Ticky tack

The officials aren't getting any fans here tonight. And I imagine fans locally and in Jersey are screaming at their TVs.

Ruslan Fedotenko and Scott Gomez were just sent to the penalty box for matching roughing penalties. Early in the period, they called a ridiculous tripping penalty on Richards for merely sticking out his stick and reaching for the tuck. Not only did the play look like a dive, but there's been several other identical plays that weren't called.

You know the stripes want to enforces the rules in the playoffs, but consistency is all need.

St. Louis just scored to make the score 3-2, but I don't think you can fault Brodeur. It look like St. Louis flicked the puck over Brodeur's right leg.
