GDT: ECQF Game 2 : New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG, TNT - Series (PIT 1-0)

[CLW]

Overall, this is not the way to play the Penguins. They have no problem with the way the game is shaping up. Zib, Kreider and Panarin have to lead the way they can't be this anonymous and/or outright error prone.

It feels like we are losing despite it being 1-1.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers have been on the PP for what, 20 seconds? in 7 periods of play. That's hilarious. I hate blaming the refs but you'd think by accident they'd have more than 1 PP.

 

[robertocarlos]

Nah.

OK but the former Jets only play good when they are happy. Copp must have hated Winnipeg.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

The Nemeth call was bullshit, but I don't think either of the plays at the end of the period should have been penalties against Pittsburgh either.

I rewatched and have to agree. Could easily have given Rodriguez a trip though. Put his lower leg right behind Shesty's.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Copp is signing with the Jets next season. That's because you can't afford him. Maybe we'll trade you Scheifele, 55, we call him Chef.

We can afford 5 mil per.

 

[Machinehead]

LMAO I'm gonna miss Bill when this series is over

 

[Cournoyer12]

Man this tilt is reminiscent of Rangers-Flyers mid-seventies! Mayhem.

 

[Richard Banger]

After you take your head out of your behind....you're gonna ask someone to read this to you.....and after they slow down enough that you understand....you will realize this is accurate. Coaches get calls in all sports using the media.

Well that’s just incorrect.

 

[Unpredictable1]

GG just called Crosby a piece of shit

Huh? Where/when was this?

 

[nevesis]

Absolute horseshit. I’m not into conspiracies, but the refs legitimately need to be looked at.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I tried to be the level-headed one about the officiating but I'm actually pissed now

It's just so blatant, it's laughable. Not at all opposed to Jim Dolan controlling the NYR official twitter for the next 24 hours if this one ends in a loss.

I'll be boycotting games 3 and 4 as well.

 

[Richard Banger]

Top guys are way too invisible. Don’t have enough depth for them to go ghost mode right now.

 

[Cmox]

Huh? Where/when was this?

When the period ended.

 

[rangers1314]

The 93 line is eating their balls again.

 

[ThirdEye]

Absolute horseshit. I’m not into conspiracies, but the refs legitimately need to be looked at.

You mean by the people giving the orders?

 

[smoneil]

you think ripping the refs and pissing them off publicly will help matters?

Honestly, it might. They're already calling the game absurdly one sided. Mildly whining about the refs won't help, but if he goes full on "Sportscenter" highlight rant, pointing out all the issues, full on accusing them of trying to gift the Pens "one last run" with Sid and Geno, etc--it might draw enough scrutiny to the series that they need to tighten up a bit. The one thing the league HATES is to be embarrassed. GG would get suspended and fined, but...

 

[Harbour Dog]

If you call the Nemeth one a penalty you have to call the other ones too. Thats the legit definition of bias

I dunno. Nemeth's love tap was nowhere near the puck. As long as ZBad never got hit in the face there, then it's just a hard play on the puck carrier. And Fox fell down on his own.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Kreider is letting me down rn. Feels bad.

 

[BBKers]

Vatrano not up to this it looks like

 

[CasusBelli]

I tried to be the level-headed one about the officiating but I'm actually pissed now

It’s not even disguised. It’s nearly as loud when refs “miss” a call as when the Rangers score. It’s pathetic.

 

[CLW]

Overcorrection from us. Too much respect for the penguins. Need to start springing a winger into the neutral zone and flipping the puck for foot races. The pens are pressuring us real low in the zone.

They are pressuring low because the Rangers D suck at moving the puck fast. It's been a known issue since Calgary (H) in early October...

 

[Richard Banger]

Absolute horseshit. I’m not into conspiracies, but the refs legitimately need to be looked at.

It’s not a conspiracy when a ref already got exposed for doing questionable things.

 

[smoneil]

No. , don’t need to be dirty. Just f***ing hit him. And hard. And keep doing it. Don’t do anything dirty, but make those hits and follow through with them.

If Penguins have a prob with that they can fight Reaves

Is Dubinsky officially retired yet? Can we sign him as an assistant coach just to put him on the bench and piss off Crosby?

 

[EdJovanovski]

I rewatched and have to agree. Could easily have given Rodriguez a trip though. Put his lower leg right behind Shesty's.

Should’ve got 5 mins, a game misconduct and suspension for slewfooting
