Straka Can't Buy A Break

Mike Zeisberger at the Toronto Sun has this...

"If Martin Straka wanted to drown his sorrows by taking a midnight dip in the stained waters of the nearby Monongahela River last night, no one could have blamed him.

In Game 1, the veteran New York Rangers forward was sitting in the penalty box for taking a controversial interference call on Sidney Crosby when Evgeni Malkin scored the winner in a 5-4 Pittsburgh Penguins victory.

Yesterday, Straka appeared to have knotted Game 2 at 1-1 with less than five minutes to play only to have the goal waved off because the play had been blown dead by the officials."

...its too bad for Straka that he was involved with both plays. Hopefully the Hockey Gods will change his luck starting tomorrow.
