This game was simply "how to shoot yourself in the foot everytime you had a chance" 101.
- Get lead, allow shorthanded goal :golfclap:
- start to take stupid penalties, get behind by 2 goals.
- Letang gets kicked out, no reason for him to be doing this shit, that is what 4th line is for.
- Neal with sick goal to give momentum back to pens, cut lead to one...Kunitz with stupid penalty, PP goal puts Flyers back up by 2.
- Neal with another goal to bring it to one again, another PP goal
- Staal scores cuts the lead again, Kunitz with another penalty. I believe Simmonds scored on this one.
I said last game I'll be the first to admit Pittsburgh is playing shit. You can't keep taking stupid calls beyond the first period bullshit and expect to win. Had three chances down by a goal and each time they fucked it up with something stupid.
Fluery is not the problem. Did he let in that soft goal, yeah, but so did fearbear on the other side. Not much he can do when the team in front of him a) doesn't want to play defence and b) keeps putting him on the PK.
And the crosby glove slap thing was great. Only reason he is getting the "pussy" shit is because it is him. If it was Hartnell doing it, everyone would be on here laughing it up. Fact is, Crosby was right in the middle of the scrums, even getting into it with Giroux which any pure hockey guy has to respect when the two best players on the teams are going at it. He has been out for how long with a concussion and he isn't backing down and running off.
