I think that he is after a little man love from Crosby or Malkin too. :twisted:

Let's hear it about Hossa's "blatant stick-smashing hook." Go watch the replay. Dupuis broke his own stick on the ice.

And by the way- the only way that play directly led to a goal was because Malkin knocked Thomas Holmstrom on top of Fleury, making him even more useless than he was the rest of the game.

You're delusional if you don't think Hossa's hook had anything to do with DuPuis stick ending up in 2 pieces. And the play led directly to a goal because it took him directly out of the play. I think if you spent as much time actually looking at what happens in those replays instead of trying to justify bad non-calls you'd agree that the refs are letting BOTH teams down in this series so far.

Wah wah wah.
If Malkin doesn't play like an idiot and push Holstrom on top of your goalie, Fleury probably makes that save regardless of what happened before. Then again, maybe not. Fleury is becoming the choke artist of the century. Perhaps Pens fans shouldn't worry so much about the officiating and wonder why their goalie is giving up some of the softest goals of the playoffs.
Maybe they should worry about giving up goal to two guys who spent all season in the minors (Jonathan Ericsson and Justin Abdelkader) and a third line center (Val Filppula).
Or take the easy way out and blame it all on the officiating....

It was a penalty but the Pens still got the puck and failed to clear it. That's where it went bad. Also Malkin did not do Flower any favors. Third even without that goal the Pens still only scored once how the hell do they win the game? Should Malkin be suspended a game because that's what the rule states?

He's probably after a little dual action. :?

Nice. But even YOU can't explain away 20+ seconds w/too many men on the ice. Of course, maybe you can. With the Wings PK as horrible as it has been I can see why Detroit fans don't want good officiating.

The PK has been horrible. 65% or so I think I heard. I'm not disagreeing that the officiating has been bad -even a Pittsburgh columnist said this morning that the interference call on Erickson that resulted in the power play that lead to the go-ahead goal was "cheap".
I'm just not going to blame the loss on officiating. Even with bad calls, a good team steps up and does what it has to do.
Detroit played a good game last night, but Pitt played better. For the first time in the series, Fleury made the stops he had to make, and the Pens capitalized on their pp chances and took advantage of some of Detroit's mistakes.
I wasn't expecting a sweep and I'm not the least bit worried. This series doesn't even start until somebody loses at home.

That was a pretty solid effort by both teams (with the exception of the first six minutes of the game when the Redwings were on their heals). I thought the Wings had some good chances in the 2nd period. Both teams had pucks off the post. The Penguins are scary on the power play. As long as the Redwings avoid the penalties they should win.

It's been crazy how often the ice tilts from one side to the other in this series.

I just don't understand how the Erickson call can be called "cheap"... It was textbook interference that has been called for the past 4 years.

I'm not saying that the officiating wasn't horrible, the calls made were the right calls, but the non-calls (again) are what they were terrible at. I'm guessing that boarding and hitting from behind are now legal, because over the last few games I've seen several hits by Pens players that made me hold my breath, waiting for a refs arm to go up.

I said this last night on a hockey board, but it went from no calls, to pulling out the Paul Devorski Random Penalty Generator.

The refs need to get their whistles out of their asses. Zetterberg AGAIN getting away with murder in the crease? And don't even get me started on Marilyn Hossa's blatant stick-smashing hook that lead directly to a goal. Of course, I probably shouldn't complain. The only thing more unbelievable than what isn't being called on the ice is the fact that Malkin is somehow NOT suspended for instigating w/less than 5 mins left...

Would like some cheese with your whine, Sir :twisted:

Hehehe. Ok, so maybe a LETS GO RED WINGS!!! thread isn't the best place to go to get sympathy for questionable reffing...

No Pittsburgh sports fan should EVER be allowed to complain about officiating....EVER...considering all the beyond questionable calls that your NFL team has been graced with over the years. :twisted:

I'm just referencing what Pittsburgh Post Gazette columnist Gene Collier said.
http://www.freep.com/article/20090603/SPORTS05/90602109/?imw=Y

"The Red Wings’ Achilles heel is their penalty killing unit, which was forced onto the ice in the middle of a deadlocked third period due to a cheap interference call against Johan Ericsson against Cooke.

"Staal tipped the puck to me and I have every right to my lane," Cooke protested. "He forced me with his stick into the boards and that’s always called a penalty."

Perhaps, but so much contentiousness was permitted beforehand, including Chris Kunitz’s plainly evident cross check of Franzen earlier in the period."

Best flash game ever.

Great game last night.Refs let the teams play.
I don't mind the non calls as long as it's for both teams.Keep the play moving.
Orpik trip looked like his stick did get caught at the top of Filpulas' shin pad,but i would
not have complained if there was a diving call also.
A couple of uncharacteristic Zetterberg give aways,but when you're tired.....
The longer Datsyuk is out the better for Pittsburgh.( I guess that's a "no shit" statement.)
Songburst, I know you are tuning in to this thread.Even a young lad from Thunder Bay who hates the Wings style had to love this game.
Penguins showed how dangerous and quick they can be.
Should be a great best of 3 for the Holy Grail.

GO WINGS!!

Wasn't been able to watch games 3&4. Heard that the game last night was a dud save for a few minutes in the second period.
Games 1&2 weren't too exciting.
