2023 - 2024 Season Florida Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins 1/26/2024 This is my second channel that will focus only on NHL content. My main channel is over here. / @trancexzero
No ill intent at all and 58 handled the aftermath with class. took the crosscheck and the punch, didn't play dirty back to them and got the powerplays.
@@TheXdxd08he won more cups than the entire poverty franchise in Florida ever did. Only things the Panthers are known for are them playing like little children in their feelings and Tkachuk chewing his mouthguard like he is missing the braincells to grasp for air.
Not a fan of either team in the slightest, but Florida is out there embarrassing themselves. Look like a bunch of toddlers having tantrums. I agree with every penalty called, but Letang did not deserve all that shit for that little bump.
Had the refs called penalties on Pit I'm sure they wouldn't have taken it into their own hands. Montour gets smacked in the face with a stick, nothing. Goalie tripping a panther in front of ref, nothing.
Letang doesn't deserve a free pass here, Barkov at no time has possession of the puck and Letang has no justification to hit him at all. Granted it isn't a huge it but it is still dirty because there is absolutely no reason to throw the hit to begin with. If you want this crap out of the game hits like this regardless of the end result. 2 minutes for interference is a joke. And as the officials failed badly things risk getting out of hand. All because the officials failed to do their damn jobs on the initial incident. Should have been 5 and a game for Letang period.
The entire game Florida looks like toddlers having tantrums, you are so right. Tkachuk shoots the puck at the net after the whistle early, not long after Carter directs the puck towards the net softly after a whistle & Tkachuk acts like he wants to kill the guy. Someone breaks their stick on Letang's helmet all because he softly runs into Barkov. The whole thing was just comical. If the Pens weren't playing so poorly lately, or if Florida is playing anyone who can put some goals on the board I think Florida gets spanked this game just because they can't keep their cool.
To me this just looked like Letang living rent free in the Panthers heads, just playing the game normally and somehow they get ferociously pissed off for no reason
@@spearson103 i mean the penguins are still not a great team compared to florida overall, but florida really did seem upset about him just playing the game…
@spearson103 clown behavior is acting like your team is good because they won while playing like the dirt bags the rest of the league knows em as. So glad we dropped yall out of the cup.
@@barrymccoquner5934 "Just playing the game", tripping a player and after that throwing one of their important guys puckless into boards. How to tell someone you are a Leafs fan without telling them.
@@HPxG323 Yeah tripping is a very common part of the game.. as for "throwing one of their important guys puckless into boards" get fucked, throwing?! They slightly bumped into each other... I've seen bigger hits in womens hockey and here you are acting like Scott Stevens lit him up.
@@bobjones3069 Bennett for intent to injure. A crosscheck to the head is 100% intent to injure. Tkachuk for trying to start shit. Refs done it last time and guess what? the bullshit stopped. The Panthers are nothing but a little ratting team.
Letang is one of the most respected and professional players in the league...has been for plenty of years. And I say this a Flyers fan...I despise the Penguins...but I'm a hockey fan...no way Letang should have gotten called for that...and Florida is dumb for going after him. Good way to ruin your seed spot with then playoffs coming up...lose your cool against a non contender
Won this game, took the first seed in the division, and won the cup. Showing that injuring top guys, intentional or not, is off limits is what keeps them healthy
Yeah they do, they follow Paul Maurices lead. Scream bloody murder for every bit of contact even though they are the by far the greasiest team in the league.
Panthers play a team game so they stick up for each other. They made the cup final from that. Agreed on Barkov though, softer than warm butter on fresh toast.
The Panthers play right on the edge or just over the line all the time and most often get away with it. The league shoukd fine Maurice as this has always been a trademark of his teams. Cousins and Tkachuk are often way over the line and are dirty players.
Exactly right. These crybaby Pens fans would be singing a different tune if 87 was cheap shotted. Panthers play clean and with respect until you start that cheap shot B.S.@@Astincone
Please stop calling this a hit Barkov lost his balance plain and simple they typically Florida fashion went to thug mode. It's ok for them to abuse others but they think they are special. Taking stupid penalties. These boys need to man up the talent they have and to piss It away like that speaks volumes of there on ice leaders.
