Bah.

There is absolutely no consistency in the officiating.

Karma, we get a shortie.

It's a joke.

Spezza looks like he's tuning PMac out...

sens a buzzing

To be honest, other than the Smith interference and Foligno hi-stick they have all been earned. My problem is with letting so much go the other way.

Cowen really has to shoot at the net more. he doesn't look comfortable out there. he had some good chances.

I think you are seeing things.

I think he's just taking it personally. He knows he needs to produce.

OT again

It's a legitimate observation. Twice in the last few minutes they showed PMac talking to Spezza and Spezza staring ahead and not responding or even acknowledging the coach.

Exactly. Hockey players will push their limits, but if they don't know what their limits are, they might just keep pushing. See head-shot on Spezza. No one knows where the line is, and it seems to be different for one team than another. The NHL needs to do something about the officiating problems.

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy against the Sens. There have been games where the same apparent bias has been in the Sens favour. They need to get rid of that entirely.

ah c'mon, he's listening to him, he's just pumped and looking ahead of him at the game.

Turris is amazing

I hope so... but when a coach is talking to a player on the bench, and the player is not even looking at the coach and just nodding his head as if to say "yeah yeah yeah"... I see that...

Relax. I'm not saying that's what was happening, just that, from what we just saw, it's a possibility. You'll also notice that I said earlier that I think he's just taking it personally. I don't think he's tuning out, but it's possible.
