Watch the first period of today's game again, Ken, and let me know if you still feel this way.

Rinne nay be the best. I still ain't counting out the Wings, Mike.

Flyers are right there with 'em IMHO, Joel.

Yup, the Pens were by far the Dumber of the 2 teams today though. Totally got trolled and fell into the Flyers plan.

Asham was bad, his high stick was way over the line, but Hartnell whining about hair pulling in the middle of a fight was lame. It was obvious that Adams was grabbing for his collar, not his fault Hartnell is a Caveman.

This series is over, and I hope the Pens from the TOP down learn a lesson here.

I think they need Iginla to put them over the top. We'll give you him for Staal and a second

Seriuosly though, I had the Pens to win the East...don't know what the hell happened.

Every team has a certain amount of cheap and dirty in them...the Flyers this year seem to have been less so than years past. I'm assuming the league's (Shanahan) disciplinary actions should shed light on who went overboard yesterday.

What gets me is the Pens like to portray they aren't that type of team. Tortorella said he thinks they are, Laviolette hinted he thinks they are...and their actions say they are. Lemieux's statement last year makes the contradictions laughable.

And Crosby is a punk!

Interesting article about him here...http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...rodigy-to-punk

Best line, "What would your boss do?"

Don't count on any light being shed from Shanny unless it is the sunlight going in one ear and out the other. His "justice" is a crap shoot. Has been all year. Consistency is not his goal.

Hagelin gets 3 games for the hit on Alfredsson, which I think is a little much but I understand. Yet somehow Carkner gets only 1 for what he did to Boyle? I don't get it.
Consistency is certainly not his goal. But common sense doesn't seem to be either.
It will be interesting to see what comes out of yesterday's game 3 between the Pens and Flyers.

Yup. He has been that way all season long. Class A jackass. Although, if Alfredsson is out the rest of the series, three games may be a fair trade off. Carkner's bs should have been dealt with more severely.
