As is always the case when these two teams get together, the game had a lot to offer. There was some good physical play, exciting moments, a fight, lots of pushing and shoving, some great play and a tight game to the end. I certainly feel like the Pens got back on track tonight. They definitely looked like they came to play. They played better tonight, but I think this team is only going to get stronger.
I have to say, I thought the referees tried to send a message to both teams. They tried to let the players know that they weren’t going to let things get out of hand. They called a bunch of penalties that could be considered questionable. It started 14 seconds into the game when Danny Briere was called for a very borderline hooking call. It just felt like the refs had a plan in mind. All in all, there 22 penalties called.
