I don't really need to further explain why that's a bad look.

I think it should've been a 2 minute unsportsmanlike penalty for sure

But to act like it's some sin against hockey and all things good is so crazy

I said "immature"

But sure we can go with sin against hockey and all things good.

Yeah but did you hear about Crosby throwing the water bottle though?

sucks that Maata got a boo boo on his nose, but he should know by now that once you get your stick up high, you're gonna get one back.

Hahaha are people seriously melting about Crosby?

Subban had him in side control a la the UFC and was holding his stick. He should've let go. Crosby shouldn't have been that rough on his head. Ref saw the whole thing. Was called perfectly fair.

Yea, it was Maata's fault

Yeah, it was. He lost his balance and the cross check got him in the face. It wasn't like Sissons Babe Ruth swung at his nose, dude.

Well, in fairness Crosby probably gets an additional two minutes on that one is he wasn't smart enough to put his body between subban's head and the ref. :lol



See attached pic immediately preceding that 'fight' and I cannot fault Crosby too much, I would be pretty pissed too.



He owned nashville last night, physically and skillfully. Guy was on a mission and it was fun to watch. Could care less about the water bottle thing, it probably did slip, he is not that stupid. If they want to give a minor for that than start throwing out bench minors for every damn catfish that lands on the ice.



I think Arvidsson was the only pred to be on the winning side of any fights, the rest of them got pummeled. Nice to see the Pens play with an edge ( and see the Pens big guns have a field day putting picks in net) against a team that has been roughing them up for 4 straight games and put them on notice that the reigning champs aren't taking their shit anymore. If Ryan Ellis is injured (no updates so far) preds are in trouble.



That crosscheck on Maata was about as dirty and dangerous as it gets.



Was also great to see Hainsey get a SCF goal and damn cool to see Guentzel tie the rookie point record for a playoff year, nice job kid.



Helluva exciting game to watch last night. Yeah the fighting was a bit often but that has been buildiing for a few games, I almost expected the Pens to go out with a chip on their shoulder but in terms of on ice play that was the most dominating game (in every sense) that ANY team has played this entire playoffs.

The difference is that Crosby is a player. Catfish guy was not.

My wife just saw Sid on the road. She honked and waved. He smiled and waved back. He did not throw a water bottle at her.

She walked over to that area of the bar and started to talk to them. Apparently Sid started to hit on her a bit (she would have been about 22 at the time). She finally turned to him and said "I know who you are and I know you are not 21 yet :lol"

That must have been funny to be there for.

The lottery ball bounced Pittsburgh's way. The Jackets, Devils, Rangers and Sabres all had three balls. The Caps and Hawks had two. Hell, if he had gone to the Caps or Rags I would probably be joining you with the hate. :lol My overall point is, if you take off the hate goggles for a minute, you'd be witnessing some stellar hockey. Not quite Lemieux level, but close. Between most of last season, the Gary Bettman Olympics and this season, he's been on another plane.
