GDT: #2 - 10/07/17 | RANGERS @ leafs | 7:00 - MSG PART II

[Jaromir Jagr]

That call on Hayes was horrendous and the Leafs had multiple times with worse slashes or holds. To call something on the Rangers this late after not having an equalizer is unacceptable.

 

[Machinehead]

Lot of high scoring games in the first few all around the NHL. Anyone making outrageous statements about any team and how good/bad they will be (minus Vegas and a select few others) need to relax. The sample size is just way too small at this point. It's still very early.

Not only do D and goaltending take more time to settle in than offense, the refs are still on their "literally any contact is a penalty" experiment.

Haven't gotten into our rhythm at even strength.

 

[NCRanger]

Not for nothing, the officiating here in the Third has been pretty pro-Toronto...

 

[mrmovies779]

Shattenkirk has been a train wreck when he has the puck and isnt shooting it.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I still don’t understand: why do players protest penalty calls, if they’re not reviewable?

More about the future. Bitching a ton, mentioning why you think the ref got it wrong, may get the ref to swallow the whistle next time there's a similar situation. And it does happen frequently in sports if you get enough complaining to the refs.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Five goals, and we're not finishing?

Is this the new standard?

Damn...

we continue to miss chances

last night it was a shit show of missed chances.

we got 5 thats good, but the difference in this game has been our inability to finish good scoring chances.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Get f***ed Hayes

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Merde

 

[LaffyTaffy]

HAYES OH MY GOD

 

[nevesis]

Hayes, you are f***ing trash. Kadri just made you look like the doofus you are.

 

[CasusBelli]

The wheels on the bus go round and round ...

Until they fall off.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Hayes sucks.

 

[mike14]

Good to see we are still dreadful 6 on 5.

 

[Drew4u]

Hayes sucks.

 

[aufheben]

Damn...

This "can't finish" is another common NHL trope, e.g. "Backup Hasek". The Rangers are, and have been, one of the best finishing teams in the NHL for several years now. If not the best.

 

[Ail]

Ah yes, that sweet salt in the wound goal.

 

[Avery16]

Well, at least I can feel better for Hank now

 

[Kakko]

I still don’t understand: why do players protest penalty calls, if they’re not reviewable?

Instinct. And as long as you don't say anything really dumb, there's no rule against it, so there's no real downside.

And, while it's incredibly rare, penalties have gotten overturned, although I doubt it was the result of players complaining.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Hate to be that guy but what does a package of Hayes + Vesey + Holden get us?

 

[Machinehead]

Hayes stood there playing with his toes while Kadri crossed the royal road.

Keep putting him on the PK, Alain.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

I still say:

Nick Holden to the Flames for Curtis Lazar and Hunter Shinkaruk

Uh no thanks

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

We got this!

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This new hooking rule is atrocious and is detrimental to the game

 

[CasusBelli]

More about the future. Bitching a ton, mentioning why you think the ref got it wrong, may get the ref to swallow the whistle next time there's a similar situation. And it does happen frequently in sports if you get enough complaining to the refs.

Perhaps; I just wonder if it doesn’t just irritate the refs instead and. “He can’t be a pain in the ass from the penalty box ...”

Lots of teams miss chances. We aren't scoring on all of our big chances.
