Five for Frustrating

Listen, bitch. My email is TeamTanger so I’m all over you if you give Kris a hard time.  Like a 5 minute major and automatic game misconduct for a totally clean, shoulder-to-shoulder, yard sale hit on Blake Comeau that prevented a dangerous scoring opportunity Friday night.

Thank God the Pens hung on and won this one in overtime. Tanger has not had the greatest start to his season  – none of the Pens have, hence tonight’s start by Brent Johnson.  I would hate for this mis-call to have cost Pittsburgh the game and fallen on Kris’ shoulders.

As Chuck will attest, we applaud the refs for protecting players and we love the League’s focus on eliminating head shots from the game.  And that’s exactly when the League should should reverse the game misconduct that accompanies Letang’s 5-minute major.  Call it like it is NHL, and do the right thing when you get it wrong.
