Doesn't change the fact it was an awful call.

and he drew a penalty for his team to have a chance to score on a PP?!

it was the correct call. it was clearly interference...

I don't have any problem with the over the glass penalty. It doesn't happen during a casual zone clear.

Pressure leads to a mistake which leads to a powerplay. Modern hockey is a game of capitalizing on mistakes.

Lol you are acting like he made some brilliant tactical decision to draw a penalty. It was a moronic decision and he got himself injured.

I'm going with Malkin and Chimera

Maybe I'm biased but I like it being a penalty.

1 minute makes sense though.

but he didn't get injured did he?

he made a decision to avoid getting hit, something any player would do...

even pens fans acknowledge it was a penalty...

geez... look over the previous posts; everyone thinks you must be joking....or you're clearly a pens fan

Talk about Mr. Clutch...

Justin Williams has 14 goals in 19 elimination games.

[CroFlames]

Williams obviously for the Caps. Hagelin for pens

Agree in that.

Issue is that for the most part the NHL will let you murder a guy with all the stick work come playoff time and there will be no call.

I don't mind them letting a little more go in the playoffs but it is getting pretty ridiculous, especially in close games.

[MRCboicgy]

Ovie and Sid.

give the people what they want.

[activeStick]

Who is in the last 20 years had been as clutch as Williams in the post season? I recall Claude Lemieux being a comparably clutch playoff performer too but my memory may be off...

[SilverGS]

Trip and no call

[Nammer403]

I got both captains

[Frank MetaMusil]

Richards for the Caps

Kessel for the hatty

[Ashasx]

orpik must have some dirt on the refs

Yeah more closer to a hook but would have been weak after watching replay.
