None of that is relevant at all. Fact is Richards is not playing up to par and is getting important ice time which is my point.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Youre going to put the Nash call on the same level as that non goalie interference that was a huge part of this series? I cant even with that.

The Rangers bring alot of it on themselves by playing like scared pussies in the 3rd periods but the Kings are good enough where they dont need the officials handing them gifts like that. That call was a disgrace. You could call Muzzin for the trip or even a dive. Instead, they call Zucc. I dont even see how you logically call Zucc there since hes skating out of the zone and Muzzin is stationary. Its mind blowing how bad that was.

The Kings are a much better team and deserve to be where they are. Its just frustrating to see things like that after seeing what happened in game 2. This series could be completely different instead of a blow out forgone conclusion that the kings are hoisting the cup.

You must also be a Blackhawks fan

I can't even with that either

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The series in no way has been determined by the refs. However, the goalie interference in game 2 clear changed the momentum of the game and out of any sport is extremely important in hockey.

That call on Zuc is flat out embarassing and cost the team a goal. The bad calls have been in big spots.

To overcome those calls the Rangers need to stop playing like the Kings get 20 minute PP is the 3rd period.

:ugh:ugh:ugh

The Rangers are one goal away from making this a 3-2 series going back to New York. And like I've said over and over, they've put themselves in this position.

Whether that terrible call is made tonight or not, the Kings had already been dominating the action and threatened to score the game-tying goal 3-4 times in the first five minutes of the period. They had chance after chance in Game 4, too. Rangers got bailed out by some soft ice and a couple big breaks in that one. They need to be more aggressive and they need to protect leads.

If the Rangers play even one remotely decent 3rd period or protect even one two-goal lead (the refs only made one controversial call that led to a goal), then this is on the verge of a 2-2 series. The Rangers have not played Stanley Cup-caliber hockey in the 3rd period of any of these games.

Again, bad call tonight, but the way things were going, there's a decent chance this game was going to end up tied either way. Rangers were on their heels and scrambling the entire first seven minutes of the period.

I am a Rangers fan but not a blind one.

I left out one word in that sentence and it really sounded pathetic. Argue should have been in there.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Be critical when your team gets eliminated or loses the game, not when they are still playing the game

Re: The NHL Thread
 

How did Richards not get that shot off on the power play?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looked like he hesitated too much

My heart is racing. I'm sitting on a couch. How the hell do these guys do this?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Damn. Should have just been a one-timer -- looked like he had A LOT of net to shoot at. Couldn't tell if he didn't have it clean on his stick or what. If that's St. Louis, game over.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy. Shit.

No other sport compares to this. None.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Let's go rangers

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hope Peggy fucked up the delivery of the Stanley Cup again

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Got back to my hotel from Camden in time to watch the end of the game?!?! YES!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lundqvist :lol :lol

What a crazy coincidence that he dropped his water bottle and then there was something random on the ice allllll the way over in the corner of the ice after that extremely long shift that ended in an icing.

Honestly though, I love the gamesmanship in these games :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Night just keeps getting better for you :thumbsup :thumbsup

Hope you enjoyed the show! (then again, don't know how you couldn't) :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy crap, feel bad for Rags fan, hearts must have given by now

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's not exclusive to Rangers fans :lol

Can't breathe. How that McDonough shot didn't go in is beyond me. Krieder has to bury that breakaway. At least throw a move in there. Lundqvist is our Lord and Savior.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

True, but for the Rangers this is do or die and the Kings have had the most pressure, though the Rangers have had their fair amount of chances

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This game defines playoff hockey.

This is so cruel. The rewards vs heartbreak for staying up and watching this is so lopsided. I'm either going to go to bed happy to see one more game or probably crying and devastated. Fuck sports.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol sorry bud, just can't stomach the idea of the Rangers winning the Cup

Thanks, and I did! :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Weird seeing the Rangers pp not failing

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy shit, Voynov. This is just unbelievable.

I've never seen an OT go this long, despite so many legitimate scoring chances...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a blocked shot

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This is amazing

anyone else think Boyle looks like Inigo Montoya?
