I understand why you like a lot of their players....it's their fans that I can't stand. Every time they lose, no matter who they play, it's because the refs are out to get them. And of course the fierce rivelry between the Pens and Caps makes me not like them either
The Sabres were rolling pretty good. Not so much now. The defence is still decent, but the offense has been VERY inconsistent. It's time to shake things up a bit, but Darcy won't do it.
Yes... Caps "fans" are some of the worst, in my experience, in the NHL. VERY few of them knew anything about the Caps until Ovechkin came on the scene. Plus, their general hockey sense, again from what I have expereinced in going to some games, is low. Just because one of your players falls down, its not a penalty. Also, they clearly have no idea what interference is these days.... Then there was the comment about the Habs fan base. LOL I've been to NHL games vs. the Habs in Buffalo, DC, Philly, Pittsburgh and Florida. Each time, at least 1/3 of the attendance was Habs fans.
All that said... BOTH sides got jobbed by the officials in that last game. It was just awful. The worst was a Caps player getting called for slashing by the deep ref. He got called because a Pens player stick broke, on its own. The ref had to have seen the result and not the action. VERY bad call.
