from Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Last year when the Penguins fell behind the Detroit Red Wings, 2-0, in the Stanley Cup final, then-coach Michel Therrien commented on the subtle obstruction and interference that Detroit players were committing against his players.
In addition to the déjà vu element of being down, 2-0, to the Red Wings again in this year’s Stanley Cup final, the Penguins are encountering the same type of obstruction and interference by the Red Wings, who, it seems, are being allowed by the officials to toe that fine line between good defense and committing a penalty.
For the most part, the officials in Games 1 and 2 have ignored obstruction and interference penalties.
