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.

It was a good bounce back game for my boys. I like the way they play team d.
