Having to beat the refs and the Canadiens in Montreal goes back way before Bettman

Sad but true. However under Bettman it's been instituted league wide in playoff series. Not just in Montreal.

last game?

MTL 20 PIMs
NYR 8 PIMs

sure seemed like a lot of Rangers fans with their vaginas exposed in that last thread, I expect nothing less in tonight's thread.

that is just a small sample, and you hypocrites have the stones to call anyone else on the planet whiny?


there was one great post in that entire thread and i mixed it in with the whiny posts.

Be honest, you have had that post ready to go all morning waiting for the thread start.

It is actually pretty funny. But even you would admit that there were a ton of non-calls that favored the Habs.

I think there were non-calls both ways and if I gave a shit about non-calls in hockey the two hits from behind committed by the Rangers AND the blatant knee on knee leg trip that wasn't called would be a whole hell of a lot worse than the missed clutching and grabbing that happens in every game. Those are the plays the league is cracking down on from a player safety perspective.

I thought it was a fairly officiated game. It was not decided by the refs, and the PIM total of 20 to 8 should leave no Rangers fan whining about anything.

And I seriously just created that right before I posted it.

and I think you all know it's in good fun.

Nothing like playoff hockey and like many of you, my entire family is all Rangers and Yankees fans, so it's not often I get to trash talk. Only this really isn't the year for it (so far).

in the fan game thread you're not going to find it. Kinda pathetic you feel the need to copy and paste a bunch of posts you had ready to go for two days now. Fans complain about officials, get over it

You got a Canadiens fan message board? Maybe head there if you're gonna get all pissy about something literally all fan groups do. Unless it's all in French.

Either way, to quote the great Torts, "Shut your yap."

Agreed to it going both ways. I am just busting your balls, you are one of the great hockey posters on the site. It just so happens that you are a Habs fan on a board domintated by Rangers fans.

with the penalty minutes. 12 of those 20 on MTL came in the final seconds, 10 of which were the misconduct on Markov for the dirty spear he gave Nash.

If the refs were fair the Rangers would have had a 5 on 3 the entire 60 minutes.

That's is kind of what I was alluding to. Although there were missed calls on both sides, it seemed the refs missed more for the Habs.

I didn't save anything, I went to "my threads" to see threads I posted on and found the game from Wednesday and scanned for some comments I wanted to share to emphasize my point.

It took about 3 minutes, if that's pathetic, then yes I'm guilty. I've spent more time on worse things.

I don't want or expect rationality, but it doesn't mean I can't call out the irrational behavior.

Total stalker.

and 2 of the Rangers penalties were too. Still makes it 8 - 6.

Again though I don't give a shit about non-called penalties for the most part. There was nothing done by the Canadiens that was dangerous, reckless, or risking injury that wasn't called.

and lay off Markov. The guy is 38 years old. When you're 38 and still playing 1st line D in the NHL you are allowed certain transgressions. Nash didn't seem to mind (lol).

I just don't get the point. It's not like you're going to stop people.

Plus, we're right anyway!
Typical Montreal - ( New Window )

Love Lavy. His niece played on my daughters team. Wish he coahed the Habs.

His brother-in-law invited us to go to the all-star game when it was n NSH, but I couldn't go, sounded like a fun time.

I know he's slipped measurably in the past year or two, but I thought he was pretty steady Wednesday evening. Thoughts?

Oh, and I do enjoy B's Blueshirt Call to Arms before each game. 15 wins to go. LGR indeed.

I don't know if all that time off recharged his batteries or what, but he was surprisingly effective

This must be like fantasy camp for you.

was fine. dude blocks shots like he has a rubber attracting magnet on his skates.

Staal and Holden I thought were both pretty brutal and I did not think Smith played as well as most of you, thought he had a decent game, not great.

Skjei was good, needs to get more involved offensively. I like his offensive game, he's somewhat tentative still and I don't blame him.

Not close to a hockey expert but I love how Glasx gets bashed here and in Blueshirt Banter all the time. Everyone knows more than the coach. Now there's silence

playing ok last game. That's how it goes. And he brings some semblance of physicality against a team that's looking to throw its weight around at home. The goal was a huge bonus, even if a bit lucky.

One good game doesn't change that.

I always had a fondness for tough, hard-nosed speed challenged defensemen going back to Arnie Brown and Dale Rolfe. Let's get another road win and all look forward to B's MSG Game 3 exhortations!

considering how crappy they play at home. Starting on the road is a good thing for them.

Played a very good game, AV called it his best game as a Ranger, but I guess if you start to think he might be starting to play really good it gives the Ranger fans some hope, I guess that is what your out to do, discourage the excitement with criticism that you would see on any hockey thread and I'm sure the same fucking thing you do during a game, but it's easy to look at someone else other then yourself. Have fun, but understand your wasting your time, there isn't a hickey fan alive that doesn't know that Montreal gets the benefit of the doubts with the calls, and with this head coach who happens top be a dirty fuck, it makes for a very spirited watch for us Ranger fans.

Loser mentality. No one who watched that game other than Rangers fans felt Montreal got any favorable treatment from the refs. If anything, unbiased people would have to say the opposite.

A faceoff violation on a PP faceoff, LOL. Sure those Canadian refs are so going out of their way to not call shit on Montreal I can't stand it. How can the Rangers win with the refs so biased? Boo-hoo.

I don't care if you think it or not. You are entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong.

And history has zero to do with Wednesday night.

But complaining about it two days later in a game the team we root for won is silly.

Fuck the refs in the Kings series, though.

B, agree that they'll(Montreal) be firing on all cylinders in the first, but they came out smoking in the first the other night peppering Hank with 15..

Not sure they can come out any better than that..Of course, we need another big effort from Hank

I stand by my post. Very chippie play in front of Hank and around the net. Gallagher is close to Kenny Linesman in cheapshottery and smugness. And that is pretty low.

I have no issue with your opinion, I needed another quote to beef up my post.

Like I said, Gallagher is a player you like when he's on your team, I'd hate him too if I weren't a Habs fan.

He definitely plays with an edge and as a small player he's one of many in that mold and probably feels he has to play that way to succeed. I think it does take away from his offense a little, since I do think he's a skilled player, but he's involved in every scrum.

no lineup changes.

Smart, surround Galchenyuk with two skill-less players to force him to lose his last shred of confidence as well as make him pretty useless.

Might as well not offer him a contract after the season if Julien is still the coach.

Exactly - agree with you...

It'd be like putting me on a line with you and Dav, smh.

Love that one, Frank; yeah, #4 was slow as snail shit, but he was positionally solid, too slow not to be, lol. Rolfe, what was his #, 13 or 8 or maybe Arnie 8, shit I'm getting old.
Dale Rolfe kind of engulfed forwards, like an octopus, best part of his game.

and B, your game starter was Timothy Leary worthy!!

LGR Can Hank give us another like Wed?

more nervous for this one then i was for game 1. Trust in B though to bring us home up 2-0

not to take an icing or fire the puck into the netting.

Why is that not goalie interference on Gallagher?

.

Piece of shit Gallagher.

We allowed to say anything about that or no?
