I'm a Rangers fan, and sure Sidney Crosby embellished that last penalty and of course I was cursing at the ref at the time...but I mean, come on, my team blew a 3-0 lead. Take care of the puck and you won't need to worry about officiating. I agree. quit crying.

First, I need to mention I am neither a Flyers or Canadians fan. But this is typical Philly reaction (everyone cheated us). Look at the CBC broadcast highlights and let me know where you see the puck when it was hit with the stick. I can give you a hint (below the crossbar). That WAS a penalty on Mike Richards, like it or not. Read the rule, watch the rplay again and then try to make an argument why it is not. Apparantly every anyalyst on VS, CBC and MSG (includes former player analysts) is wrong, and YOU are right. You should probably get a job for one of those networks. Whether you like to believe it or not, penalties occur. I need not remind you that you won in game 7 on an OVERTIME power play. They let a lot of things go up until that point, but at the end of the day, it was the right call to make. Do us all a favor and try to have some commen sense when posting things. I can't stand to always hear everyone in Philly cry about how they got screwed by refs in every single sport. Sometimes you are better than your opponent, and sometimes you are not. Do me a favor and write an article the first time a legitimate goal is scored against your team. I love to read about history when it is made. Finally, I have not heard one peep out of a Phily sports fan when bad calls are made in their favor. Why is it that not one person ever says, "Horrible call! If we score now it should be discounted"? The perfect example, when you scored a playoff goal against Buffalo (I think) and it went through a hole in the side of the net. They realized what happened, sewed the hole, yet allowed the goal anyway. Were you crying about the refs then too? Are you kidding me? First, I need to mention I am neither a Flyers or Canadians fan.
