ECF: Game 3 - New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 3pm ET, ABC

[Ruggs225]

Has there ever been another team to score a 9on 4 shorty? Just asking for a friend.

 

[TimeZone]

Watch a replay. Shoulder and back.

Take your own advice, about as clear head contact as it gets.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He kind of played like a bust. But now he is finally playing to his star potential. Good for him and his career.

Trocheck made Reilly Smith and Jussi Jokinen a good line. Laf and Panarin are a bit better than both.

 

[notsocommonsense]

He didn’t.

I thought he did at first too. That was a sell job and a half and credit to him, had me convinced too.

Panthers should be embarrassed. They’ve been diving all game and really all series.

I’m guessing we’re not all getting the same clips. They showed a clip on the sportsnet feed where it’s clear as day Trouba’s elbow goes into his neck and jaw

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Doesn't matter, he was about to miss a blatant elbow and went even further to elbow him.

Will be lost on your terrible rose colored eyes, though

Welcome to the playoffs. An elbow graze is fine. Just as a troy palamalu head launch by lomberg to vesey is, as is kulikov targeting wennbergs head from the blindside. All imo should be encouraged. Troubas hit was the least worst and questionable of the 3. Troubas guy at least had the puck.

Anyone, no one on the cats will do anything about it. All bark, minimal bite

 

[BMOK33]

And people were saying Lafreniere was a bust.

It was reasonable to say he was. He is not a big guy, usually the smaller guys either show it right away or not at all, its those guys who are 6'4-6'5 who rely on size who can take 3-4-5 years but I was even beginning to think he was going to be a disappointment, maybe not a full blown bust ala Daigle but maybe Pat Falloon like

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Can we talk about Lafreniere's 2nd goal? Filthy AF!

He used to be a slow skater. Kakko is still slow as f***. Fatso Kakko won't become a top 6 fwd. He has no sisu.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He kind of played like a bust. But now he is finally playing to his star potential. Good for him and his career.

Galant is mostly to blame for that. He played the same lines and the same 5 guy on the PP for the whole 2 minutes. A complete waste. There is 82 games. Give all the young guys a shot.

 

[Naych_PHX]

What did Bieska say? Something like, "He didn't hit his head just his spine"

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I’m guessing we’re not all getting the same clips. They showed a clip on the sportsnet feed where it’s clear as day Trouba’s elbow goes into his neck and jaw

Something hit a shoulder, so let the debate go on.

Love Bieksa and im almost always behind his commentary. His take on that was absurd

Daigle could play. He just had no interest in hockey.

 

[Jack Straw]

And of course no one is calling out the pathetic call on Rempe. That was some major BS!

The kittens dive more than Crosby ever did. They also clutch, grab, and interfere and never get called. Like the 2000s Devils. Pathetic!

Nice avatar

Daigle probably had a better career than Fallon. Just hyped more.

 

[Tryamw]

rodrigues didnt miss a shift. did his best to get a major out of that hit though.

Like Wennberg last game....

 

[hi]

Jagr coming back to play for the Oilers. Can't allow Bonk to keep that record

 

[T REX]

Watching but unable to post.

Great job Rangers. Hats off to you.

Win this and the Panthers are in a must win next game.

Great response.

 

[OthmannOut]

imagine being a Laf denier

 

[CrownofThornton]

Take your own advice, about as clear head contact as it gets.

You literally cherry picked the worst angle of grainy footage via Twitter post. Possibly the only angle/video that could MAYBE be misdiagnosed as being a headshot.

It was shoulder/back.

 

[behemolari]

Take your own advice, about as clear head contact as it gets.

Its clear Trouba extends his arm and hits to the neck, I don't know if Rags fan are just delusional or trolling but that's definitely both major and suspension

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Love Bieksa and im almost always behind his commentary. His take on that was absurd

His take on that was absolutely correct. Shoulder hit to shoulder which rode up under the chin. 2 minutes by NHL standards. I believe any head contact should be 5.

 

[notsocommonsense]

I think you are watching MadeupTV

The clips will all come out in the coming days, so I guess you’ll see. . . If you want to

 

[Ugene Magic]

Oh, and another thing, that should be a 5 on 3 PP. 2 men in the box.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The replay is out. You should watch it.

 

[T REX]

Goodrow is a great playoff addition.

Miss him in Tampa.
