I wouldn't go that far but certainly she sat on the Pens bench for awhile

The 6 man on the ice for 21 seconds was inexcusable by the refs..... what if Pitt had scored on that play? damn straight they would have counted that goal....
too many non-calls in this series... lots of stuff not getting called, like the Pitt D man whacking Holmstrom in the face.
The problem with the non calls, is that when they do finally call something...it is a very dramatic event... turns a normal power play in to 'the game decider' because there are not enough calls being made. These refs suck.

I agree somewhat concerning the posts. But it sure makes for drama. The one the beat Fluery really gave a nice loud clang!!
The 6 man deal, yeah I have no idea how not only the officials missed it but also the Wings bench, (if indeed they did).
I whole hardily agree with the lack of calls, for both teams. Specifically the TV annoucers have mentioned the Wings subtle interference calls numerous times. These aren't being called. Reminds me of the NJ Devils back in their day, (horrible hockey).
But before we get all over the officials how do we know they haven't been 'coached' on how to call the game by NHL brass?
