| Penguins accuse Osgood of diving? | Tuesday 5/27, 7:55 AM CT |
|
After being shutout for the second straight game in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Penguins have unleashed some unsavory comments, according to FanNation.com. Coach Michel Therrien namely blasted Chris Osgood, as Therrien said, "We took two penalties tonight on the goalie. We never take penalty to the goalie in the playoff. I'll tell you something, I reviewed those plays. He's a good actor. He goes to players, and he's diving. I know our players are frustrated right now. It's tough to play the game. But Osgood did the same thing against Dallas under Mike Ribeiro. Osgood remarked, "I've been called worse. I'm not really concerned about it right now. The minute the buzzer goes, it's out of my head."
Our View: Detroit has outscored Pittsburgh 7-0 over the two games in the series, and the Penguins are just venting out some frustration. |
