    The girl wasn't the one blackmailing him. It was a 3rd party.

    The stripes took our momentum away no doubt it changed the complexion of the game. And that was one of the most egregious series of significant bad calls to effect a team momentum and game outcome I've ever seen. But we have to be tougher than that. We fell apart for 4 minutes. It was very frustrating to watch. And Pekka has got to play the puck from his left better than that. That's his weak spot. Ducks figured it out also.

    I never saw anything on that goal that led me to believe he was offsides.

    I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgable hockey fan but how is that overturned?

    Game was in Pitt, and Pittsburgh people are dirty filthy creatures that will cheat for the home team...

    I see the refs were doing their "protect the champs at all costs" impersonations..

    Admittedly, I'm whining and wouldn't be if we'd won that game.

    But I'm used to the NFL standard of "clear and incontrovertible" evidence to overturn the call. That standard wasn't met on the video. And it was very far removed from the scoring play which was a phenomenal goal. And huge for momentum. The challenge stopped our momentum and it took the goal away.

    The second came on the phony Jarnkrok call. Hornquist simply slipped. Neal did do a bonehead call that put them on the 5 on 3, but honestly it should have simply been a 5 on 4 which we killed multiple other times.

    And lastly, Crosby gave Eckholm an upper cut that knocked him off his feet and opened the shooting lane in which they scored immediately. It should have been an "interference" call.

    I have never seen such an egregious series of bad and no calls that so significantly affected the outcome of the entire game. Very frustrating to me and the NHL should at least acknowledge their rules need revision and that overturned goal was a bad call.

    Pittsburgh is a great team. Their experience showed as they took full advantage of the possible "home cooking" and we got rattled and out of sorts. But we won't win this series no matter how hard we play if the refs don't clean that chit up and we don't keep our head out of our azz if/when something fishy happens again. And Pekka HAS to play better, especially from his left side.

    I don't usually wish ill on another team, but I hope we beat the chit of Pittsburgh physically and on the scoreboard. Crosby got some Brady-like leniency from the stripes last night. I could see a "riot" at Bridgestone if the stripes keep that up in game 3 and 4 or at least don't make the same egregious bad/no calls in our direction that allow us to win a game. It was that bad in my book.

    The Preds won everything in that game but the final score, and Pitt definitely got a lot of assistance from the zebras. It's hard enough to beat a team that talented, but literally take a goal off the board, give them some huge advantages in a 5v3 and not calling some key, blatant penalties, and that's all the need to take the advantage.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw it that way though. I always wonder if my homerism is impairing my judgement, but it seems like everyone who watched that game last night keeps coming up with the same conclusion: Nashville got hosed hard.

    if you read comments on various SPORTSNET videos on youtube you'll see most people agree the offsides call was garbage, and they aren't fans of preds.. I think everyone is basically sick of Pitt though

    check the comments on this

    Every time I see that I get more and more disgusted by the fact it was called back.

    Just game one, but I hope the Preds can get over this better than I can. That game made me straight sick to lose.

    Hope we come out strong, we get all the calls and win 4 in a row.
