Pens accuse Osgood of diving
After being shut out for a second straight game by Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood, the Penguins unleashed a barrage of verbal shots. Penguins forwards Ryan Malone and Petr Sykora both got called for interference on Osgood, prompting an outburst from Pittsburgh coach Michel Therrien. "We took two penalties tonight on the goalie," Therrien said. "We never take penalty to the goalie in the playoff. I'll tell you something, I reviewed those plays. He's a good actor. He goes to players, and he's diving. ...I know our players are frustrated right now. It's tough to play the game. But Osgood did the same thing against Dallas under (Mike) Ribeiro. Osgood was nonchalant about Therrien's accusation. "I've been called worse," Osgood said. "I'm not really concerned about it right now. The minute the buzzer goes, it's out of my head."

Fair enough, we will trade the two goals taken away from Holmstrom in exchange for those two penalties. At least making excuses doesn't play into the idea that the Pens might be desperate and confused...

I guess they have to complain about something. The sykora one was suspect but the Malone one was for real. If you want a complaint how about the pen's head hunting Franzen. Not only are they trying to Knock him back out of the series,they are trying to knock him out of his career. CHEAP. Crosby crying to the ref's constantly grows old. Shut up and play the game. Now you Pen's know what real hockey is about. Next on your list of complaints will be Kronwall Knocking the skates off your players. This is not a sport for your ladies.

joefordnproud,
I agree. Most of the calls and hits in the game are part of the game. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. But, what they did to Franzen was cold, and I hope the league is reviewing that..

Yeah, the Pens are taking cheap shots and getting even more frustrated when the Wings don't retaliate. They get back at them with clean checks and putting the puck in the net. A really good season by the Pens could be ruined with dirty play and whining in the finals.

biminator, I agree, and it didnt just happen once. Roberts is a punk, how in the world the ref didnt see that one I will never know....I dont think ozzie dove as bad as he did against dallas, and clearly Sykora threw his shoulder into him. I saw the post game interview, I heard his comments, called us the best obstructioners hes ever seen, which is odd to me, were playing clean and when it gets tough for pittsburg, they play dirty. I dont get how he can say they dont go after people, he wasnt watching the game that was being played I guess, how can you call sucker punches not going after people............???

Ha so funny to hear Therrian say someone is diving when his team has been the laughing stock of the league for that. How about this Michelle...actually score a goal on Osgood and then maybe, just maybe something you say will get under his skin.

Therrien is a bum
Easy to review those two plays though.
Its the only time the Pens got close to Ozzy all night.
Whats his excuses for THAT!
Malkin- No shots-Malone no shots.
I swear that Datsyuk kid thinks he's 6'4". I love this guy!
Rumour has it Bettman will game 3 will feature a new Bettman rule.
Two pucks on the Ice. Yes, its true Fannation...Bettman feels its time the Pens got to touch one in this series.
The crap the Pens are trying to pull on Franzen will not work!
Sad that it is Max & Gary.
Love this Kronwall kid!
That GOAL by Filppula...What a Beauty ala Bobby Orr!
Lidstrom is simply amazing. I don't even thing that...Bourque could carry this guys skates anymore!
Zetterberg for MVP!

Baun, do you think maybe ozzie gets the nod as mvp, or do you think they will over look him, with our defense so smothering...I say again, sometimes its harder to get into your game, with a lower number of shots....and 2nd, do you think Fluery made yet another mistake, by forgetting to take his helmet off, until after Karen started singing??? oh oh oh, so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess when a goalie shuts you out of back to back games you start wanting to take that goalie out. Since the Pens couldn't even accomplish that making accusations are the next best thing. 6 straight periods without a single goal... PATHETIC!
