That power play put the game into overtime, where the Flyers still had a chance to win. They made two big mistakes and lost the game. Blaming the loss on that call is making excuses. You might have a good point, but its still an excuse. Winners don't make excuses, they find a way to win.
Carter was given a hooking penalty. Staal came off with nothing. Pens score on the Power play sending the game to Overtime in which the Flyers took two dumb penalties and the Pens won it on the 5-on-3 power play.
Carter should have let go of his stick once Staal began grabbing it and pulling it up towards his chest, cause then Staal might have been called for holding the stick, as he should have been. Carter and other Flyers need to react better to these kind of situations, cause the Penguins will definitely to try to do that again, if they're in need of game-tying or game-leading goal.
The problem with with this isn't so much the fact that Staal grabbed Carter's sick, cause it's obvious that he did...the problem is that Jordan Staal is a really big man (6'4) and he uses his size well to his advantage so it's hard for other players to defend him. Now if it was Braydon Coburn or Kimmo Timonen on Staal, they would be able to just put him in places he didn't want to be, but Carter vs. Staal isn't the matchup the Flyers wanted here...that's why the Flyers need JayBo or Hedman.
amount flyer fans complain about everything except their play > amount of complaining crosby does. Seriously do you fans ever not cry about something when you lose, the reason you don't win is simply you aren't a legitimate cup contending team. Get over the refs or anything else you wanna cry about. There is a reason people call your team the cryers.
if the flyers arent cup contenders, the pens certainly arent. newsflash: the flyers have out played the pens in 4/5 games in the series. your coach even admitted it. if it werent for Fleurys play in a couple games, the flyers woulda this series already. you guys may very well win but i'd be worried if were a pens fan, especially going into next round.
Weren't the pens dead in the water this season too before a coaching change and a few players? it's not what they were, it's what they are, which is why a big motto for the pens is "experience the evolution", they are playing well and not that the flyers aren't, but all the "best" fans do there is whine about how crosby whines or sucks, which is ironic for the fact that he is in the top 3 (when healthy) every year.
you are retarded if you believe that flyers fans actually think he sucks. they just like giving him a hard time because they dont like the way he carries himself on the ice most of the time. he acts like a pissed off preteen girl.
I think it is funny how lame Flyer fans are and how much they make fun of Crosby for whining when that is all they do. "The refs suck..." i'm such a baby. Get a life. The Pens are better and it is obvious. Must suck for you and your pride.
Obviously you're too stupid to get my point about Pens fans calling Flyers the "cryers"...But since you're a pens fan, that's typical. Probably the dumbest fans in hockey. Have you guys figured out what "icing" is yet? I
Smart enough to know the Cryers BLEW IT today. GO PENS. Enjoy watching Pittsburgh in the next round. AND, before you start making fun of "stupid people" why don't you graduate high school.
Obviously you do or else you wouldn't have replied three times to my messages, douche...
And yes, I will graduate highschool one day. One day for sure. And when that day comes, I will still be smarter than you and you will still be an idiot. So you point being???
philly is garbage and so are the majority of their fans. They talk about crosby crying to the refs, yet, they are the ones that are crying about the refs everytime they lose.
I'm pretty sure the entire NHL and it's fanbase is in agreement that Crosby is the biggest comlplainer in the NHL. Look it up. The poll has been published.
But hey, you've only been a Pens fan since 2005, so I can understand you not knowing that...
Perhaps Jeff Carter should not have had his stick up in Staal's midsection? Perhaps Staal was just trying to get Carter's stick out of the way so he could make a play?
Perhaps Carter should have buried that open net earlier to make that penalty moot?
Carter's stick was on the ice until Staal scooped it up. Regardless none of your arguments doesn't change a thing about the fact that the call was BS and Staal should have been sent to the box instead for holding the stick.
Yea, he should have. That's the point. No one is disageeing with the Hartnell stick no call. The refs should be calling the penalties correctly, not when the Pens need a goal to get back in a game they were outplayed in.. I know this concept is difficult for Pens fans to understand.
What? Is this how Pens fans view the world? Carter's stick was on the ground until Staal grabbed it and brought it up. Is defending a penalty now? Also, "trying to get Cater's stick out of the way so he could make a play" is called holding the stick. I know you guys just started to pay attention 4 years ago but I would think you'd know what penalties are by now. You can accuse Flyers fans of whining all you want but if that was handled correctly, the Flyers would've won.
Red Wings get fucked like this all them time because the penguins are fucking cheaters who are protected by the refs
