from John Dellapina at the Blueshirts Blog,
...That said, what I don’t get is how the hard-working and utterly honest men who referee NHL games can repeatedly be duped by the same maneuver - you know, that fling back of the head in mock horror in reaction to an opponent’s stick that didn’t come close to striking it. Like, say, the tap to the hip that Scott Gomez gave Crosby, drawing that head flop and a high-sticking penalty in today’s third period.
But even more mystifying is how Jaromir Jagr could have begun his career in Pittsburgh, developed into a superstar here and never learned the diving and face-clutching and horrified equipment shedding that has been part and parcel of Pens hockey ever since Mario Lemieux decided to shame the league into enforcing its obstruction penalties by embarrassing all officials who didn’t do so.

This editorial would have a bit more merit if Pierre McGuire didn’t first take the same opinion, and then publicly admit that Crosby did indeed get clipped in the teeth by Gomez’ stick, leaving black hockey tape marks as evidence.
As he noted, (buried toward the end of the entry), that if the Rangers played better, and there shots were at the net (instead of the logo or wide) they would have had more of a chance of drawing even.
