Don't know what is going on in the NHL these days (other than them wanting Crosby to be their poster boy and advance to the finals) but these calls are well beyond ridiculous now.  I can see one or two games being called like this, but the ENTIRE series the Pens have about twice as many power plays as the Caps.  What happened to the refs in the playoffs letting the players decide the outcome.  What happened to years gone by when they would do their best to call the game down the middle, if they make a mistake early on, they make up for it later.  Not in this series, the officiating has been the WORST I have ever seen, and I've been watching hockey for 20 years. 

Even with the refs in the tank for Pittsburgh it looks like the Caps still will not be denied.  Go Game 7!

so true I'll never forget the game 6 penalty in OT that was called on us and then the complete ignoring of the obvious interference penalty only minutes later to have pittsburgh score 10 seconds after the missed call
