phantom interference calls: you must have watched a different game than me. I challenge you to show me video of a phantom call. I saw a lot of blocking (and yes I saw one the B's got away with also).
On the other hand, I have to admit, I don't know what impressed me more:
a) how overwhelmingly the Pens dominated the B's or,
b) what a clean player the "new and improved" Cooke was. He looks like the same old dirty player he's always been.
Marchand's hit was not totally square in the back like Cooke and his hit didn't look premeditated like Cooke's was. |
Sure there is a size difference between Malkin & Bergeron but Malkin is a pussy and your man Bergeron couldn't turtle fast enough, like your other fave Lemieux. IMO the ref's were too fast in breaking the fight up, who said dropping to the ice is the end of the fight, its when the ref's break it up that it's over. If you call this a low class move then I guess you'd have to admit that Bobby Orr was low class also, it was his MO to throw you to the ice, get on top and keep punching. Sure the league was different then but there were no players that turtled, you played dirty, chippy hockey then, when the time came you answered the bell, you didn't drop to the ice and cover up as fast as you could. Bobby Orr, low class - never, Malkin, low class, not IMO, players who run and hide and turtle, they are low class IMO.
The Pens got beat, out played by a team that wanted it more.
