Phaneuf gives Kessel a rough ride along the boards



Ottawa Senators defenceman Dion Phaneuf lays a hit on former teammate Phil Kessel that the Pittsburgh Penguins thought was a penalty.

  1. I guess it doesn't matter since it's already over but how was there no penalty called on that. Lol officiating in the NHL is so so bad.

  2. I guess you could make an argument that It's a 2 min minor for interference, but It's still funny seeing the Penguins bench react like someone got shot.

  3. What I'm really liking is Ottawa's physical play. They're really pushing Pittsburgh around. This is what they lacked against Anaheim a decade ago and they were manhandled in the final. Won't happen this time.

  4. As a die hard Leafs fan, I'm glad to see Phaneuf gone, I wanted him gone forever. I still don't think he's a great defense man and was baffled at the way he played on many of nights but I have to give some credit, Phaneuf has actually played well in this series and the playoffs alone. Some big hits, chipping in with some points. He's still one of the most flat footed D in the league who can get burned in this league on any night but good for him, he's done well with Ottawa!

  5. You see if Crosby did that to someone everyone would be freaking out and wouldn't let penguins fans forget it. This was obviously a penalty

  6. Another example as to why the NHL is dead last in viewership among the big 4 leagues. The puck was nowhere near Kessel, a player who scores, and a big buffoon is aloud to plant him, unpenalized. Pathetic. 2 minutes for interference shoul have been the call. Pathetic.
