What no bold predictions from Kreider.
When is he due back in the line up anyways?

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Rags shot the puck clear over the glass with a few minutes left in a tie game, got no call and their fans are actually complaining about the refs.

 

[Zerotonine]

Still brings me to tears how much Carolina underperformed last round. Hockey experts and odds makers still in shambles over it. Tough scene.

Carolina similar to oilers only go as far there goaltending will take them. Unfortunately goaltending is both there Achilles.

Pretty sure he was out of the defensive zone. If you want to discuss outrageous no-calls going NYR's way, I'm just going to point and laugh at the sequence early in the third when three different Rangers players flat out tackled three Panthers and then sat on them. It looked like a post-whistle scrum.

 

[Catscountry40]

What is amazing in the twitter verse is the amount of Bruins' still trying about Florida and the officials.

Florida broke them. Their entire existence is just crying at the moon about "Florida was very mean to us and we are original 6.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

awesome series.

 

[Osakahaus]

the only 2 fanbases I can't stand are Carolina and New Jersey. keep the chirps coming.

it's going to be a low scoring series that's for sure, and I expect the Rangers to regroup. if they lose tomorrow they're in trouble. tomorrow is very telling.

thanks man

 

[Outl4w]

Great series. I'm still saying panthers take it.

 

[sattar18]

Gotta love HFboards where one game and the entire narrative of a series changes from a Cup winner to feel like you’re drafting first overall lol.

Great series tho - first game was a bit of a snoozer as both teams got their feet wet but the rest have been great. NBA playoffs were significantly outpacing the NHL but the conference finals have brought it back closer to even.

He was very clearly not in the D zone. This is an odd hill to die on. Officiating has been blatently one sided here.

Wow if ratings are close to the NBA that is great news…..

They were even until the OT call which was warranted.

The blowing smoke screens of bias is real.

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

Rangers should be happy. They could have lost 4 straight, as in every game, Florida was the dominant team!

Florida should be happy. They could easily have lost last night, and been down 3-1. The way the Rangers have been winning feels like destiny.

Awesome series though!

Rags fans whining about the refs, as if that's something new .

 

[Bradely]

IMO, and sadly, the best team won yesterday. Ranger were flat out bad in the 2, 3 and OT. Goaltending is the only reason it was not a blowout. I hate Florida, hope Rangers come out hard next game... but if Florida gets a bit of puck luck, and carry the play as they did, contrary at what I thought they will move on.
Rangers top 6 are playing bad.... for the exception of Lafrenière.

Alot of fan group complain about ref. Not just Rags fan.

Definitely didn’t mean it as metric lol - more so from a game by game/series by series enjoyment factor.

 

[PaulD]

Is there a captain in the NHL with less skill than Trouba?

 

[bigdog16]

Penalties were 6-2 last game lol. Show me one playoff game in the past 5 years with that discrepancy.

I'd say Anders Lee but at least he's not trying to elbow everyone in sight

This. How can rag fans cry about the officiating?

Here are two from this playoffs alone, lol. Back to back, both against the officials' darlings, the Panthers. Get over it.

I love that people hate Florida. Team was a joke due to horrific former ownership, now we’re a top team and have haters because of that. Our owners are the best.

I haven’t looked it up to see if you’re correct, but Mo isn’t telling the guys to score 6 goals here. This was last year.

I’ll give you the first one, the second one is 5-2 unless you count a penalty that happens after the games over.

There were 2 very obvious penalties on Mika and Kakko at the end of the 3rd period that werent called. Both were textbook penalties that you literally can’t argue and they let both go.

If you think they should have called a penalty in the last second of the game as Kakko stepped on Ekblad's stick and fell over like a grade A redact, then I don't even know what to tell you. We're simply going to have to agree to disagree.
