Time to nut the fuck up. That showing on Sunday was a freaking abomination and I hope the boys are disgusted enough that they come out with a fire in their belly.
Will the squad show they got something between their legs? Will we score a fucking goal on home fucking ice in the fucking playoffs? Who the fuck knows, but this is the season tonight because I don't see this squad coming back from down 3-1
No word on line-ups changes yet. It's nut up or shut up time, gents.
Let's fucking go
Crowd was into it as wel.
Show them why we're the best road team in the league on Thursday
They let everything go in third, fine. I don't know how the hell you call that "hook" on Stepan in that case

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Looked like they just randomly decided they should call a penalty.
Must have played 10+ in the third. With at least 3 partners.

Conversely, Biron elbows Brendan Smith right in front of the ref and no call. He wasnt even screened. That, the fact that they let Radulov get away with the cross check in the Rangers end, his slash on Smith (blatant over the wrist) and then the pick on Girardi by Lehkonen were all easy calls that the refs decided not to call.
Have to hand it to zuc, he's taken as many hits as anyone and he still frustrates the shit out of them

I don't know how the league can turn a blind eye to that? Then again ...
It goes both ways, my theory is they remember they have a whistle at the oddest of fucking times.
Bottom line is, W.

He kicked out at Zucc and the linesman. About the most dangerous move you can make (skate blades can be more dangerous than sticks). Should be a suspension...
In the Edmonton-San Jose game Leon Draisaitl speared a San Jose player in the nether regions and got a match penalty
Despite the Montreal scumbaggery throughout, the squad kept their composure with flying colors.
What a dirty, ugly, trashy, cheap shotting, hateful team the Canadiens team is. Constant garbage from these assholes. Disgusting.
There could be lots of fights in the 3rd period
Things were bleak on Sunday, but credit to the players and the coach, the made adjustments to turn things around.
Link - ( New Window )
Yup, tanked. The Stellas were flowing.
Good atmosphere at the garden last night. At the first intermission I was worried the crowd might clam up in the second after surrendering the lead late in the first, but they came out and played with some great jump to start the second and got everyone buzzing again.
Fucking great job by the beard.
To win this thing we better get Miller or Kreider going. We ain't winning this with goals by fast and Glass in the long run.
pj you're team is a bunch of cunts.
Good game, good win for the Rangers.
1. 2nd period was possibly the most dominant period by any team this playoffs
2. Refs were fine, sure they missed some stuff, but it was both ways. I don't care if people complain about the refs anymore. I was wrong to criticize anyone for it. My apologies. I just thought it was ironic since everyone calls the Canadiens fans whiny and I couldn't find a better definition for the fans on here. But I heard it from all my Bruins fan friends on Monday night. I guess every fan base does it, so not sure why anyone singles out Montreal. they're no worse than anyone else. but whatever, keep complaining, especially in a win. I don't care.
And the Nash goalie interference call was textbook. It would be hard to find a more obvious goalie interference call. And some of you said "I can see waving off the goal, but the penalty is BS" so then you're claiming the contact was incidental? Ok, LOL. If Hank got bowled over like that I'm sure there would be no comment.
worst call was missing the too many men, it shouldn't have been a goal because of it, but reality is the Rangers had 6 men on the ice too. The linesmen whose job it is to keep track of the players was entangled with Radulov and Skjei at the blue line. So it's at least explainable how/why it happened, but I also agree the 4th ref (the 2nd linesman) should be removed from the ice.
3. Gallagher is a hell of a player, after Price and Weber possibly Montreal's most important player. The fact he's in every Rangers defenseman head is important. When you watch them go into the corner with Gallagher in pursuit or close most won't simply try and make the normal play, they'll slow play it, so either they can get a hit on gallagher or avoid one. I've been there, any time a player gets you to alter your game it's a win for that player.
On this topic, I'm kind of glad Montreal is getting this reputation (among Rangers fans at least) I don't find their play dirty or cheap, at least not one-way and forever Montreal was "just" a finesse team.
And this whole series has been without Montreal's dirtiest player Alexei Emelin.
I like they're getting "dirty" though the 4th line was better without Ott and holy hell King is so f-ing slow. I would like to see McCarron, Mitchell and Brian Flynn with Ott and King in the press box.
4. I hope Ott gets suspended, but he didn't make contact with anyone. So not sure why the rioting on here.
5. Lastly, that Weber bullet of the post late in the 3rd was maybe as hard as shot as I've seen in an hockey game. ever. I've never been afraid of anything on the ice, and I've seen teammates careers ended by taking shots off the face (in beer league hockey you need reconstructive surgery you retire - and I've seen it happen more than few times), but I'm not sure I'd want to be anywhere near the net when Weber shoots.
6. and really lastly, I've read so many fans on here hoping for/predicting Nash to be traded this off-season. He is by far the best Rangers forward, even at his age. Maybe not always a stat sheet guy anymore, but he's such a heady player with a sniper shot and almost un-matched versatility. Not a ton of players can play first line quality minutes with responsible defense, PP and PK. Nash can do all of them and do them well. If he has a flaw it's not shooting enough, but I think that of a lot of players, fans always do. I don't think the fans have any impact on what a FO does and I think the Rangers recognize Nash's value, but I'd love to see him traded just to spite their fans.
That or you and other Rangers fans watch the game as a Rangers fan and see things one way, which is understandable.
Here is an example:
NYerInMA : 4/18/2017 9:42 pm : link : reply
Now Smith gets hit with a high stick and is bleeding, play on.
Cross check to the mouth
Giants in 07 : 4/18/2017 9:42 pm : link : reply
Play on
Pish posh
whatever that even means.
so the truth is neither of those posters actually saw the play, since it was neither a high stick or a cross check that stunned Smith.
reality is when they showed the replay, Smith got hit with Byron's shoulder on contact that Smith initiated. Byron had position in front of the net and Smith skated into Byron. that's not a penalty in any hockey league, from pee-wees to the California penal.
but I'm not going to sink into a call vs call with anyone. I thought the refs were fine. Once again, not the determining factor in the outcome, but sure they missed some stuff and they will every single game. But like I said previously I was wrong to suggest anyone should stop complaining about the refs.
Good game, good win for the Rangers.