Weak contact or not, still caused him to slip and no one is noticing how hard Barkov's head hit the wall on his way down. Any person, no matter what size, will be down when hit in the back of the head like that
@@hypnotiq yeah I get that, and I'm well aware shit happens and players slip and fall from time to time. However everyone keeps saying Letang's "weak ass 'hit'" knocked him down on his ass when he actually ended up hitting the back of his head on the way down. Now I don't think that was intentional and I don't think it was a hostile bump really, however it cannot be ignored that he still hit his head and possibly got concussed 🤷
that team isn't gonna win a f*cking thing if they keep up this nonsense. they act like a bunch of criminals. its because tkachuk was spoiled in his childhood and probably threw a bunch of tantrums but ended up getting his way
...so are you blind or an idiot?........watch the fucking play again go to 1:25 and watch the skates. He touches Letang's skate picks up his leg so he doesn't accidentally slew foot, then Letang give him a push......... So to recap he is on 1 foot, not in contact with the puck and Letang pushes him. doesn't take much with no foundation
I don't care how big or tall you are or how much you weigh, when the back of your head gets hit like Barkov's did on the wall on his way down, I'm sure you'd be down for a few moments too 🤷 it's so crazy to me how everyone thinks he just tripped and got knocked down by Letang, like yeah it happens pretty quick but you can clearly see him hitting his head on the way down. Now I don't think that was intended of Letang nor do I believe it was hostile but still, it can't be ignored that he could've possibly got a concussion
@@FMCTJR56 so I'm stupid for pointing out he hit his head on his way down? 😂😂😂 What are you even on about, I even said I don't think Letang meant that. He could've tapped him on the shoulder or full on shoved him with his weight, either way Barky still got a nasty hit on his head from the slip. If he didn't, I'm sure he wouldve got right back up. Players slip and fall from time to time, shit happens, just not after a hit like that is all I'm trying to get across because so many people keep saying, "he's a big tough guy, why did he get laid out like that" but clearly ignore the fact he hit his head on the way down 😩
@@jamesgoertler133 you're going to brag about a shootout victory, at least the Pens have cups to their name, goose eggs for Florida and been in the league since 93
This is embarrassing for the Panthers. The garbage from Bennett and then the last play were completely uncalled for. I het playing as a group, playing with the edge that they do but Maurice needs to reign his horses in. This team has incredible potential but this garbage play will bring them down.
that team isn't gonna win a f*cking thing if they keep up this nonsense. they act like a bunch of criminals. its because tkachuk was spoiled in his childhood and probably threw a bunch of tantrums but ended up getting his way
The refs will call a 5 min major on a play like that so then can review it. The rules allow them to go to video review on any 5 min major call. The trip was a legit penalty but as far as the interference call I'd say that, yes there was contact away from the puck but no way should it have been a penalty. If they're going to call that, then every scrum that happens after a goalie makes a save and guys start pushing around the net needs to be called. To me it looks like Barkov just lost his balance after the light contact and fell awkwardly into the boards. For those saying he dived, he didnt, he was shaken up, probably knocked the wind out of himself. The refs definitely should have called that a no call on the interference and just stuck with the 2 min trip.
@@truenorthscalemotorsports527 Can they do that though? I thought that once they called the penalty to review, the LEAST they could do was bring it down to a minor, so I thought their hands were tied. But if they COULD have taken the interference off they should have.
@@StevieWicks Im not sure what the rule is, but I'd assume they can take the penalty away if one isnt warranted. I just know they'll often call a 5 on a play they want to review cause that gives them a chance to review it. I personally dont think it should have been a penalty on the contact, it was minor and no ill intent on Letang. The slash/tripping call he got was 100% correct but the interference was not a penalty imo. And for the record I'm neither a Florida or Pittsburg fan so this is just my take on what I saw.
Honestly huge props to Kris Letang for his discipline there. His penalty was super soft. And they got so many opportunities because of the reactions it caused. He easily could’ve thrown away those opportunities by retaliating. But he was down 1 in an important game, and kept his cool and got the team a ton of opportunities from it. Good, disciplined veteran.
I can't stand the Pens now and I'm a lifelong Pens fan. Letang was getting beat on all game and not one of his teammates came to his aid, it was pathetic. It's literally frustrating to watch.
It's no wonder why I do not like the Panthers. It's too bad we can't have them play the Flyers from the 70s. They would really have something to cry about then.
Can't speak for these commentators, but most of the league said the same things when Crosby got chicken wing'd by Steckel and was out for about 100 games. Arguably decreased what is already one of the most legendary player's legacy by quite a lot, to the point where Crosby could be pushing for an 1800 point career.
Of course when you have as important guy like Barkov on your team, his teammates protects him. It's hockey, im not saying this was a dirty, its physical sport.
Neither of those calls should have been a penalty. Letang's stick grazed Barkov's knee and all of a sudden both his feet fly into the air. Then Letang and Barkov casually brush each other and Barkov flings himself into the boards and then smacks his head on the ice. I can't believe they reviewed that second call and still issued a penalty. Absurd. They should give Barkov a breathalyzer because he looked like a wobbly drunk on that shift.
2 min for tripping and 2 min for being the player that didn't fall down. However, no penalty for Shitchuck for his asshat activity. "The referees are no dummies" ... Uh -- give Matthew a penalty for his bullshit and maybe you get control of the game. But the referees are dummies so they lost control.
Bunch these panthers should take the demotion to the PWHL. I heard they have a hard time filling more than the first row, tho. grow a set panthers, it's hockey, not ping pong..
The hit on Barkov looks like accidental contact with a horrible outcome, the shit the Panthers did afterwards was absolutely uncalled for. Fine Maurice and the Panthers an amount that actually means something and don't throw the book, throw the entire fucking library at the Panthers players who went after Letang, and this is coming from someone who has Pittsburgh in their bottom 5 teams for cheering.
@@lxreedyxl4605it's hilarious how you think the "hit" from Letang was a hit at all. Maybe barkovs dumb eurotrash ass should learn how to skate before playing in the big leagues. Because this "bump" is something that happens hundreds of times a night. Which is funny because you tell the other guy to go watch figure skating.. calling him soft. What a hypocrite. Too many lobotomites cheering on Florida. Glad yall lost to us when it mattered
There's absolutely no way that this was in any way shape or form a penalty. There's zero hockey fans on this planet at any age that can honestly say that this is a penalty. Wow...like wtf.
Rule 625 | Interference Interference is defined as when a player uses their body (“pick” or “block”) to impede the progress of an opponent (non-puck carrier) with no effort to play the puck, maintain normal foot speed or maintain an established skating lane.
Every time a Florida player gets TOUCHED they have to get in a scrum ,when will the NHLwake up and take that bull shit out of the game.you confront you got 1 game automatic. They go on and on .Florida makes . Reilly got 5 games Bennet got nothing
Florida plays like a spoiled junior A team in the OHL. A bunch of spoiled cry babies. "Dont hit me. Or I will fight you". The next time Toronto plays Florida they should have Reeves, Clifford, and another bad dude in the lineup. Let's see how Florida reacts.
This happens 100 times a night and players dont get hurt. He lost his edge and fell hard into the boards. Not at all letangs fault. And i hate the pengs so
We could potentially call this: Kris Letangs unluckiest shift
No that was last game when he put a puck in his own net
If I was Letang I would ask for a trade. Wow the Cap does not even fight for ya.
@bobnewfart7630 I think they're just trying to focus on getting into the playoffs not fighting 🤣🤣
@@penshockey5474 Good luck with that hahahahahaahahahaha
Florida should have never even been mad to begin with.
Bennet should have a hearing for that cross check. That was intent to injure.
He'll just end up getting a fine instead 😂.
He's a dirty puke just like Cousins.
Only if Lebitch gets a suspension for that slewfoot
@@tkdmike9345 what slew foot are you talking about bro? I hate Letang and even I can see that he just bumped Barkov
It's hockey, not golf you charmin soft bog roll yout
No ill intent at all and 58 handled the aftermath with class. took the crosscheck and the punch, didn't play dirty back to them and got the powerplays.
Thought the refs did a good job of clamping down on known thugs like Sam Bennett and telling Tkahuck to get back to the bench.

Well you might not be a Pens fan or a Panthers fan but you clearly are blind.
@@Lindeni i thought they just came together letang wasn't even really looking at barkov
@@Lindeni There was contact, but after watching it several times they barely touched each other and there was no intent there.
@@Lindeniquestion is, are you
There was a minor bump, but that’s all. It wouldn’t have bothered me, so, yeah, lost an edge or something.
Any other time Letang makes this kind of contact , the opposing player is not going down like that. In my opinion its a lost edge play.
he didn't lose an edge just got off balance, slipped and fell. happens all the time on skates
But didn't you hear the commentator? Letang smoked Barkov!
@@HeadedEast yeah I play myself and it’s the same thing for me, either way I’m on my ass on the ice regardless if I’m touched or not, lol!

thinnest skinned team in NHL
watch is again man Barkov is on 1 foot when letang pushes him no shit he goes flying especially when it is illegal and unexpected contact
lol letang literally hitted barkov to that board
Florida really needs to give it a rest...considering the cheap shot artists on the Panthers,Tkachuk,Cousins,etc...
Even as a Flyer fan im willing to say Letang did nothing to Barkov.
Exactly what Letang excels in… doing nothing.
Yup, he’s only lifted the cup three times. Oh wait, that’s more than the whole Flyers organization in their entire greasy history.
Also super stoked to see Letang stand up for himself after taking way to many cheap shots afterwards.
This happened with Hischeir and Barkov last year. Minor contact. And the Panthers just get mad at nothing. Barkov is fragile.
Panthers play a team game so they stick up for each other. They made the cup final from that.
Agreed on Barkov though, softer than warm butter on fresh toast.
Everybody do the Florida Flop 🎶

It’s NHL hockey, not pee wee soccer. Panthers play the way every fan wishes their team would play….physical and sticking up for teammates.
Although true, the Panthers are the only team, currently, that always get away with the dirty bs. Any other team and it's called every single time.

Strange. Barkov was 20 feet past the puck and offside. Looked like he was going to the bench out the wrong door.
are you blind? the hit was well before the blue line. nice exaggeration
Florida is the dirtiest team in the league 😭
And I love it
Cry harder. We ain't going anywhere except to the Finals
Aged well. Hope you enjoyed the golf in May and June.
I think the lady hockey league has tougher hits,
I am by far a fan of Letang but I have to side with him on this one. The panthers love wearing clown shoes and playing the victim. What a flop!
Have you ever known Barkov to flop? He's probably the most honest player in the league today.
Barkov has a Lady Byng. This dude just doesn’t watch hockey that much if he’s gonna claim Barkov is a flopper.
Hey we won and you’ll be watching hockey after April, so thanks for the 2 points
F**k off Barkov is not that type of player at all.
It’s called embellishment! Or a FLOP!
Notice, this is Penguins commentary
Barkov falls over like a person with skates on for the first time, lies like a tart, milking the penalty! This is a 2 mins for tripping!
Milking the penalty and walk straight to the locker room. We have a Einstein here!
Barkov tried the Florida Flop and hurt himself. The Panthers are the biggest punch of cheap punks in the NHL.
weak ass contact knocked the guy down, his fault

As a bruins fan I have never been too fond of the pens, but this does put a smile on my face, what a guy letang
Just like the bruins losing to these Panthers put a smile on everyone’s face. What a choke job
Panthers are quickly becoming as soft as the canucks just not as talented
You mean the one and done Bruins? The historic playoff collapse Bruins? Those Bruins?
It's no wonder why I do not like the Panthers. It's too bad we can't have them play the Flyers from the 70s. They would really have something to cry about then.
When I heard them say 5-minute penalty my jaw dropped. The dude literally just fell into the boards
Just that they can review it

And wins the cup like a little baby.
Cry little more. :D
Anyone who’s ever watched hockey properly can see it’s a lost edge. Even the commentators sound like that know nothing about the play
The Florida GOONS at it again!
Dirtiest team with the dirtiest coach
Announcers should get their eyes checked.....they shoulding be calling hockey ..ping pong maybe more their style...
These refs are so garbage. And Florida, jumping and screaming for a slight touch? Lmao wow!
Hurricanes dont destroy Florida. Letang detroys florida . What a stud .
Barkov has the Florida weakness, wind takes h8m out 😂😂😂😂
Finnish hockey)))))))))
2:09 Tkachuk sure picked an inappropriate time to start dancing to YMCA.
Would these commentators be saying the same thing if it was Crosby on the ice??
Can't speak for these commentators, but most of the league said the same things when Crosby got chicken wing'd by Steckel and was out for about 100 games. Arguably decreased what is already one of the most legendary player's legacy by quite a lot, to the point where Crosby could be pushing for an 1800 point career.
Of course when you have as important guy like Barkov on your team, his teammates protects him. It's hockey, im not saying this was a dirty, its physical sport.
Neither of those calls should have been a penalty. Letang's stick grazed Barkov's knee and all of a sudden both his feet fly into the air. Then Letang and Barkov casually brush each other and Barkov flings himself into the boards and then smacks his head on the ice. I can't believe they reviewed that second call and still issued a penalty. Absurd. They should give Barkov a breathalyzer because he looked like a wobbly drunk on that shift.
Penguin-hating Flyers fan here, but I think the "trip" was a dive and the "interference" was coincidental contact. Brutal reffing.
I cannot believe this sequence of events. Bush league by the Panthers
They won a NHL hockey game.
You blind?
Florida Panthers are currently the dirtiest team in the league. Im surprised no1 speared or crosschecked bennett back in the face.
His time is coming brother just wait
That’d 100% be a penalty.. in a no contact beer league 😭 😭
The Florida Panthers are a bunch of pylons. Half of them can't play hockey so they just go full MMA. What a joke of a team.
Panthers just entered round 2 of the playoffs. And the overrated Penguins are irrelevant
@@jonsvehla8085 little late, bud. Panthers still pylons.
@@jaymac2515 Pylons in the playoffs. Pens golfing
They living rent free in your head. 🤷♂️
2 min for tripping and 2 min for being the player that didn't fall down. However, no penalty for Shitchuck for his asshat activity. "The referees are no dummies" ... Uh -- give Matthew a penalty for his bullshit and maybe you get control of the game. But the referees are dummies so they lost control.
Нхл как и кхл это уже не спорт,а бизнес
Bunch these panthers should take the demotion to the PWHL. I heard they have a hard time filling more than the first row, tho. grow a set panthers, it's hockey, not ping pong..
I can't believe that as a red wings fan I actually have to side with the pens on this one 🤦🏻♂️
Bro, fuck both those teams. You love to see this!
"Smokes" apparently is barely touching with an elbow. Jesus how soft.
I’ll never understand people who play the Penguins.
In situations like this, just go after Crosby ….
The hit on Barkov looks like accidental contact with a horrible outcome, the shit the Panthers did afterwards was absolutely uncalled for. Fine Maurice and the Panthers an amount that actually means something and don't throw the book, throw the entire fucking library at the Panthers players who went after Letang, and this is coming from someone who has Pittsburgh in their bottom 5 teams for cheering.
go watch figure skating, Sally
lol Letang had eye contact with barkov the entire time. No reason to even touch him in the first place.
@@lxreedyxl4605go smoke meth, inbred.
@@lxreedyxl4605it's hilarious how you think the "hit" from Letang was a hit at all. Maybe barkovs dumb eurotrash ass should learn how to skate before playing in the big leagues. Because this "bump" is something that happens hundreds of times a night.
Which is funny because you tell the other guy to go watch figure skating.. calling him soft. What a hypocrite. Too many lobotomites cheering on Florida. Glad yall lost to us when it mattered
There's absolutely no way that this was in any way shape or form a penalty.
There's zero hockey fans on this planet at any age that can honestly say that this is a penalty. Wow...like wtf.
2 minutes for tripping 5 and a game for unsportsmanlike conduct
Rule 625 | Interference
Interference is defined as when a player uses their body (“pick” or “block”) to impede the progress of an opponent (non-puck carrier) with no effort to play the puck, maintain normal foot speed or maintain an established skating lane.
Florida vs Pittsburgh always good game they always go at each other
Sam Bennett is so dirty
Reffing 101 how to secure your over/under
Panthers pissed because Barkov can't skate.
Pens pissed because they only have 4 defencemen on the team and they are not making the playoffs until they suck it up and rebuild
This is managements fault ,so tired of watching the Pens being pushed around or punched in the face . Pens needed Corry Perry and did not get him !
Bravo Kristopher!
Sam Bennet is the dirtiest player on the ice. He should be kicked out from the NHL.
Every time a Florida player gets TOUCHED they have to get in a scrum ,when will the NHLwake up and take that bull shit out of the game.you confront you got 1 game automatic. They go on and on .Florida makes . Reilly got 5 games Bennet got nothing
Letang will for ever be a ass... , he have hurt many players
What in the actual puck?! Horrible officiating
That's the NHL refs for ya
& the refs 2:00 for tripping. The other kind.
GO Panthers Go. They don’t take crap..Da Champs!!!!
Barkov is the softest player I have ever witnessed
The Panthers team is filled with gutless hot heads. Cousins, Tkatchuk, and Bennett.
Florida plays like a spoiled junior A team in the OHL. A bunch of spoiled cry babies. "Dont hit me. Or I will fight you". The next time Toronto plays Florida they should have Reeves, Clifford, and another bad dude in the lineup. Let's see how Florida reacts.
This happens 100 times a night and players dont get hurt. He lost his edge and fell hard into the boards. Not at all letangs fault. And i hate the pengs so
He lost an edge because he was pushed by letang, so kind of his fault
@@rjhollinger then he needs to learn how to skate
3:12 Most stupid reaction. He caused 4 min power play for Florida.
Panthers are quick becoming a team to root against….
Overrated Penguins Lose.
Ok
Copy and paste
Correct call
C'mon Barkov. You're stronger on your skates than that.
See the Hischier play that injured him last year. Made of glass
Not a Pens or Cats fan, but the only true infraction was Letang’s tripping Rodrigues. Cats are a good team but emotionally immature and undisciplined.
