you know, i realized just now what bothers me so much about the pens broadcasters (other than being loving stupid)... every time something happens, they use penalty names (and then mention that there's nothing called). Instead of "tied up on the boards" it's "and he's held along the boards... no penalty on the play". "Run into each other" -> "is interfered with... no penalty on the play"... "stumbles/steps on his stick" -> "is tripped up... no penalty on the play"

there is no reason this team with this roster should be playing this poorly.

Jeff Rimer uses "tripped up" im a similar fashion, vague on whether it was worthy of a penalty.

I mean tripped up is mostly fine, but the "...and there's no penalty on the play" is ridiculous because all it does is piss off dumb rear end people watching who don't actually know what tripping is.