You should be embarrassed to be a fan of that team after that display of petty thuggery/cowardice, and you embarrass yourself with your justifications of it.

LOL, cowardice? a fan calling an NHL player a coward is about a gutless as going shirtless in a dome.
I have never and would never feel embarrassment about a team I like. I guess some of you take on a persona of your team. You know you feel like when they win you win. And I guess it helps with poor self esteem or emptiness in your life.
me, I realize I'm distanced and separate from the team and my well being or success/failure has nothing to do with what the team does.
They're grown men playing a sport. the day I let the actions or play of a group of grown men I have zero connection to effect me I become....like you I guess.
Thank god it will never happen.
well that hurts. Your wittiness is about as strong as your hockey acumen.
I was being facetious, but I'm not surprised you struggled to recognize that.
I'm out, I expect better quality replies when I check back in, but sadly for all of you it won't be until this evening.

this. What the fuck is wrong with Kreider?
You predictably defended his act by saying he didn't make contact with anyone but since you're playing a dime store psychologist, what exactly was going through his mind? Have you ever witnessed such an act at the NHL level? Who even thinks of doing that?

I didn't defend his act, I said I hope he's suspended. I cannot defend or explain his actions, nor do I care to, my comment about his not making contact spoke to the outrage. If he connected I can see being more outraged. My comment was not defending his action not even sure how that was your conclusion.
Now I'm really out.
Have a great day, feel good about the win, don't dwell on shit like missed penalties.
Didn't Nash have a concussion during the year prior to the playoffs his first two years here? I think that goes underreported when talking about his playoff performance. He's otherwise been a good player in April/May.
