Penguins' Sidney Crosby after 4-3 OT win over Habs

[killerklownn]

Is the NHL going to hand the cup to the Pittsburgh Penguins because Sid the sniffling kid is back now that would be bad for hockey !!!

[killerklownn]

So is the NHL just going to hand Pittsburgh the Puck because Sid the Sniffling Kid is Back now that's bad for Hockey !!!

[WOWZZZZZZZZAS]

Finally! Crosby addresses a problem that is blown out of proportion & actually makes some good points

[innismor11]

3:15 Sometime Crosby talks out both sides of his mouth at teh same time. "Everyone knows you can't touch the goalie". Minutes earlier in the game just ended teammates of his interfered with Montreal goalie Price to score twice. One was waived off; both should have been. Ref gives them teh winning goal in OT, rewarding the Pens for a game of running the Montreal goalie. "Everyone," apparently "knows shit".

[doe791]

Paccioretty's hit was fine. Head wasn't the primary point of contact. No malicious intent. He showed some amount of restraint by not hammering him any harder although he could have.

If you rule this an illegal hit then might as well bar contact in hockey.

Good for Sid. Showing a bit of fire!

[truebilliejoan]

For me it is important that Letang could continue in the game ... he could and was perfect :) like Crosby, Kunitz, Staal, Dupuis and essentialy the all team... I support them!!!!

[drmoxx]

[Crosbyisapimp]

Okay folks, y'all need to calm down, its a freaking hockey game. whats done is done and WE WON AND YOU DIDNT! better luck next time

[laurenscott87]

I liked this video he was so feisty and said it straight! Great game PENS!

[oleHABSole]

@laurenscott87 yes win by cheating in o.t is ''great game'' lol wow you're pathetic.

[domaug]

@oleHABSole who cheated exactly? the Pens or the refs? you're a huge baby. get a life.

[dcoulter45]

So great to see Sid respond to foligno's comments and put him in his place. I was watching that game and said to myself 3 or 4 times that someone needs to put foligno on his ass. How many times can a guy 'accidentally' fall on a goaltender.

[oleHABSole]

''battle back'' and win by cheating.

[dcoulter45]

@oleHABSole more like "battle back and win by getting the chance they should've had when the refs were afraid habs fans would riot if they called a penalty on the paccioretty hit"

[oleHABSole]

@dcoulter45 clean hit, it's not Patch's fault he is taller and the cunt decided to shoot the puck when he seen Patch coming.

[dcoulter45]

@oleHABSole clean hit....... like 5 years ago. If Shanahan follows the examples he's been setting I would expect at least a fine, and a suspension if he has a history (I'm not bothering to look it up).

[innismor11]

@dcoulter45 Hit would have been body to body except that Letang put his head into it. Ref's said it was clean. Shanahan will say the same tomorrow. You don't appear to know much about these things. There is no "fine" for this sort of situation. There's only suspension with commensurate loss of salary. As for Pacioretty and any "history", you don't know him clearly. That's about the first hit he's put on in his two-yeer hockey career. He's a pretty big guy that does not hit. He finally tried one.

[domaug]

@oleHABSole i don't care if it were Chara doing the hit. i wouldn't care if it was Chara hitting Verne Troyer in the head. it's still an illegal hit, whether you think it's clean or not. i will say this though, if it weren't illegal, i'd have no problem with it other than it took Letang out of the rest of the period.

[innismor11]

@domaug Ref (4 of them) all said it was a clean hit. Shanahan will confirm the same on Monday.

[domaug]

@innismor11 that was during the game, which is actually a missed call on their part. like i've said in other comments, if it were legal by the rules (not just by instance, but by the actual rules), i wouldn't be bothered other than that Letang was knocked out of the play. but he still hit his head with his shoulder. intent doesn't matter. they're trying to remove that stuff from the game, so Pacioretty should at least receive a fine.

[innismor11]

@domaug By "should" are you speaking in terms of how you would like it to be, or in terms of the Official NHL rules? Because there is no "fine" available to the League in this instance. There is only suspension as supplementary discipline for an illegal hit to the head. Monday Shanahan will rule that this hit did not involve illegal contact with the head, and he'll post up a video at NHL.com to show you why. Neither you nor I have to like it (I didn't like the 'no suspension' for Malone-Campoli)

[domaug]

@innismor11 well i'm not sure why it wouldn't be ruled as illegal contact to the head. i think Shanahan could go as far as a one-game suspension at the most, if he wanted to send more of a message. however, i wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if he just gets a small fine.

[dcoulter45]

@oleHABSole sorry, please change "riot" to "demand a criminal investigation" 

[oleHABSole]

@dcoulter45 noob it was the media not the fans or people of Montreal, you know what media is and what they do to make money? idiot.

[dcoulter45]

@oleHABSole do people really still say 'noob' ? Grow up.
