First of all, apologies for trying to inject some activity into this dead board. I'll cease.
Copies of posts? Sharing tweets or because I also post at hf? Wait...I really don't care.
The twice reviewed bit in the tweet has nothing to do with it, the point is his quote and how comically inaccurate his description of the play is. Trotz had his own bizarro world version of what happened. Hornqvist would have to be some sort of octopus to cause all of that havoc in a millisecond. Hence, "quite an imagination."
As for game 2, that was gross incompetence (game 3 was as well, but not for goal reviews, as I said, this series is a gong show). No explanation/excuse making needed because it was clear interference on the first review, and of course the second reviewed play was a goal. Incompetence is the explanation.
Yes, they want illegal and unnecessary hits out of the game. The Caps' calling card is charging. Caps fans and the organization run around playing the victim card after they concuss and break jaws, take out knees, etc. Tom Wilson has been suspended 3 times this season, that's a record. And that is just the times they actually sacked up and suspended him for his antics. He's not the victim. When buffoons say those are just good hockey hits, they set back this game further.
Look, Slap Shot is a great movie (putting on the foil, lolz), but it is a movie, and the game has evolved from where it was in the 50s and 70s. We know more about head injuries now, we see the effect multiple concussions have long-term. It's the speed and skill of the game that are attractive, new fans don't want to watch neanderthal hockey, they think it's a joke. Physicality is great, but goonism is not. Many long time fans have smartened up over the last decade. Well, some. The shame of it is that so many of the public mouthpieces for the league in the front office and in the media are the meatheads that glorify old time hawkey. As long as you continue to let a guy that hit a fan with a shoe have a daily platform on NBC, your national tv partner, you lose credibility as an organization.
Ahh cheap shots, just like the Caps. How fitting.
Why is twice reviewed relevent? He is only talking about the interference which was only reviewed once and why doesn't he deserve an explanation? I thought you were upset when the Pens didn't get explanations after game 2....
Oh right, you're incapable of reason. That part of your brain just doesn't exist at all. Only posts you make are copies from other places that you bring here to try and feel relevant.

I don't care what other people do on other boards.When the Pens win the Caps reddit is left mostly untouched by them, after the 2 Caps wins almost all the threads were downvoted heavily and the top comments were from Pen fans coming in peace to explain how frustrating it was for them (i guess their own sub, the hockey main sub werent enough), lol. Yet they'll be the first to tell you next October that they don't hate the Caps and its a one way street.
Dunno what will make them happy, it seems like some Pens (players/fans) just want hitting out of hockey all together, they've totally removed that aspect from their team and game. Crosby was chirping the refs after he got crunched by Ovie last night.
