Post-Game Talk: Canadiens @ Rangers: "These refs suck"

[Machinehead]

The Rangers just need to start running into each other at the blue line to draw calls. If it works for Montreal, it will work for us.

Not only did that end a powerplay it negated a breakaway.

 

[NewLife]

Let the Isles taste the frustration tomorrow.

 

[void]

Montreal typical

We got called 6 times... You guys got called 7 times. Pretty even, I'd say. Horrible officiating overall.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

We deserved to win that.

Budaj stole it and the refs helped him.

Budaj was incredible. Anyone saying the team sucked tonight didn't watch the game.

Were there mistakes? Yes. But as a whole, we outplayed Montreal (even with the ******** reffing) and Budaj played out of his mind. Props to him because I can safely say I have never seen him play that well in any time throughout his career. That's a career game for him and good for him.

But **** all of the ******** in this game.

 

[JohnC]

I want a video of the Kreider "penalty"

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Blame is on the officials all you guys want. It's a pathetic and temporary excuse.

We ****ing suck. They every bit deserved to lose tonight. Montreal has a ****ing horrible lineup right now and they outplayed us everywhere on the ice.

Some of these players get paid millions of dollars to churn out an absolutely awful product.

**** every single player on this team.

this team is not very skilled.. AV had skilled teams in the past... AV is struggling with a team that is not very skilled. i believe this is the least skilled team that AV has coached in the last 10 years.

 

[Matt4776]

What I'm wondering is why are Montreal fans coming to our board to try and defend the refs.

This isn't the main board.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Shut out by Peter Budaj on home ice lmao. This is why I want a rebuild. This team blows.

 

[Championship*]

The following excuse has now been retired for the 2013-2014 season:

"They haven't even played a home game yet!"

It will now join "It's only preseason" and "It's only the first few games"

Nothing like getting shutout in your home opener. If anybody didn't see this game coming down broadway in a mack truck it's time to get your eyes checked.

 

[pld459666]

and the Refs did not cost us this game. When you score ZERO goals, the Refs didn't cost you the game.

 

[silverfish]

Montreal typical

Some weird ass calls in that game. At least the refs were consistent in their terribleness.

Love the way Kreider looks. Miller finally showed some flashes, but I still don't think he's ready. Huge mis-step by Fast and Pyatt on the Habs first goal. Bad miscommunication on that play.

I think Hagelin is going to inject a lot of life into this lineup tomorrow.

Would love:

Hagelin - Stepan - Richards
Kreider - Brassard - Zuccarello
Pouliot - Boyle - Miller
DD - Moore - Fast/Mashinter

This should be the moment when AV FINALLY gets off the Pyatt train. No need for him tomorrow. Play Mash if you think we need some more physicality for what will surely be a tough game.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

When you can't score one single ****ing goal against a back up goalie in your home opener you don't deserve to win. Stop *****ing about the refs what are you guys 12?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

We deserved to win that.

Budaj stole it and the refs helped him.

The Rangers didn't deserve to win anything in that game. They were slightly better along the boards at times. But the Rangers neutralized their own work by being idiots with the puck. No awareness, poor positioning and terrible decisions.

 

[trilobyte]

Regardless of whether anyone wants to hear it or not, Budaj played a great game tonight. Just because you are officially a backup does not preclude having a great game, which he surely, definitely did.

 

[Dalagaze]

The officiating in this league is ****ing pathetic.


All I'm saying about this one.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

We got called 6 times... You guys got called 7 times. Pretty even, I'd say.

What Montreal penalty was the equivalent of the Kreider phantom call? The Moore phantom call? The Boyle phantom call?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Wouldn't say we sucked, would just say this team is severely lacking in offensive skill. Defense and goaltending were great. Forwards were pretty pathetic, on the whole.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Calls were absolute **** but we got shutout by Peter Budaj. Just awful.

What is it with this team and Montreal?

 

[Championship*]

And complaining about the refs is useless. They were bad, but they didn't turn Budaj into a god. The Rangers just aren't very good. At all.

 

[dmjt4160]

Tough lost. Played fairly well overall, we didn't generate a ton but it was enough that we should have been able to score a couple.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

2013-2014 Team Motto: Excuses

 

[LeetchisGod]

This team has no goal scorers in the lineup. Sadly I think we'll be out of it before Nash and Callahan come back.

This.

 

[JCrusher*]

this team is not very skilled.. AV had skilled teams in the past... AV is struggling with a team that is not very skilled. i believe this is the least skilled team that AV has coached in the last 10 years.

To be fair he is missing 3 top 6 players. Stepan who was suppose to be the 1 Center loooks like the oldest 23 year old i have seen

 

[Kane One]

We got called 6 times... You guys got called 7 times. Pretty even, I'd say. Horrible officiating overall.

You're assuming every call was just as bad, when they clearly weren't from our POV.
