Being a Senators fan I am probably a bit biased, but I think most can plainly see they are not even trying to hide their attempts of forcing a Pittsburgh victory.  Mike Fisher’s 4-minute minor for getting cross checked in the back of the head tonight was a perfect example of this.  I can’t find a great video of it now.  Here is one from VS that doesn’t show the proper angle and the announcers do a poor job of trying to dismiss it as a blatant high stick and Fleury “protecting his crease”.
