I hope the next Pens fan that complains about calls (and non-calls) gets run over by the Sharks bus as they leave the stadium tonight. And hopefully Eddie O is walking beside them. What inept officiating.

Polak looked so bad on the Kessel goal. It might be because he is, in fact, bad. I am not sure and will explore further.

Burns is looking pretty bad, making horrible pass after horrible pass.

Pens are playing well, fast, pinning the sharks down, getting away with some clutch and grab, and dictating the pace of the game. Sharks are having a hard time completing passes and getting shots through. That said, it's a 1 goal game. Nobody gives a poop how many shots you take, it's how many beat the goalie. Hertl could have 3 tonight. DeBoer should definitely do something different to spark the team.

refs miss another penalty on the penguins jesus this is blatant

dude that call on cole with couture was a sham and a half. it is what it is, because pavs was then promptly gashed in the mouth haha

theres no way this is going to be a shut out. both teams are playing great. both have a good number of chances. sharks low shot total is deceiving. and really it was just one bad defense hiccup in an awful spot with the pens having numbers or else it would still be 0 0

says the penguin fan that just started watching hockey

Your statement is ridiculous u truly think that the sharks r out playing the pens and the refs r keeping them from winning, u sir r the one that just started walking hockey, clueless one

Good call. Watch how he lands, his upper body is twisting as he hits the ice. Nobody is going to dive like that. At least imo.

Pens are in control right now. And the Sharks D is making a boatload of bad passes, some under pressure, some just head-scratchers. It should be an interesting 3rd. Something's gotta give with the way these teams are playing...an explosion of 2+ goals for either side wouldn't surprise me.

it was less than what pavelski did earlier right in front of the ref when going for the loose puck.

honestly, i really dont have a bad opinion of the reffing so far. its largely been consistent. without really looking at a replay, couture looked like he swung his legs out to sell it. as i've said before, i really dont hold that against the players though. it is what it is.

its just weird. pens letting a lot go both ways really helps the pens in this series. which is usually never the case for them

This is clearly going to be a shutout considering the sharks are just going to hit posts for the rest of the playoffs

Biggest stage of his career and Chokevelski comes up small. Typical.

He's tired from playing meaningful hockey since October.

were the sharks not just chilling out there with 6 men to end the period earlier?

OT, gonna be tense. Didn't they miss 4 minutes in penalties when that stick hit Ward in the face? Didn't look like a follow-through on a shot to me...but I only saw 1 replay.

pavelski got high sticked in the face and there was no call also
