as possible.
