How does a PP with Crosby Malkin Letang and Neal suck so bad?

Good grief Boston, the diving. I thought the Bruins were better than that.

Refs put their whistles away for almost 2 full games and now they call these last two penalties?

That penalty on Marchand was a dive by Orpik, both sides are diving.

By the way, Orpik looks gunshy out there. Losing all his board battles, not initiating anything.

Paul Martin has been Pittsburgh's best player over the first 4 games. That is a huge problem.

Iginla just gave up on a race against Boychuk to avoid getting rocked. He needs a fight or something to get back into this series

I really like Chara, but that was a dive no way around it. Hate seeing that.

It was as much a dive as Orpik's was. Your reputation absolutely plays into it as evidenced by Marchand not getting the tripping call against him

Edit: my point was that based on Chara's career he is not known as a diver. Maybe that skate that was stuck out by Morrow really did surprise him. (I missed the replay so I haven't seen it again).

Iginla is really a disappointment to me. I figured in Calgary he was coasting around because he was just burnt out and tired of the same old same old, but he's doing the same things now. Hate to say it but he's become a lazy hockey player.

Watching Boston makes me really appreciate Patrice Bergeron. Unreal 2 way player and should be a lock for Canada 2014.

Call them all then. They will stop real quick.

And no, it was a dive...

I'd love to see dives called. Also fines if you get more than one diving call against you in a season

I love watching Bergeron.

So heady, so consistent.

I'll always love Iggy for his years in Calgary, but it's astonishing how completely ineffective he's become. I know he's older and slower now, blah blah blah...but from everything I've heard, his fitness level is amazing and he keeps himself in really good shape. It's just so sad watching him play these days. The guy used to be such a dominant force whenever he was on the ice. He just doesn't seem all that engaged in the play anymore. It's weird.
