I have,yet to see concrete video evidence that shows that his skate was off the ice and therefore offside, which is a stupid rule in of itself. The refs made it known early that they were going to be a part of this SC Final and of course it's gonna benefit Crosby and the Pens. And yes, the NBC crew needs to go. Between Eddie O and Pierre, you can practically hear them cheer for the Pens on every play. The NHL wonders why it's always looking up at other leagues. All this said, Rinne came up small last night. He has another game like that and this series is over.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
What's it matter if he's a fan of the home or road team? It's a crime if a road fan does it but not a home fan? If you can throw a hat on the ice or an octopus and disrupt the flow of the
game, what's it matter if the person doing it is a fan of the home or
road team? This is just stupid. Kick him out of his seat and call it a night. Criminal charges are not only excessive but a complete waste of resources. This is one small reason of many why Pittsburgh sucks when it comes to their sports teams.
simple, fan of the home team does it it excites the fans (even if Nashville copying Detroit is lame). fan of a road team does it, it incites the crowd. doing that on road is just asking for someone to start a fight. it's stupid and moronic behavior to do that in another teams arena. when a guest in another's home act accordingly.
I bought my plane ticket to Nashville for Game 3 while they were getting the Western Conference trophy. If anyone has any extra tickets let me know. Can't believe their resell prices are 3x the Pitt prices. $1K just to get in the building.
If you can't get in, get down to the arena early. The party in the plaza across the street(Walk of Fame park) will be wild. There will be beer stands, food trucks and live bands before the game (weather permitting), but it will fill up fast. The fire marshall closed it for people entering almost an hour before the game last night due to it being at full capacity. They will be shutting down several streets and I think they're shutting down Broadway too for watch parties. If you go to the plaza, just stop by WalMart or someplace to buy some cheap camping chairs to sit in. I'll be in there for game 3 luckily and can't wait. I believe Muse is playing at Ascend Amphitheater that night downtown too.
Thanks for the ideas! We plan on getting to Rippys at 11am and getting a table upstairs. Have a great time.

Agreed if you're in someones home, but they're not. It's a public arena, not someone's house.
I say get rid of the off sides challenge, bring in a penalty challenge - look for diving. Don't know how'd you challenge blown missed calls though, like the elbow / interference sid threw last night. Keep the goalie interference challenge that's ok.
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

I tend to think people who don't start fights at sporting events are better than those looking to do so. Also, not a valid reason.
the interference by crosby should have been called that was obvious. the offside was inconclusive in my opinion and should not have been overturned. I also think, PK i believe, throwing his arms up did not help the cause but understand the frustration after the 2 penalties.

agree 100% but that doesn't mean you aren't inciting them. you don't walk into a bar and be an asshole why would you walk into the arena of another team and act like an asshole in front of 20,000 people? it's stupid behavior. and yes i've been in many arenas as an away fan but i make sure i don't do anything to antagonize the home fans. i'm smarter than that even though i probably could use a good ass kicking i ain't inciting one.

Haha, you and me both! But I really don't see how throwing a fish on the ice is inciting violence. And criminal charges are absolutely unnecessary. Kick the guy out, fine. No need to press charges against him. The Pittsburgh PD is obviously making a poster child out of him for no reason other than it's the Stanley Cup Final. He threw a fish onto the ice for christ's sake. Fuck Shittsburgh!

Yeah, they told the guy after he was kicked out that he was going to be cited with disorderly conduct. They asked him if he had plans on coming back to the city and he said no, then yesterday morning he found out about the 2 additional charges. they're just trying to milk more money out of him

he was confronted by fans as he tried to leave the area. i'd call that inciting. and he sounds like a total douche in the story below.
Charges being dropped. Pittsburgh DA must've realized games are being played in both cities. Reading that Yahoo article pjhawks linked, it seems like even Pittsburgh's mayor thought the charges were silly. "If it goes to court, I hope he only does community service. Like cleaning fish at Wholey's."

Well that was disappointing. Jeez Preds, c'mon. They seemed to take a page out of Anaheims playbook tonight and try to play somewhat dirty and took way too many stupid penalties. And Pekka really needs to start playing like he did the 1st 2 rounds or this is going to be over quick.
I hate the Penguins more than anything but 3 goals in a 4 minute span has nothing to do with bad refs.
Come on Preds, get your shit together!! Be the team that beat the shit out of my team in round 1!
Rinne has sucked in the 2 games. some soft goals for sure. Preds win game 3 but I think they are cooked.
Yeah didn't Pittsburgh only have like a dozen shots on goal in Game 1? They went a 37 minute span without a shot on goal in that game. That's damn near 2 whole periods without a snipe... and they still won! UGH!!
I bought my plane ticket to Nashville for Game 3 while they were getting the Western Conference trophy. If anyone has any extra tickets let me know. Can't believe their resell prices are 3x the Pitt prices. $1K just to get in the building.

if you are planning on going to the plaza party or walk of fame park, they are not allowing chairs. it will be standing room only. If you can get a good seat on the roof of Rippy's or right near the bar, you should be golden to be able to see everything

The refs made it known early that they were going to be a part of this SC Final and of course it's gonna benefit Crosby and the Pens.
And yes, the NBC crew needs to go. Between Eddie O and Pierre, you can practically hear them cheer for the Pens on every play.

Also, not a valid reason.
1. Get rid of the off-sides challenge.
2. Get EVERYONE but the goaltender the fuck out of the crease!!! Aka "Fuck you, Brett Hull!"

Was hoping for a good final. Will be sick if this Penguin team wins 2 Cups in a row.

And I'm cheering for the Penguins, but mostly I'm looking for good hockey.
Not sure what the refs did wrong last night. Nashville had a bunch of obvious, stupid penalties.
