On the Pens boards they're saying, in general, that they're the better team and that we are cheating with all the interferences (i wish NBC wouldn't have said that on ******* national television, especially when every ******* team does it constantly).

Seriously. Every team does it. It's just like "cheating on faceoffs." Every team does it. If they were to look hard enough they'd find that those angelic Pens of theirs do it too.

Ridiculous.

1 power play per team, so special teams were not the reason for the game. It was a 5 on 5 game. If the Pens can't put more than 1 goal on the board in 60 minutes for 2 nights in a row, then you know what, go f*** yourselves, because you have nobody to blame but yourselves. Oh yeah, and by the way, blame your goalie. He's been softer than my fabric softener.

They'll have all summer to say that after their team gets swept.

[Firehawk 305]

Awww...

No Crosby presser tonight? Damn...

[heed316 7]

No Pens go to the podium eh?

I don't care and read it on Tsn but, I want to know how they can ignore the rule 100%

A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five (5) minutes of regulation time or at any time in overtime, shall be assessed an instigator minor penalty, a major for fighting, a ten minute misconduct and an automatic one-game suspension. The length of suspension will double for each subsequent offense. In addition, the player's coach shall be fined $10,000 -- a fine that will double for each subsequent incident.

Automatic means the league should have no say and it happens no matter what the circumstances are. I don't understand how the NHL picks and chooses which rules that are written in a rule book are enforced.

I don't really think it's going to matter but, I just want to know how they get to pick and choose when to use the rule book and when not too.

IF Detroit was a chronic interferer I believe they would always have a man in the penalty box. Pittsburgh and Detroit both got away with a lot, o anybody saying that Detroit's "iinterference" was why we won, clearly knows nothing about hockey and is just trying to be a parrot to Eddie Olcyks comment. Learn the sport, are there tiny inteferences subtly oh yeah, does every team do it oh yeah, was it a penalty 10 years ago, oh no. The Interference call is a product of the many PP high scoring post lockout NHL that Bettman has strived to create., This series has had a let them play mentality by the refs, and both teams are getting away with a lot of post lockout penalties...I am loving it...this is pre lockout hockey officiating, and the way the game is meant to be played.

In other news, Colin Campbell and Gary Bettman were both injured in a post-game incident when they tripped over each other trying to be the first one to rescind Malkin's suspension.

Ninja Cleary appears in ur pres konfrenzes, takin ur questionsh.

[Guest Four]

And the suspension is already rescinded..

f*** YOU BETTMAN

[Systemfel 33]

Has to be a suspension. It's automatic. This whole situation is why the rule is there in the first place. To keep poor losers from jumping opponents.

I agree 100% and unlike some others, I want to see Malkin thrown out. I could care less if Pit is 100% of 85% or 50%. I want the cup. I don't care what it takes. People only remember that you won.

[betterREDthandead 58]

I'm also thinking Talbot should have gotten a spearing penalty for his little jab at Osgood. It was pretty marginal and I guess you could make the case he was going for the puck, but still. Glad the refs at least called something, but that was a spear, not a slash.

So was Bylsma more upset about the possible suspension or that it could cost him $$$ ? Just wondering.

I think that it is a matter of the fact that that has been the prescident all playoffs. Perry and Walker both got the same treatment earlier, it is not unique to Pittsburgh, I think the league would keep a suspension if it resulted in injury or was something premeditated instead of an emotional boil over. Im not surprised or upset by no suspension.

NHL has rescinded the instigator suspension.

GEE, NEVER SAW THAT ONE COMING.

Ok, Osgood embellished that a little bit. Still, its good to see the Wings fight back against the Pens.

They did that all night long when they had to. They took no s*** from any Pen in front of the net. VERY good to see.

[Electrophile 3,554]

If Malkin is not suspended, I'm going to be pissed. You don't do that s***.

I totally agree with you 100%. How to you change the rules to cater to certain players? That is just beyond me. A rule is a rule for a reason! Without rules, there's chaos!

What s***? Try to fight?
