What a load of loving poo poo, how the gently caress does someone get a game misconduct for verbal abuse, what a loving baby rear end in a top hat ref

By saying even more after getting the 10 minute misconduct? :v: I think Ribeiro has gotten two of those this year. Letang knew what he was doing.

I don't believe in conspiracy theory reffing at all so I'm not blaming the Red Wings over this poo poo show.

This is just the refs being a bunch of cry baby cunts who can't handle a little deserved whining about calls

i mean obviously the pens are not being smart or disciplined but this is some of the worst reffing i've ever seen, starting with that bullshit misconduct + 2 on kunitz passing the puck to the ref at the end of the 1st period. that set the tone for sure

I don't pay any attention to who the officials are but I probably should. Does this particular crew have a history with the Penguins?

Then maybe the ref should have skin thicker than tissue paper, it's really easy to ignore someone calling you an dickface or whatever

Yeah, by no means am I saying that the Pens are playing well or would win with decent officiating, but I can 100% understand the "gently caress it" attitude when the refs are so goddamn awful. Like why bother to play hockey when you can get pushed into the goalie and held down by two guys and end up with an interference call for it.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the Penguins kinda need Michel Therrien back.

Well not HIM actually because gently caress The System™ and Therrien is the kind of coach that's good for a young team whereas the Penguins are one of the oldest teams in the league, but they need a coach that can actually convince them to suck it up and stop throwing temper tantrums and focus on playing sharp hockey.

I think they should have had a dynasty of Cups and beat the Flyers by 20-1 every game, but much like my chances of getting into grad school and avoiding becoming an insulator like my father and his father the chances of that are very low at best.

There's no way the Pens will be disciplined enough to focus on scoring goals instead of taking runs and ripping the refs after every whistle

That's not how the rule works though. Is this really that uncommon for Pens players? Maybe I'm just used to having idiots on the team I like. You could see Letang getting warned and then not shutting up, then he kept going even more after the misconduct. It looked pretty obvious to me.

This may be true but it's like the refs spent the whole game baiting him for that moment

I've seen 10 minute misconducts given out for ref bitching but literally throwing out a star player? nah, that poo poo just doesn't happen. not with over half the game left

In between the periods I think they should all sit down and talk game plan and part of that game plan should be (said with a firm but understanding voice) "Fellas, these referees don't care too much for us so we should not give them reasons to penalize us, ready, break".

Clearly the best example of how this poo poo can happen to anyone. For as long as I can remember, Detroit has always mobbed the refs in groups of 2 or 3 players after any whistle to basically no detriment.

It's nice to have Ehrhoff back but I wish they'd scratched Scuderi to make room for him rather than sending Pouliot down. I think at this point Pouliot would benefit more from NHL experience and Scuderi is too slow to do anything anymore. They can say "we want to have Scuds fresh for the playoffs" or whatever.

But eh, it's not like 6 defensemen will all stay healthy for more than a week, it'll sort itself out.

One of the most entertaining games I've ever been to. Saying a bunch of dumb poo poo to the ref is going to consistently get you kicked out. Letang wasn't saying "COME ON, BUDDY."
