Yeah, either way, we're going to deal with drunk & violent assholes that the rest of the hockey community will laff off as "that's just passionate fans for ya!"

These post-melee reviews and explanations by the refs is getting out of hand.

This Pens/Flyers game has been stopped for 10 minutes.

The Pens are going to get swept by the Flyers, and Flyers fans will be planning the parade route.

Hard to believe that was the 1st time in 2 decades that Crosby has been called for embellishment. And he flopped like the fish in the Faith No More video to earn that one.

I still remember how demonstrative he was in “selling” calls right from the first game I saw him play in person in his rookie year. The idea that he’s gone this long without getting called for embellishment is a joke.

Yup. There are two refs, so why they can’t split up and do the explanations to the benches at the same time is beyond me. That would have cut 4-5 minutes out of that process last night.

It’s like Devils fans trying to sell the narrative that Scott Stevens wasn’t a scumbag because he had never been called for elbowing.
