somebody call the wahhhhhmbulance! calls get missed all the time and that extracurricular stuff is going to happen. toughen up, this isn't golf.

im not gonna sit here & **** about calls, but the ref was right in front of Malkin when he did this ...

UtleyMVP08 | 05/13/08, 08:32 AM

But lets be serious, if 1 of our players hit Malkin or Crosby w/ an elbow, we'd get a major or sum b/s.

UtleyMVP08 | 05/13/08, 08:34 AM

It was a total cheapshot and the ref was standing right there. Its just an example of how the Pens can do whatever they want.

Memo to NHL Officials: The face of the NHL is the tandem of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. No matter what they do, elbow, third man in, slew foot, dive, whine, punch....etc....It must be let go....We must have their faces on the ice as much as possible.

I haven't had a problem with the officiating in the playoffs, except for a few missed calls....but to be fair....call it both ways because both teams are guilty of that stuff....

Geez,

I guess the same rules that used to apply for Bobby Clarke and CO., intimidate the heck out of opposing players by any means possible no longer applies in Philly, mainly because other than Mike Richards, their top offensive players are scared of their own shadow. Toughen up Philly, this ain't cricket.

As the Flyers continue to say "it is what it is". They know its going to happen, They just have to fight through it and hopefully get the wins they need. They've handled the officiating no calls like true professionals. So hats off to the Flyers on that.

Phillydave | 05/13/08, 08:40 AM

Toughen up about what?
All were saying is that it completely cheap & the ref obviously ignored it...

UtleyMVP08 | 05/13/08, 08:40 AM

The pens can do whatever they want....like score a goal that is not a goal. Face the music, the Pens are a much better team than the Cryers! Carey Price was a sieve in the net for les Habs and now you've got a real goaltender to face. Quit you're cryin and play some hockey...hell, you've got at least 2 more games before we eliminate you.

LetsGoPens | 05/13/08, 08:42 AM

You Pens fans are retarded .. No1's crying, were just showing the obvious .. Malkin's cheap shot was as obvious as Crosby's goal

UtleyMVP08 | 05/13/08, 08:46 AM

And im pretty sure Hatcher & Upshall have been throwing their weight around

UtleyMVP08 | 05/13/08, 08:59 AM

This one heads back to Pittsburgh all knotted up. DESPITE our team being slayed by injuries and referees.

Weapon X | 05/13/08, 09:02 AM

Malkin sure is dirty. Y didn't Philly send out a goon?

OtherOne81 | 05/13/08, 09:23 AM

Listen to this guy, he says Philadelphia is going to tie it up and bring it back to Pittsburgh. You???re killing me this morning.

Toddmm5 | 05/13/08, 09:23 AM

I may be a Pens fan, but if it happened, call it. If they're the best team they'll find a way to kill off the penalty and win .. and nobody wants to win the series and have question marks afterweards.

CanadaFootball | 05/13/08, 09:23 AM

If you truly believe the series will be tied, I've got a great piece of real estate in Florida to sell you at a bargain price..barely any swamp land around. Upshall may be throwing his weight around, but Kennedy kicked his a##...and he's our smallest player! Hatcher is a no talent goon, all the hockey skills went to his brother. Kap may bounce off checks but I thought the idea of a skilled winger was to score goals, how many does he have? Umberger? Hartnell? Lupul? Upshall? Shall I go on?

LetsGoPens | 05/13/08, 09:24 AM

At least we support our team when they are down, where were all these Pittsburgh fans when they could even sell a ticket and almost had to move the team. You guys are a bunch of bandwagoneers, flyers would be this good too if they tanked every season too.

phlfan | 05/13/08, 09:28 AM

I think Kennedy threw Upshall's weight around better then Upshall did himself.

I seem to remember when The Ranger fans were saying a lot of this same stuff, we were called whiners and complainers...hmmm
