So the refs already handed this win to the Flyers? We're already there?

You know, at the risk of going into "troll" territory, do you think it's strange that the refs apparently call everything against the Pens and nothing against the opposition when every other fan base complains of the same thing with their team?

I'm not a moron homer. I never said the refs were against the Pens. There aren't calling anything on either team so far.

Ok, what channel(s) on Comcast is this on? I'm on 192, and the view is messed up, its like a few inches tv wise are off the screen.

On here. I've yet to go door-to-door throughout Pittsburgh to ask for a formal statement from every Penguins fan.

Pretty obvious the cooke hit was a bad play. People come in here and act like no Pens player ever gets a dirty hit on them...they must only give them.

Not you in general, but there's been a lot of "they call everything against us and nothing against the other team," in recent weeks.

Pfft, come on, we are the Penguins. If God had another son, and that son had a hockey team, it would obviously be us and everyone is against us.

Those are the moron homers. Refs haven't been calling anything for anyone.

And I have seen alot of that talk on the Flyers boards throughout the season. Every team has a percenage of folks that will blame officiating for their teams woes. It is not exclusive to Pittsburgh.

Well to be fair, the local media has been harping on this a lot lately. I guess McCauley wouldn't even talk to any of the players on Tuesday I believe it was. He also issued 6 penalties against the Pens, that was his first game since the Detroit debacle. If you believe he doesn't have a grudge then, I don't know what to tell you.

I bet you can't see it from the Flyers board if it bothers you so bad.

That play looked exactly like Bylsma's stretch passing.

Is Dvorski retiring due to vision? 3rd loose puck blown dead!!! THis game is going to get ugly. Can feel it!!!

Call anything yet?

Mason made himself real small there. Keep bumping him.

Never said it was just them. In fact, I said exactly what you said.

That was a soft call

Agreed. Refs have been wildly inconsistent for the whole league the last month. Tons of crap let go.

I thought that was a really weak goal by Mason as well.

Yeah not just the Penguins. League wide issue. Every team has those fans that believe every single thing against them is a penalty, and that their team are angels.

Can everyone work as hard as Hornqvist? That guy is a machine

Made up for it with that pad save.

Aaaaand the Pens are rattled. That didn't take long.

Interference is no longer a penalty and agreed it's league wide. It's also ruining hockey.

Right on cue

At least it's the end of the period so hopefully they'll settle down and focus on hockey.

Way to go Winnik
