Penguins have 4 penalties in the first period. The refs aren't letting the bull shit go.
 
LOL
 
There was one of those calls that was a penalty - the slash.  The rest were comical homer officiating that looked like something the Canadiens would get.

The only one ticky tack was the interference.

The rough that led to the goal wasn't a penalty in the first period of a November game let alone a playoff game. I didn't see the 4th

Weak weak weak Goalie Interference call in Tampa. That's just brutal.

Given the circumstances (including a ref literally standing over the play), that's a solid nominee for the dumb penalty HOF.
 
Yes, scraping Zucc's back with the stick while Zucc's on the ice to the point it rips his helmet off. Stupid.

To be fair to Downie (I have no reason to be charitable to such a POS) that was a linesman, but point taken - I like a little more leeway in the playoffs but regardless, Downie is a moron

Minor rule change I'd like to see...if you ice the puck with your goalie pulled, like the Penguins just did, you aren't allowed to put the goalie back in.

Fleury gave them a chance after that early snafu; they just can't score and couldn't buy a call.

That turned into a good game. Pitt showed more fight than I thought they would.

Minor rule change I'd like to see: if a team who's leading takes a minor penalty in the last 2 minutes, or a major in the last 5, the clock is reset to 2 (or 5) minutes even.  Make them serve out the whole penalty, no being saved by the bell.
 
Impetus: Detroit's pretty dirty penalty on TB with 12.3 seconds remaining.

Brickley is the color guy for DET/TB
I'm pretty the DET guy is my dad.  It's scary.  Great duster.  On the DET broadcast with Mickey Redmond.  People who know a semblance about me from SoSH can Google and confirm.  But it's scary.

Assuming that was the call from the sick play where the Lightning player pulled up and gave some backhand sauce to the d-man who made Mrazek "fall over" in an Austin Powers-esque turbulence.  Can't figure out who I'm really cheering for because I can't be anti-Datsyuk but, damn, that's a fun Lightning team.  Regardless, go Stevie Y.

Eh, given that Hammond appears to be reverting back to career Hammond and Stone is likely to miss at least a few more games, I'm all for any scenario that ends with Subban out for an extended period of time.  About time he pays his dues.  It is also going to be comical to see how much he ups his diving game now that he knows OTT is out to get him.  There should be GIFS galore of him flopping like a fish.

I'm pretty pumped for this game, actually. I hope Subban gets savagely beaten. Maybe he can do his Jesus pose as it's happening.

LOL who was that who just completely stopped playing, stared at the ref, and held his hands in the air?

Isles up 2 against the backup goalie and can't close it out so instead of a commanding 2-0 lead coming home it's 1-1 and the caps have the mo.

That penalty call on Hagelin right there might be the worst call I've ever seen.
