Unless this replay shows something drastic that's a terrible penalty call on Murray. Totally clean hit right as the puck got there.

edit: Aaaaand no replay.


edit 2: Aaaaand there's your make up penalty call.


edit 3: And again a bench guy pokes a Pens player with his stick, Pens player gets a penalty.

Malkin is too easy to provoke sometimes. Strange game, Vokoun has been solid as fuck. Isles really were dominate for a good 20-25 min from part of the way through 1st into the 2nd, then the Pens started scoring and it evened up a whole lot more. Frustration set in, plus a pretty weak 2nd goal on Nabby. I wonder if the Isles can even win Game 6 at home after tonight.

I hope the Caps take control back at home in our Game 5 like this.

Habs are done. Ottawa could be dangerous going forward as long as Anderson continues to forget his age and be on acid.

Most of the time. He takes a lot of dumb penalties. Though when a guy on the bench is poking you it's hard to ignore I guess. Even if the best outcome is offsetting penalties which takes you, a WAY more valuable player, out for 2 minutes. But it's hockey, you let that shit go and you look like a pussy.

Refs being consistant(ly bad).
They were pretty good until the shitty call against Murray which naturally led to the shitty call in favor of the Pens to make up for it.

All the dirty things I want to do with Elisha Cuthbert. Too many to name.

I'd just turn around and laugh at him. Yeah obviously it's a dick move though, just pointing out that sometimes you can get under Malkin's skin and encourage him to take retaliation penalties.

And I agreed=P

And since he's intentionally drawn in to them it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. It's extra frustrating when one of the best guys in the world is doing it, probably similar to when Ovie takes one for a dirty hit. "YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT SHIT!" Guh....fucking Russians...

Ovie hasn't had a real "dirty" hit in a long time. Much like Geno, neither is a guy out looking to hurt people, they just play the game hard. Ovechkin gets a little too reckless at times, and Geno can let his frustration get the best of him at times.
