Don't you mean why is my team undisciplined and take stupid and unecessary penalties?
Well if you were watching that play it didn't matter the play was 4 on 4, the reffs could've easily have called the Pens player for goalie interference considering he was still hacking at osgood after the whistle. And that when he stopped he sprayed the goaltender intentionally.
Also if your gonna go to the net to look for rebounds its "KNOWN" that your gonna get your shit rocked. When I played in AA Bantams I was only 5' and would go to the net and get clobbered and no call. I didn't complain, I wasn't where I was supposed to be, I'd do the same for my goalie. And a dive

Crosby must be going into DEBT!
Don't you mean why do the refs favor the Pens and we're still losing the series?
Your basically making yourself look like a whiny fan for no reason, like the Pittsburgh coach being a little bitch as well. All the penalties WERE being called equally and fairly tell the last two games. In game one the penalties were fairly even with Pitt taking just one more and watching the game it was a very fairly called game from the point of view of a neutral fan.
Game 2. Was called fairly the whole time, and VERY few calls were missed. The reason the penalty numbers were so lopsided was because Pitty was playing from behind and frustrated, and it showed, they took alot of dumb and unecessary penalties.
Game 3 and 4 Coach Therrien becomes a whiny bitch trying to make an excuse for why his team was down 2-0.

Ok so thats a blip about how its backlashing or will backlash on him. Why because everyone watching knows why detroit is winning the series, of each game the possesion of the puck looks like this Det 50 MINUTES . Pitt 10 MINUTES.
And missing obstruction calls on detroit? Please fucking hit yourself in the head with a shovel Therrien. Watch your own bench diving all over the place like a bunch of synchronized swimmers. Not to mention a TON of obstruction calls for some reason that were missed against the Pittsburgh Geese during the last two games after Therrien made those comments. Detroit doesn't "obstruct" they do what you call, BACKCHECKING and have 3-4 guys back every time the pens come up the ice so it is often that whoever has the puck will usually give it over.
Did you see the 5-3, please both calls were questionable at BEST, the later being more realistic. Did you see how Zetterberg played Crosby on that play? Want to know why you don't see that replay more often? Because all the cameras in the building are looking down on Sid the Kid, how do we know? Ever notice how there like "Oh look how good Crosby is" they always show some sort of replay from an off angle of Crosby doing something. Crazy. So Therrien if a smart defensive play is what you consider an "obstruction" you may be right. But your not, and you may as well throw your speedo on and start joining in the rest of your diving extravanganza.
If Pittsburgh really has any shot at winning this series there players have to stop taking dumb useless penalties, like when Fleury could've easily grabbed the puck with his glove and freezed it he bats it out of play? Whats the point? Same with all the crosschecking and stupid plays Pitt made in game 3, even though they luckily survived that 3rd period.
If I were Mike Babcock I'd be asking the officials to re-evaluate how Pitty is playing! Know why he doesn't? Because he's professional and seasoned and knows how his team plays, and they don't need to "whine and dine" to win the stanley cup.
And Does anyone else think i need to invest in a new surround sound system?
You absolutely do, I was watching it on a small 15 " tv from an Antenna and it sounded less Staticy then ever!
