The Inside of Fleury's Glove is All-White




So that begs the question, what is that black thing floating behind the goal line underneath it? I think it might have been the puck. The Caps got robbed by the Pens again.

check out this link of his glove with a dark spot on the outside: http://www.picturesdepot.com/hockey/206630/marc-andre+fleury+of+the+penguins.html

You know what I think about this call but just because the inside of his glove is all white doesn't mean the outside is. And that's what we saw.

The glove is all white, it was a goal. Its an extra point for the Pens in the standings, one less for the Caps, and really not a big deal in the long run. The point is that the refs have been doing this for years for the Pens at the expense of the Caps, no matter if it is a meaningless December matchup, or a decisive game in the playoffs. Its incredibly frustrating as a Caps fan, and if my team was receiving these benefits time after time, I would find it incredibly demeaning. If I thought my team was the best on the ice that day, I would want them to show it, not have it given to them by the refs over and over. The only positive spin as a Caps fan is it makes the games more exciting, because even when we have the better team, every win is an upset.
