It's in the videos on TSN. There is a link somewhere on the first page.

Accurate.

We have talked about this enough. As stated in the rulebook, it is a delay of game if you touch the puck ON THE ICE in the crease. Osgood is not made of ice. I suppose you think the Pens should have batted it in off Ozzie's back? Well then that would be goaltender interference for whacking him with a stick so the goal would not have counted.

---WRONG - It doesn't say ON THE ICE in the offical NHL Rulebook at http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26355

No defending player, except the goalkeeper, will be permitted to fall on the puck, hold the puck, pick up the puck, or gather the puck into the body or hands when the puck is within the goal crease. For infringement of this rule, play shall immediately be stopped and a penalty shot shall be ordered against the offending team, but no other penalty shall be given.

He didn't "glove the puck" in game 2. He blocked the puck from going in my falling to the ice. Not illegal. It's called playing defense. Our forwards do that. Yours don't. Nice try.

---I disagree. I saw the puck go towards Zet, and then he covered it. He violated the rule by "gather {ing} the puck into the body or hands when the puck is within the goal crease"

Lastly, I see you completely ignored my comment on the game 3 penalty called on Orpik. How convenient. Now don't you feel silly thinking you called me out when when you didn't?

And for the record, there was no slash by Hossa.

How egotistical! I can't believe the TSN reporters said it was because of his "competitive nature". Even if that's true, shouldn't a great hockey player be able to tell what he does wrong from his tapes on his own? Some captain....

I have my underlings study some of the work I do, even though I'm recognized at being very good at it. The reasons are twofold - I'm realistic enough to know that I'm good at what I do and I want my guys to learn from watching me and I'm humble enough to know that I can and do make mistakes and that sometimes a 2nd set of eyes will see things differently or catch something that I missed.

I don't understand how the above reflects negatively on Crosby. Is requesting peer reviews a sign of a poor captain or a bad hockey player? I see it as a plus.

We all knew going into Game 3 that the calls were defintely going to favor the Pittsburgh Penguins and as much as I hate going back to this (man I wish I never would have heard this on the radio). The theory that the NHL is trying to help the Pens in anyway possible to get the Cup from Detroit this time around. What happened in Game 3 was outrageous. If you are going to tighten up on making calls than call everything that is why you have two refs on the ice now-a-days if you're not going to call stuff than don't call anything. The 6 men on the ice that the Refs may or may not have seen which if what someone said on here is try that one of the refs were telling one of th Pens to get off the ice than that should have been called.

We went up 2-1 in the first and of course we get a penalty which we all know the Wings can and are guilty of taking penalties and a lot of times they can be stupid penalties some of those thing should not have been called or the cross check that Franzen took and the haul down that another Wing took (can't remember who) all things that should have been called if your are going to call something like that on Ericsson. There better not be cheating going on and this thing that's going around better not be true or I will be writing a ton of letters to the NHL as soon as I can find the NHL's main office Address. I've wrote some E-mails but haven't got any responses from. I'll do whatever I can as a fan to make what I can right.

I'm going to wait and see how Game 4 goes tonight but if the NHL means Zero Tolerance than it should be Zero Tolerance for everyone and Malkin should have been suspended in Game 3.

Dude, seriously if the article had said he did it by himself for 6 hours people would say he is a horrible teammate and leader.

When it comes to Crosby, well, haters gonna hate!

Kind of like that phantom trip on Franzen in the first period?

Like that would ever happen. Pile of crap conspiracies will be flying up and down this forum.

Its more convenient and easier to blame the refs or the league than "your" teams shoddy play. When the Ducks eliminated us back in 2007, there was no shortage of people who blamed the refs. Nevermind the fact that we played like crap when we needed to play superior. I would expect no shortage of blame going around to the refs this year if we lose.

I use the quotes around "your" because there are pens fans on the LGP forum that believe that they are being conspired against as well. So no matter what, I guess the league or the refs are conspiring against one of these two teams. They just won't tell us which one. ;)

I DVR'd the game and watched it again the following day after seeing the uproar that Hank had covered the puck in the crease with his hand. At no point did ANY camera angle shown provide evidence to what you're saying. He DID bat the puck towards Osgood's back, but that is not illegal because he never covered the puck. In one of the top-down camera angles, it shows this quite well and you can see the puck laying in the middle of a triangle of Wings players -- but never covered. I know Pens fans keeping harping on this, but it's like the non-existant Hossa slash. Upon further review, it simply did not happen. It was blatantly apparent, however, that the Pens were the beneficiaries of a 20+ second 6 on 5 power play in game three.

I have no conspiracy theories on the series. I think it's been called reasonably well, with the whistles mostly put away, but the refs should either call 'em all or don't call 'em. Giving the Pens a PP on a B.S. interference call at the 10 minute mark of the third period of a close, 2-2 tie game is crap. Let 'em play instead of deciding the game through officiating.

Depends on if you're a Pens fan or a Wings fan. I was over it the second no penalty shot was awarded. The Pens fan I was responding to ... apparently not. See, that's why quotes are so darn useful on a forum board. :thumbup:
