Always wondered why "hooking" is taken so loosely by refs, even in the playoffs. Where all you have to do is get your stick in the wrong place, you don't have to actually hook a player to the point of affecting their play. Sometimes its just a touch with stick waist high. Yet all kinds of roughing, crosschecking, interference is allowed even more.

Make no mistake if a Pen had hooked a senator like that, no call. The referees are told to let Pittsburgh win.

 

Ottawa has already had 2 penalties called against them. Then Cullen high sticks Ryan and no call. The refs can't let Ottawa get a power play in a 0-0 game. That might let them score the first goal and hurt the pens chances of winning.

Time for F7eury to come out and play

Sens have to stay out of the box. Playing with fire to give the Pens so much pp time.

Btw I was shopping today and they were out of tinfoil. I wonder why

I like how Boucher scrambles his lines when he doesn't like what he's seen from any line and mixes it up a little

LOL Sens staring to get under the pens skin. Less go!

Lol Craig "if he would have done this he would have gotten away with it."

 

No.  No he wouldn't.

Sens have a realistic chance to win the series.  As long Anderson stays consistent, Karlsson is the stud d man that nux never had. 

pageau, what can u say? One of the best offensive checkers

So stupid. They gave Ottawa a penalty on a FOLLOW THROUGH. The frigign rule book STATES that you can't penalize someone for high sticking on a follow through. Otherwise that would allow penalty killers to skate directly face first into point men and draw high sticking penalties.

 

Meanwhile Pittsburgh gets away with all kinds of interference, Crosby vicious slash on Phaneuf, and a clear high stick to Bobby Ryan. No calls on any of them. 

 

This reffing is a joke. I honestly hope the NHL goes bankrupt and closes up shop. Hockey is a joke.

That wasn't a follow-through...

[Twilight Sparkle]

Whoa a non call xD

[PistolPete13]

Don Cherry actually made sense when he was critical about Ovie's lack of ice time.

Guy Boucher is not making that mistake with EK.

The guy is a beauty
