At this point it does not matter who wins the cup. This series is tainted.
We the people want the National Hockey League (NHL) officials to answer for games 1 and 5 played in Pittsburgh due to the antics that were allowed to occur. Including but not limited to the "fights" between P.K. Subban and Sidney Crosby, the bottle thrown on ice, the no calls on goalie spearing and interference. All in all we want answers for why the game is so one sided and so many calls are being made in Pittsburgh into comparison to the games played in Nashville. Also we the people want investigations into if officials were bribed in any way or form. Also if said officials placed bets on the series which would be a complete break of contracts and the spirit of the game.

This behavior teaches children who look up to these hockey players that bullying and unfair conduct is acceptable. Yes, hockey is a rough sport but trying to give another player a concussion is disgusting, offensive and dangerous to say the least. The NHL seriously needs to address this issue!!!!
The NHL reputation is on the line here. The calls and no calls have been so blatant that it truly looks like this is rigged or the refs and linesman are being paid off. The NHL should tell us who is going to win so people don't waste a ton of money thinking they are going to see a real sports game.
An investigation needs to be done. There is no excuse the blatant penalties that were ignored by Pittsburgh...especially with the ref standing right there next to the incident. Minor penalties given on what should have been a game misconduct and especially after a water bottle was thrown onto the ice by Crosby as well. Excusing dirty play like that is unacceptable!!
Crosby's unsportsmanlike conduct in beating P.K. Subban's head on the ice was unconscionable, made even worse by Subban also being penalized. The so-called referees let this escalate instead of doing their jobs and stopping this. It is clear that the referees were biased. What happened to fairness?
The officials on the big screen teach our children the rules of the game. I do not think my 8 year old need to think bashing heads in ice is permitted In any league. Especially while the official merely stands by
It is never ok for a white HOCKEY player to smash the head of a Black (or any other race other than white...) on the ice or anywhere else!!!!!!
After watching game five and seeing what happened how could the REF stand by and watch Crosby pushing down with his stick and glove on Subban's head .And not doing a single thing about it until Subban got the upper hand sound kind of funny ,That a water bottle just slipped out of his hand and he was on the way down on the first penalty of the game .That is going to cause a rash oh hate and someone going to get hurt or end there hockey playing career.

Regardless of who would have won the game--i expect fairness in hockey games. The behavior and one sided calls resulted in what appeared to be an unfair game. This is professional sport and I expect the officials to be professional and do their due diligence to call a fair game.
