Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[Boris Zubov]

I actually think the ref seeing if the puck is frozen would be a really hard thing in real time for any of us.

It’s easy for us when we get a million replays, and aren’t watching the game from the ice.

You have to come close to the net, but you also want to try and stay out of the play area if you think the puck is loose if you’re the ref.

That's fair, but I thought the play was dead when the whistle is blown, loose puck or not? Shouldn't be open to interpretation on a case by case basis. Last night, no goal in Tampa, today good goal in Miami. Same play different outcomes. It's a clown show.

History. Obviously I’m being a Rangers homer and don’t have the data but still.

How many times have 50/50 goalie interference, intent to blow the whistle, or kicking the puck into the net calls gone our way?

How does it always seem to go in favor of a Boston or Toronto?

It's weird cause every fanbase thinks this way.

That’s strange, I had Panthers game on mute today, didn’t realize they blew it dead, and then awarded the goal.

An injured Canes team showed killer instinct today. The Rangers better do the same thing tomorrow or they're in trouble.

Did they show killer instinct in game 3 when they were up 2-0 in the series and lost 5-1?

Blew it dead clearly before the puck went in & then adamantly waved it off as if to say "I blew the whistle".

I know we'll never get this, but I would consider paying for a secondary audio channel where you just have no announcers and listen to sound in the building.

Bo Horvat 8 more years

That's 8 straight Cups!

 

[17futurecap]

Okay Panthers

 

[Megustaelhockey]

That's 8 straight Cups!

I had a dream the Rangers were a dynasty.

But that same dream had me with an 8 pack and a vault full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Beautiful goal by Tkachuk.

A few times during the playoffs in '21 on NBC, the announcers mics weren't working, but the crowd mics were on. It was glorious.

the mouthguard chewer is some player. What hands.

Tkachuk has been horrible in this series.

He's exhausted from carrying his team for the last 3-4 months of the season game in and game out

That's probably true, but he's been really struggling before the goal today.

They're missing 3 top 6 forwards and on the road. We're healthy and at home.

 

[The Gloaming]

Tkachuk is too easy to take off the ice with his doing something stupid but that goal was sick. He should make sure he's actually available to play for his team.

 

[The Gloaming]

Barkov has been named in 'most underrated' threads for so long that he has now become massively overrated. Most unimpressive playoff player. Where the f*** even is he? If that's a top 10 center in the league, then the league has a dearth of talent.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Florida has one period to make this a series.

Matty just leveled the Rat! Edit it was Pasta

No dice. Looks like another team will have to do the job.

 

[Boris Zubov]

And so much for the comeback. The Garbage Pail Kid with a slick deflection.

Yea but that didn't prevent them from winning handily today. So the same team showed killer instinct today but not in game 3? I think that killer instinct angle is overplayed. Sometimes it has to do with a desperate opponent who happens to be really good also.

The Devils didn't even play that well yesterday. We failed to take advantage of our opportunities. Something that has been a staple of this franchise for decades.

Wow, they never gave up on that PP.
