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.

And im sure you think Gustafsons scrum in front of the net was an obvious penalty too right?

 

[Laus723]

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.

And at the beginning of the 3rd where 3 rangers tackled 3 different Panthers?? Barkov seemed to have been tripped behind the goal, there's missed calls all over, it's the playoffs.

 

[CanePanther]

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

With all due respect then how to they measure enjoyment factors ?

Try again. Ekblad took his stick and tripped Kakko with it - Kakko didn't step on it

 

[Beezeral]

Ekblad's stick never moves. Kakko tried to cut to the middle and steps on the blade of Ekblad's stick.

And for the "Refs only ignore penalties on the Panthers" crowd.

It was prison rules in the 3rd period. Everything was getting let go.

 

[StrangeVision]

I, for one, am happy that the NHL has decided to support the Florida Panthers, it's nice to see the game tilt in our favor. I hope they continue to work against the rest of the NHL and I will continue to enjoy being the beneficiary of the NHL's pro-Panthers conspiracy. Go Cats! NHL <3

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Trouba not being suspended is a huge break for Florida.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1795655612061380685

I wasn't joking

 

[Ugene Magic]

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

Rangers were 1 for 3 and the Panthers were 2 for 4.

Rangers 2 - Panthers 3

Ok, but what about the take down of Mika just seconds earlier?

And for the "Refs only ignore penalties on the Panthers" crowd.

LMAO prison rules until OT...

 

[JianYang]

This mentality of "we deserved to win" when outchancing a team does sit right with me.

Its as if fans want the goalies to be the exact same robots on each end of the ice, and if one is standing on his head, then some sort of injustice is happening.

So you are angry that they called a tripping penalty that took away a breakaway for the best player on the ice? Come on now...

I still don't see Rempe do anything wrong in that clip. I assume they meant Wheeler?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Ranges were better in games 1 and 2 at home, but Florida was better in games 3 and 4 at their stadium. The series being tied at 2-2 is probably fair.

 

[T REX]

It's hard to generate penatlies when your team never has puck possession. Agree?

At the end of the day, the score trumps everything else.

Chucky does it like nobody else in the league.

 

[Ratsreign]

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.

O6 fanbases just have a different sense of entitlement

Think puck was in neutral zone when it was shot over glass

 

[kingsholygrail]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1795854877236543964

It didn't get to a fan? That's a shame. I imagined him signing the mouthguard.

 

[Ratsreign]

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.

“nothing to see here...”......
meanwhile, 30 seconds later,
“Those damm Panthers can do whatever they want!!”

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

They are setting the standard, though.
Hey, At least gives the Bs fans a goal to shoot for

 

[Ratsreign]

They were even until the OT call which was warranted.

The blowing smoke screens of bias is real.

“Hair of the dog” theory. After a night over indulging in whine, the best thing to do the next day is to start it off with more whine. Gets your head right, you know.

 

[Beezeral]

I still don't see Rempe do anything wrong in that clip. I assume they meant Wheeler?

You don't see a two handed chop from behind that prevents OEL from a clean puck pick up? It's literally right in the center of the screen.

 

[Grifter3511]

So u mean wheeler. Yes. I see that. I don't see rempe doing it as the poster states is the culprit.

Edit: just shows how much Rempe is in everyone's head. Guy who makes the post can't get the player right, and even when I question it you still assume it's Rempe.

And there were very obvious penalties on the Rangers early in the third, but no call. Did you see those, or do you have selective vision?
The Giants will be using the tape of that shift to show their boys the proper way to tackle

 

[TD Charlie]

Such a humbling experience here as a Bruins fan. I don't really hate the Panthers, there's just the whole "I wish it was me" thing going on there. Then again if my team is gonna get bounced it probably doesn't sting as bad if they get bounced by the team that goes on to win the whole thing.

Something just feels right about this Florida team. There's plenty of skill front to back, plenty of guys that play rough, and there's also a weird aura about them that I just can't put my finger on.

The way they limit scoring chances, and just attack with wave after wave all night is impressive as hell. There's not much that is super flashy about them, they just go about their business.
