BUT he said are you OK after intentionally crosschecking him in the ribs Jerkoff

Dirtbag Steve Downie went after Boychuk’s knee right before that.  Also unpenalized.  Payback’s tough.

Hey gang, he got Malkin in the gonads.  That is not illegal, just somewhat unethical and it sure as hell hurts.  The Pittsburgh announcers whine as much as Cindy does.

It’s definitely a penalty, but Malkin is also a bit of a drama queen.

This was THE WORST officiated game you’ll ever see.  Jackson and Joannette let everything go all night, to the tune of there being only one power play in a very physical game.  They let a questionable hit on Boychuk go just before this, and this was the result.  The two clown refs are more the cause of this than anything.

incidental contact.

.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) UMMM no ! Downie tried to check him & Boychuck slid out of the way of the full hit but his lower body still got hit

The Problem is Dave Jackson he is by far the worst Ref in a Horribly Reffed League

soon as I saw he was 1 of the Refs I knew it would be a shitshow
