The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a tough one against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night and naturally, Hunter and Pat start the show by discussing the controversial no-call in overtime. They look at how it was blatant interference by ROR and how the refs somehow missed it. They also dive into how this was a poorly officiated game overall but how the Penguins can’t just blame the refs for the loss because they did make mistakes of their own. They look at how both Guentzel and Karlsson were out to lunch in OT, plus how Tristan Jarry needed to be a bit more aggressive on that Forsberg rush. After that, the two get into some positives from this game, including Evgeni Malkin’s goal and how the Penguins controlled play before the final 10 minutes of the third. Finally, they reveal their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday!

only in the NHL do the rules change based on score and period. You hear phrases like "the even up call" , "he hasnt earned that call yet" or "the whistles are buried deep in this period". In the NFL, a face mask is a face mask. but in the NHL, its who committed the penalty and how deep in the game it is. You cant grow the game if people cant understand the rules.
we could blame reff all we want but we had powerplay and did not get goal vs worst pk team it would of been winable game but nope the powerplay still sucks
I'm not really on board with the rest of the fan base, focused on that being interference.
That was just trash defense from Karlsson. Why is he holding O'Reilly's stick and letting himself get dragged out position there? That deserved a delayed penalty on the Penguins, if anything. Last I checked holding the stick is an infraction. He's limiting O'Reilly's movement (who was trying to get onside), which directly led to the contact with Crosby.
Karlsson should have been maintaining his gap and containing Forsberg. He was the lone defenseman on the ice.
That was a display of poor defensive awareness, plain and simple.
And honestly, EK's cost this team 4 goals against in the last 3 games. It's becoming a real problem. Pettersson can only cover so much for him.
I love the player and am grateful he's here, but he needs to clean it up if this team is gonna rack up some W's.
On another note, wtf is up with the disbanded DOC-Eller-Z line? They are a 6GF-3GA line. Put Hinostroza, Puustinen or Pitlick with Malkin and use the 3rd line that's brought you success?
0 goals in the last 20 powerplay opportunities. enough said…
Jarry has been good but i have ellers for the helmet hahha. Glad doc is getting love here, other places they are bashing him a bit. I think the kid has stepped up and played well on three different lines this season. How many other players can and have done that? Get vinny in the line up some where over carts and harkins plz
Good to see Malkin/Smith get on the scoreboard. Would be awesome if they get rolling again. I'm sick of seeing this PP suck🤮!! You both a great!! Love the show.
Every team is the victim of crap calls and dumb refs its just how it is whats a piss off when its so blatantly obvious and they just want to get the game over with and they are too lazy to make calls, like last week Smith got hit from behind against Buffalo, no call the game changed after that just saying, every team will be a victim of bettmas pet zebras
Hinostroza should replace Harkins. Vinnie is too good to drop.
Noel Accairi would be my pick for the helmet . He has been doing great until they shackled him with JC on the wing again.
