Was it just me, or were the Refs in the Pens-Flyers game horrible last night?

Question

yeah, but most of the ifs you said were something the players could control

Answer 1

The officiating has been horrible.....but its horrible for every team.......so does that come out as fair?

Answer 2

The Detroit fans said the same thing when Dallas prevented the sweep. Fans whine about games being rigged or blaming the referres for their loss, year after year...

It happens...

Prior to last night, the Flyers fans were arguing special treatment for the Penguins (namely Crosby and Malkin); now that the calls went in favour of the Flyers, the Penguins fans are the ones complaining...

Answer 3

It's just you.

If Ifs and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas.

Answer 4

honey if you ever watch hockey youd understand,

nhl refs have ALWAYS been horribal.

get over it.

go flyers

Answer 5

Hey, look! Sidney Crosby has decided to join the section!

Answer 6

Aw, too bad. Every team gets a turn.

Answer 7

You're not trying to be like Flyers fans eh?After the first period last night they were 5 QUESTIONS from PENS fans complaining about the officiating.If they dont get the calls they win?IF Malkin doesnt score a shortie in Game 1 we win If Steve Downie doesn't give away the puck in both games we win,IF we don't lose our best scoring threat,our 2 best Dman we might have swept who knows..Too many ifs and too many Pens complainers these last 2 days.

Yeah good idea-"Congradulate"your coach for not complaining.Perhaps you forgot "Your coach" was complaining of the Flyers scoring 8 goals and playing their top lines?Did you "Congradulate" him then too?

EDIT-I also like that you say the 3 teams the Pens have played but 1 GAME doesn't go your way and you couldn't wake up this morning quicker and complain about the refs.You are the worst of all cause you're up 3 games to 1 and you still complain and congradulate your coach.

Answer 8

Here's the problem: The Pens were outplayed. The refs didn't beat the Pens, the Flyers did. If the Pens want to end this ASAP, then they better bring the hitting pads. To beat Philly you have hit them in the mouth. Blaming the refs for losing is like wiping before you p**p, it doesn't make sense.

Answer 9

WAAAAHHHHH!

Both teams were chippy last night, so don't complain about the physical play.  And Crosby was giving it right back to Richards too, so you got no leg to stand on there.  He was whining all night, so someone had to shut him up.  

As far as Briere diving.  If you are talking about the Gonchar penalty, then you are wrong.  It was a hold before he went down.  Watch the replay or the game a little clsoer.

Answer 10

couldve been better, couldve been alot worse.

Answer 11

Stop crying, you are embarrassing the real Penguins fans out there.  Your bandwagon just hit a pot hole last night is all.

Answer 12

But by posting this question aren't you being just like the Senator, Ranger, and Flyers fans?  Stop complaining about the Refs.  The Pens lost because the Flyers owned them in first period.  You're team is still up three games to one and is going to the Stanley Cup finals, so just relax, sit back and stop whining like the fans you apparently don't want to be like.  And I didn't see Briere dive once but if he did I guess he is taking notice to Malkin's play of late because it seems every time you get near this guy he hits the ice.

Joe B - LMAO... I can't believe I missed  that.  But anyway while we are giving out congradulations, I would like to congradulate the Flyers on a big win.  It looks like the Pittsburgh school systems aren't that much better than Philadelphia's after all.

Answer 13

I agree with Andrew...calling out other teams fan base just ain't cool. Shut the F up already!

Answer 14

Hey when you get two slow a$$ teams on the ice like the Pens and the Flyers your going to get a lot of penalties!!!  Hooking, slashing, tripping.  Man the East is slowwwwww.  And as far as the officiating go's  the refs are NOT prefect, they can only call what they see.  I am a wings fan but that call against Homer in game 4 could have gone either way.  I was at the game against Anaheim when they called off a similar goal in the regular season.  That's part of the mystique in hockey NO instant replay!!!!  It is what it is..  And that's part of the game.  Shut up and take it like a man or woman..  Enough already with all this "No Fair No Fair my team SUCKED last night BUT lost because of the REFS".

Answer 15

is it just me or is all this whining annoying as $#!t ???? did you see how many bad calls we had to get through in our first 2 series?? the flyers came out hard in the 1st and i think they deserved the win. you dont know how the game would have went if those calls werent made. the pens goals wouldnt have definately happened. you guys need to suck it up. bad calls happen.

Answer 16

It was you.

Answer 17

All this whining about the refs from all fan bases is pathetic.  Maybe you would be satisfied if everyone put on a skirt and carried a purse around.  The game is physical, refs are human, and every team gets ripped on bad calls.

Funny how you call out every other fan base you have played as whiners.

Answer 18

I am a Pens fan, and yes alot of calls went agains us. But comming from a fan of hockey's opinion, not just a Pens fan, it was a real poorly ref'd gamed. They let it get out of hand, there were constant cheap shots and skirmishes and too many little fights. The Flyers got burned on a few calls too. The game was actually boring and not fun to watch because of the refs. As a hockey fan, it was terrible. But oh well, back in the Burgh Tuesday...LETS GO PENS!!

Answer 19

Yep look at this bad call.

Answer 20

imagine how bad it would have been if the Flyers did not fade in the third?   Quit your crying

and congratulate therrian? you mean for kissing A$$ hoping it will help get calls his way?

Answer 21

You got it all wrong. The Pens threw that game just like they threw the last regular season game.

The Pens ownership wanted the Pens to play another game at home so they could make more money.

Don't be whiny like all the Flyers fans.

Answer 22

I love when people start a sentence with, "I am not trying to be a" and then go on to being that exact thing they are not trying to be. Hilarious.

Answer 23

oh man, here we go again.
