Team who have the puck less tend to take more penalties. Teams that have the puck more tend to take less penalties. This is not a new phenomenon. I expect the discrepancy in penalties to continue based off how the series has played out thus far.

Was the same in our series versus Boston

Probably should be 3-1 but this is why they play the games. Need a W in game 5.

It’s felt like that the last two games. Rangers need to play better or they will be staying at the beach on Sat.

I just want to say thank you to Chris Kreider for snatching Tkachuk's mouthgard and throwing it away that was beautiful

Thank him for all the points he is putting up while you’re at it

 

[ColbyChaos]

Rangers fans crying about the refs is pure cope. Be mad that your mid ass forwards are once again not showing up and leaving their goalie out to dry. It’s the Hank era all over again

reminds me of when Willie Mitchell was Florida's captain, then Dereck Mackenzie.

Yea like that. Trouba as captain of Rangers similar to those plumbers

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

Good call

 

[Devonator]

Nice call Nostradamas what do you see going forward ?
GO CATS !

Well I have to confess I am not sure about either side....Florida has been the better team but NY Goaltending is enough to possible give them this series.....

Not sure if I like that answer. So game 5 goes to the Rangers …the pressure is on Nostradamus game 5 what’s your call ?

I’m gonna tell ya one thing that the playoffs take a toll on your mind and your body. Igor is human and Bob is a veteran and the Panthers have been through the wars. The Panthers were a beaten down team by the time they got to the Cup last year they are better off this year I think experiencing that gives them a huge advantage down the stretch.

 

[Gentle Man]

Imagine getting completely dominated last night and blaming refs! LOL

stop posting and sign your extension with florida already

 

[The Crypto Guy]

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

Yikes, you should probably learn the basic rules.

 

[Osakahaus]

Yikes, you should probably learn the basic rules.

The basic rules also dont apply to rangers fans when they yell bloody murder over that final call on Kakko at the end of the game

 

[albator71]

Its baaaack!

Come on man, look at him why even have a mouthgard anyway?? Look at that thing

 

[Saitama]

Ok so what’s the crystal ball say for Thursday night ?

You.....quoted yourself and asked yourself a question? I see you haven't answered yourself yet. You should probably @ yourself to see if you plan on replying to yourself!

Rangers have them just where they need them. Home ice advantage best of three.

 

[robertocarlos]

Whomever is in net for the Oilers needs to be fired into the sun.

My dad passed away in January, he lived in Florida. Was a big Rangers fan and a big Panthers fan, was a season ticket holder. He'd love to see them facing each other. I grew up going to some Panthers games and have no hate for them, was cheering them on last playoffs. They're the only other NHl jersey I own besides the Rangers. All I want to see is a fairly reffed and played series. So far the series is being mostly fairly played, not so much on the reffing side. But it's the NHL and I know i shouldn't expect much or to see a series like this and be able to just enjoy it

 

[PBPantherfan]

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


LMAO prison rules until OT...

Did you not see Miller laying on Bennett and holding him down for about 10 seconds?

Taking lomberg out helps here.. he and Bennet get offensive Zone penalties

There was quite a bit of holding on that play.. lotsa pancaking

 

[robertocarlos]

I think their equipment got tied up.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Yeah he got his glove stuck on the helmet as he had him in a headlock, lol, unfortunate... can't get loose ref!

The hand wringing about the refs is such a lazy excuse. This series has not been decided by the zebras. At all.

 

[Felidae]

Good analysis of the past 2 games in the series.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

How healthy is Florida right now? The Rangers blueline has taken several hits but I still expect Shesterkin to drag this to a game 7.
