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

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I can haz powerplay?

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Larry is on the case!

 

[CasusBelli]

Kreider is letting me down rn. Feels bad.

He’s facing Letang and no PP time. Not easy.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Kreider is letting me down rn. Feels bad.

He's hesitating again. Like so many times. I don't blame him though.

 

[New York RKY]

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.

What was more egregious, Nemeth’s penalty or Crosby slashing our player in the calf in game 1?

 

[Fitzy]

I'll never understand why some people who don't throw their hat on the ice for their team's first hat trick, but do for the second.

It makes zero sense to me. You're either willing to part with the hat or not.

Nemeth's is a penalty in the regular season. That level of play outside the puck is happening all over the ice, all over the league.

 

[Unpredictable1]

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

Hop on the bus, we got room albeit a little crowded, and I'm driving.

sry, printer broke

 

[rangers1314]

It’s time to flip 24 and 77.

Crosby by a mile.

 

[tlk]

gonna post it on the main

 

[TheDirtyH]

He’s facing Letang and no PP time. Not easy.

Winning in the playoffs isnt supposed to be easy. He's not rising to the occasion rn.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

It’s time to flip 24 and 77.

From your fingers, to Galant's brain.

 

[robertocarlos]

We can afford 5 mil per.

Sounds about right. Copp has that agent who takes every dime he can get from teams.

 

[Machinehead]

This is a horrifying act of violence

 

[Jauffre]

Last thing we need is to try and sell calls. It'll just worsen the issue. Maybe Fox fell on his own. Zib might have tried selling that earlier.. but of course no close up replay. Work harder and force Pitt to take a blatant penalty, like a trip hold or hook, it's the only way.

We shouldn't need to rely on our PP in a series where we were heavily favored. But the one-sidedness in game 1 was evident.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I expected the penalties to be one sided and this is why I didn't want to play Pitt but this is honestly the worst officiating I have ever seen.

 

[mas0764]

Barclay Goodrow hurt? Or is his grit and $3.6m so important that we are playing Rooney, Reaves and Hunt over him?

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

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...

Combine that with inconsistent support from forwards and here we are. Reduced to stretch passes that either get intercepted or it's a single Ranger against 3 Pens back. Rinse, repeat, puck behind Igor.

We weren’t heavily favored in this series.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I need Gallant to do something. Switch somebody, scream at a ref, start the kid line next period...

It makes zero sense to me. You're either willing to part with the hat or not.

In Western Canada, many fans will bring an old hat they‘re comfortable parting with, in their jacket.

From what I’ve seen, the second hat is the one they’re wearing, as 2 hattricks are so rare & not expected.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Barclay Goodrow hurt? Or is his grit and $3.6m so important that we are playing Rooney, Reaves and Hunt over him?

He's obviously hurt. He wouldn't be sitting if he wasn't.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

We need Hank rinkside to squirt that f***er with a water bottle.
