I honestly couldn't help it. They were horrific.
It was a double minor, and I don't think they managed to even gain the offensive zone with the puck the entire first 2 mins. I think they finished a 4 min man advantage with one shot.
I didn't even want to boo, it just happened.

Yeah, I had a similar experience at a Flames/Thrashers game a few years ago. (This one here:
http://espn.go.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=291209003). Flames were having some of the worst PPs I had ever seen, and midway through there was a moment where Phaneuf was standing with the puck behind his own net for about 15 seconds, and over that time it seemed to go from a smattering of boos to everyone in the building yelling for him to just do something with the puck.
After the game, the media was all over the fans for booing Phaneuf, but anyone at the game could have seen that it was mostly a spur-of-the-moment reaction to a brutal sequence, and while my part was more groaning or yelling rather than booing, I wasn't ashamed to be part of that moment.
