In my opinion all the refs need a talkin' to..... I can't believe Torres of The Coyotes was not even penalized for leaving his feet plus a head shot! Ridiculous!

Backstrom gets 1 game for crosscheck and Neal takes a run at 2 different players and he is a repeat offender.... he ony gets 1 game? Shanny is a joke. Let's see what Torres gets for taken a run at Hossa tonight.

That was a nasty hit. Torres is a repeat offender also.

He would have only got a fine if he would have done that. I don't get Shanny decision making.

Obviously you're wrong. Again.

You stopped watching because the PENS were getting their @ss beat again. Was Cindy not face washing Hartnell from behind?

That's about what I had figured. I think Asham got 4 just to ensure he was out for the length of this series.

While we've been focused on the Pens/Flyers series for obvious reasons, it's amazing just how much of this stuff is going on in other the other series as well. SuspensionFest 2012!

Of course the biggest joke is how Weber got off with just a $2500 fine for intentionally slamming Zetterberg's head into the glass, repeatedly. If that isn't clear intent to injure, (while having nothing to do with making a hockey play), nothing is.

Face washing is not fighting.

Both Crosby and Hartnell got 2 for roughing for their antics. Then Adams came in and flung Hartnell around to fight him, which got Adams the instigator and misconduct, while both he and Hartnell got 5 for fighting.

Not to mention allowing games to get so out of control. It's their job to make sure they get the call right and keep it under control and they can't even do that! They're also in the way a lot. Even Joe B. or Locker mentioned that the same official got in the way of the play multiple times during the last game. These guys are supposed to be professionals and they shouldn't have more impact on the outcome than the players do!
