I heard that the Pens play by play team were calling the Islanders "an embarrassment to the league". Tonight, I'd say that was Pittsburgh, not the Isles.

Did you even watch the game? Hillen, Gilles all just jumped Penguin's players.

Both teams were complete embarrassments. That was not a hockey game.

Admittedly, nope. Was following a lot via box score and Twitter comments. Comments like the from the Pittsburgh PbP crew don't surprise me in any case, though - I know some people think Ken and Mickey are homers, but those guys take homerism to a whole new level. But if the Isles were instigating it, well, that's that.

Isn't Bob Errey one of the play-by-play guys?

Yeah, I agree Pens commentators are complete homers.

But both teams are completely deserving of the blame, it was quite a pathetic showing for both teams. It was a gong show in every sense of the word. There will be several suspensions for both teams. Really embarrassing for the league imho.

[HOCKEY MATTERS]

both teams should be proud of themselves. the nhl won't call penalties with consistency, so these two highly esteemed and honorable teams use their highly regarded reputations to point out the flaws in the referees. plus, i don't give a s***....a good beatdown on s***tsberg is always in order.

Any surprise that O'Halloran was one of the refs for this game?

Nope, edi, not surprised at all.

Im never a fan of these guys that cannot score or even skate... All they are in there for is to be goons. Probert was never dressed just to fight Kocur was never dressed just to fight. The league has really deteriorated to this crap. Fights are great entertainment but this was stupid.

I'm really curious what kind of suspensions are handed out from this fracas. And I hope the league is fair for a change.

[wings1110]

im all for fights but this is 2 much. not to say i dont enjoy seeing the pens get beat up.

[matt198913]

I'm thinking probably 10 for Goddard... A couple for Gillies, Taveres, Haley, and Martin. Maybe a few for Talbot for being a punching bag...

[GMRwings1983]

NHL getting fun again with these two brawls in one week, plus a goalie fight.

[e_prime]

I just can't believe Hailey. Fought Talbot. Took him down. Went straight after Johnson.

Sign him Kenny.

Oh and I'd give anything to attend the next game between these two. Should be a fun one.

Godard and Gillies were only the real true goons in that game. Noone else really is. Martin is a young prospect that is going to be like a Mccarty type, and noone else really did a whole lot goonish.


PS anyone else find it weird Konopka didnt do anything this game lol?

[e_prime]

:thumbup:Sign him Kenny.

He gets a goal, a roughing penalty, three fights, and two game misconducts.

As far as Konopka goes, wasn't on the ice when most of the "action" took place, but at least he knows he needs to stay on the bench when things get scrappy.

He had a sick goal as well

[wingfan13]

I didn't see the game but this all start because of the usual ? The Penguins crying because they were losing and losing bad ?

[VM1138]

What the hell even caused that? I wish the video showed more. All we saw were a couple fights and a lot of people laying on the ground. I didn't see who started it, but whoever it was was a ******. Laid out a colossal hit on a guy and then immediately get up and start punching him before he even recovers? There's no history of bad blood between these teams, is there? Why the hell would it be such a HUGE event? Because one player was injured?
