The Pens did that to themselves.

Are the refs not supposed to make calls on the teams you want to lose?

They called interference on the Pens to set it up after ignoring 2 or 3 blatant penalties by the Caps.

Re: Nhl playoffs thread.

The interference was blatant as hell and they also missed a Penguin tackle a Capitals player.

Whining about refs is a major pet peeve.

But sure - they want to screw Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh.

They were trying as hard as they could to set up that game 7. Caps "fans" are way more fickle than Pens fans and people in the DC area have a ton of discretionary income that only goes to the Caps when they are winning.

Re: Nhl playoffs thread.

Then why not call the tackle by the Pens D-man when the Caps were breaking out of the defensive zone?

And the Pens had 2 PP goals too. Sorry, but your conspiracy theory doesn't work.

The Caps player hit the Pens player in the face with a high stick and the dude was bleeding. That one was too blatant to let go. As far as the tackle, I don't recall the play so I can't really comment. Maybe they just missed it.

They missed it, it happens and diving has become a new part of the sport in the NHL.

I am smelling a cup in our future..

And I LOVE my new BISH PLEASE shirt!!!

As I'm sure you know, the playoffs are such a different animals. It's not common got a team to have multiple deep runs in a row. We've seen teams make the conference finals or deeper one year, only to "choke" the next year in the first or sometimes second round. Expectations for a deeper run may leave the caps conference semi final appearance disappointing, but at that point, it's really more of a toss up.

Plus the pens are such a good team.

The coaches challenge is ruining this game.

St Louis to the conference finals. No matter what happens, a team with no cups will represent the west.

Good effort, Lindy. Lehtonen stunk up the joint.

Re: Nhl playoffs thread.

same old Lindy...playing his favorite players over other players on the team (just like he did when he was coach here with Sabres and which he did with Vanek and Pominville they were his two favorites players on this team he would always put them out on the ice if a goal was needed to tie up the game or win it on the PP or PK,) his defence first philosophy being stubborn while the other teams changed their systems Lindy kept his old defence first mentality coaching system, couldn't decide which goalie to play on which nights like he did here in Buffalo with Miller and burned him out.
