Embarrassing

What a great time to play our worst performance since the Valentine's Day Massacre. You remember, the night we got crushed (again) by the almighty Maple Leaf. The better team won the game. We sucked. Fleury was terrible. Detroit is awesome. Complete embarrassment by the Pens. No excuses.

But what's also embarrassing is the flop fest observed by NHL fans Saturday night. And, sorry, I'm not getting on the "Pens lost their cool" bandwagon just because a bitter Edzo Olsuck says so. What was called a slash in Game 5, was not called a slash in Game 4. After it went 2-Nil, the refs finally had the ambition to call everything in sight. And if you have a problem with "Crosby diving," such as the shout was after Game 4 when Maltby hacked him, then you better be the same person yelling at Zetterberg and Datsyuk for similar dives in Game 5. The only difference was that the refs somehow turned a blind eye in Game 4. But every time a red jersey flopped in Game 5, it was called. The Talbot slash was old school hockey. You slash our star, and the refs don't want to do anything about it, then expect the same treatment for your stars. That's how it works when you have to take matters into your own hands. The hits by Malkin and Dupuis weren't called penalties in Games 1-4. They're definitely not called on Kronwall when he leaves his feet every time he tries to check someone.

I respect Zetterberg and Datsyuk as players. But one guy I'll never respect is this fucking assbag...



I know, there's people who don't like Roberts. Fine. But the delay between when Franzen gets "punched" and the "I just got shot" reaction is embarrassing. This clown does the same thing every time he gets touched, and he's been doing it all series. The only time he actually wants a piece of someone is when their back is to him, when he can raise his stick to defend himself, or when one of the linesmen is in the way. FIND A BLOUSE, JOHAN.

Also embarrassing, the fact that Hossa hasn't done a thing all series. Then he runs Garon into the boards, before skating away like the coward he is.

Rant over.

LET'S GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
