I am going to use this space to wine and cry about last night's game with the Flyers. The Simmons hit on Dumo was high, but Simmons is a tall player. It is up to the ref to make the call and Pens to take advantage of it. As we found out later, the refs in this game sucked big time. When the Pens have a lead the Flyers strategy is to draw a penalty by going after Evgeni Malkin. They came down with a pretty good slash on Malkin's wrist, the blind referee let it go and Malkin held his cool as much as possible. The Penguins should have had a powerplay as this slash is almost always called. Then Matt Cullen slashes the puck carrier twice on the shin pads and the ref calls him. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. The Penguins held up pretty well with only 4 defensemen for most of the game. They lost there top 2 defense and Jack Johnson played over 30 minutes. Not a recipe for winning hockey. Murray gave up a weak goal which he has to quit doing if Pittsburgh is going to make the playoffs. I grew up watching this rivalry all my life and this would be your typical game back in the day.

Is there ever a time when Penguins fans don’t whine?

is there ever a time when flyers fans are classy? booing injured players and always throwing stuff on the ice.

Yeah, when Giroux is whining to the refs like he does on just about every shift, or when we are laughing because a Flyer fan is talking about goaltending.
