I feel that last nights game was rig. There were many penalties that should have been called against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The penalty called for two minors when a ref is standing right there and let's the penguins player hold down the Nashville player and grabs his head and bangs it on the the ice in my eyes in unacceptable. Also that same player throws a water bottle on the ice and again don't get penalized is wrong. If we lost and the game was fair I wouldn't be so upset over this loss. But when the game is all one sided the is clearly unacceptable. We the fans deserve answers. Dannette Proulx Clarksville ,TN

Sidney Crosby should be suspended! Two MAJORS in one game and no repercussions! He slammed PK Subans head into the ice, with an official standing right over him, ten times and then threw a bottle on the ice. Accident or not, that is a game misconduct!

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!!

Refs AND Announcers should be FIRED! I've never seen a series with more 1 sided calls in my entire life.

It is so sad what the NHL is letting the officials do in Pittsburgh. Why even have the series? just award the cup to the Penguins. It is not right and the NHL is really making themselves look bad!

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?

Terrible officiating. Nhl is concerned about concussions then let's Crosby beat subban head on ice. And throwing water bottle onto ice during play?? No penalties really?

The lack of calls/calls made, did not cause Nashville to lose game 5. That fact in no way, makes the officiating any less egregious.

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

This game was horrendous and those refs need to be suspended or fired!! How can you not penalize Crosby for pounding players head into ice and throwing a bottle onto the ice? You should all be ashamed for letting this happen. I am totally disgusted with all of you.

Crosby should have had a major penalty called on him last night for beating Subban's head into the ice.

Many penalties against Pittsburgh that were not called, but should have been. Beating player's head against the ice was one of many.
