Therrien complained about the lack of obstruction enforcement before the Penguins’ 3-2 victory in Game 3 on Wednesday, though it wasn’t apparent if his campaign was successful. The Penguins had only three power-play opportunities, though Sidney Crosby scored one of his two goals following Niklas Kronvall’s hooking penalty early in the second period.

Therrien pleaded again Friday for more open ice, especially with Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Marian Hossa finding it difficult to get through the neutral zone compared to previous playoff rounds.

“If there’s obstruction, there’s obstruction,” Therrien said. “When I see about 13, 14 (video) clips … that I could tell there should be a penalty regarding the (rule) book, I know how it is. I’m not expecting that they’re going to call 14.

“(But) I’m expecting next game, the obstruction calls, they’re going to call it. I still believe there’s some space to improve again. When you break down the game, you’ll see that there’s a few times they should have been called. And calls are important. You need those calls.”



Kurvára elegem van már ebből a köcsögnek a sírásából. Ma rá kell tenni a korit a nyakukra, hétfőn meg lenyomni. Elég.
