@yeabojo Is that what happened? I do not see any contact between anyone or anything at all.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

You can say what you want about the Pirates offense falling asleep recently...but this is atrocious by the Umps. Game should be tied. Just sick.

[Platinum Key @PlatinumKey13]

what.

this is how the pirates lost tonight.

somehow billy cook was called for interference running to 3rd.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

What a joke

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

What in the actual fuck is that call against the Bucs?

📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."

"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

"FIFA mandated that every game will have a hydration break once per half" sounds like a really positive thing.

No, FIFA just created a commercial break mid-game for a sport with no ad breaks, for every game, that they can sell to their sponsors for TONS of money. #FIFAWorldCup

Well I am glad I didn't have to pay PPV money for that, LOL #RouseyCarano

@JMackey_PGH Justin Lawrence looking very less-than-capable in recent appearances

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

@jonatheber @Trixiedevilfans @BizNasty2point0 Did Konecny not throw an elbow and attempt to kick a player with his skate?

Did Hathaway not strangely spin his stick around and high-stick Crosby?

Are these legal plays?

Prior to today, how many embellishment penalties does Crosby have in a 21-year career? Look it up.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

As a Pens fan, I surprisingly completely agree with @BizNasty2point0. The Flyers are scumbags, but that's who they are, and the Pens are letting them goad them into their game.

Let them be classless scumbags, play your game not theirs.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

@Trixiedevilfans @jonatheber @BizNasty2point0 You'd be so much better off if you just owned it. This is who the Flyers are, they are extremely good at it, and it wins them hockey games.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

@Trixiedevilfans @BizNasty2point0 Yep, agreed, Flyers have outplayed the Pens in all 3 games. And I will do you one better, Tocchet has out-coached Muse in every game as well.

And they are still scumbags.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

@muldowney DRINK!

@Heyis4horses 20 years:
"Crosby is a baby."
"Crosby is a whiner."

If anything else, Flyers fans are consistent.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

How many free whistle stoppages is Vladar gonna get while the Pens have possession?

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

@jonatheber @BizNasty2point0 Do you realize that this is a compliment to the Flyers? They are goading the Pens in and it is working, it is exactly what the Flyers want. Nowhere in my tweet did I say the Flyers were bad at hockey.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

2012 series all over again, the Pens need to NOT play the Flyers' game. This is Rick Tocchet after all, he knows exactly which buttons to push.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

All of the chaos was exactly what the Flyers wanted, and it worked.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

The refs losing control of the game completely disrupted and changed the momentum. And they missed the imitating elbow penalty that started the melee.

[Dan Machen @machdogg]

I do not believe I have ever seen an NHL game where the refs just say, "Screw it, everyone on the ice gets a penalty."
