I don't know how to phrase this sensitively, but is it fair to assume that if Therrien didn't happen to be from Montreal that he likely would've been fired a long time ago? Or is it a different sort of nepotism/favoritism at play that keeps him employed.

I mean this inquisitively so I apologize if this is hitting on something a bit more sensitive than I expect. I'm not sure what kind of animosity/prejudice/tension exists up their (except that there is some?) so any Canadian can feel free to use this as a chance to enlighten your southern friends.

I want to say that with Bergevin's penchant for talking about people's integrity and character, he also values loyalty and trust. He values Therrien because he's a "good guy", and like someone that hires their best friend on, gives him a much longer leash than he should..

Pens fans explain how that gets waived off when the ref was looking straight at the helmetless goalie with no intention to blow until after it's in the net.

I think it should be an automatic whistle when the mask comes off (because if not eventually a goalie is gonna catch a 100 mph puck to the dome and hemorrhage on the ice) but at the same time Murray must wear his straps awful loose because that thing comes off like once a game, it's absurd.

I agree it should be automatic, but it's not right now so what's the basis on calling that back.

Pens broadcast I'm forced to watch hasn't covered why it was called back, just that it was.

Close as I could tell is that the official thought Cole might've touched the puck/blew it dead before the puck went it.
