Just a few comments from last nights game

Well so we lost, The Flyers battled hard and played gritty. It looked like we were off our game and just came out very flat, so congrats to the Flyers. So I could be like every other idiot out there and say we gave it to them and all that % but they earned this one a wins a win and thats all that matters. But what I will say is that there were some very very sketchy calls last night. If you are going to call goalie interference in the other game the night before when it was clearly not that then you need to call it for the other games. Briere clearly ran into Fluery and the goal was allowed. that was a call that just stood out to me, and they were all over Fluery all night and nothing was called. I thought it was a poor poor officiated game and most of the games this season were just that, terribly officiated. These guys get paid to call a fair game and they suck at it. Also I'm not a big fan of the other team as soon as the whistle is blown to stop play that we get punched in the face. The thing that blows my mind is the fans that know nothing about hockey. I hate Philly with a passion and I want nothing more than to destroy this team because they are nothing but % talkers. But learn the game before you run your mouth, but I want to win it fairly and within the rules and it seems like the refs are taking the game out of the players hands and its a said thing because every player not just on the Pens prepares and works hard and its sad to see the game decided by a bunch of zebras. Oh and Philly good luck you have to come back to the burgh and we do out match you we just need to play our game the way we do.

officiating
I’m as bad as the rest when it comes to poor officiating. I complain when my team loses and say “that’s the way it goes” when it benefits my team. I think the goalie interference has been the worst thing about the playoffs. I’ve seem the goalie bumped so many times in the crease on goals and just scoring chances and not called. In fact, I think it was a problem in the regular season too. The real issue this game (the same as game 4 vs. the Rangers) is that the Penguins didn’t play their game. They were off and the other team’s desperation and determination was enough to win. I really thought the Pens were going to tie it late, but they needed a goal in the second or first. I think it’s over on Sunday. GO PENS!
