GDT: ECSF: Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, ESPN

[trilobyte]

i mean, Trochek would be my rangers candidate, he has been crazy good at these playoffs, not just 5+5 in 6 games
how he has played, been amazing

He's been my favourite Rangers player from the start of the season.

rags are f***ing diving cowards

cry more

Don’t do it to a guy off balance in the middle of the neutral zone with the ref staring right at it

Players are supposed to be able to predict referee incompetence now? Is that the game you want?

 

[Tawnos]

So clear that there are equal opinions on both sides and not just by those with a horse in the race. Very subjective call, could go either way. Only thing that matter is it was called

It’s what Ferraro said. In the corner that’s probably not a penalty, but when it could create an odd man rush the other way, it is a penalty.

Should it be that way? Maybe not, but that’s the kind of discretion that I think is good for the refs to employ.

 

[clmetsfan]

You don’t sell it when you are off balance he got right back up and yes it is a cross check. A weak call for OT but they missed the Hurricanes slashing a stick in half and a trip into the boards. They can’t rely on never getting penalties called for them. There special teams is to blame not the refs.

You also don't sell it in such a dangerous area of the ice. Trochek is obviously a lot smarter than that.

 

[Rsswmu]

Nope. It was a cross push.

Ok even if I give that to you. Are you cool with the slash to the stick that broke it in half in front of the crease on a cross crease pass and the trip into the boards that when uncalled. The Hurricanes got there fair share of calls and just have been abysmal on special teams. They can’t get every call.

Two hands on stick, slamming said stick into someone’s mid section = cross check every day of the week, Skjei is an idiot for doing that in open ice

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Simple: Skjei cant make that kind of play at that location. Penalty had to be called.

 

[TheNumber4]

I don’t think there was a dive on that last penalty. But there was also not a trip and not a cross check.

Just typical shit reffing by NHL.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Ref who made that call should be fired. Hope Rod gives him shit post game.

I'm sure he will, the crybaby that he is.

 

[Three On Zero]

Simple: Skjei cant make that kind of play at that location. Penalty had to be called.

He really forced the refs hand, it’s was a blatant open ice cross check.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Rod needs to take a page out of Keefe’s play book and complain about the officiating after losing in a game where they went 0-5 on the power play.

That strategy is reserved for early golfers.

 

[2014nyr]

Referees 4 - Hurricanes 3

dang the refs even scored 2 5 on 5 goals? annnnnd they managed to stop the car pp 5 times? just put em in the hall

 

[BB79]

NHL and the NBA want an all NYR / BOS ECF and a NYK/ BOS ECF

Coincidence?!?

ESPN and TNT having both finals in the same spot ?!?

Get the tin foil hats out folks

You already got yours on I see

Can you imagine the ice surface in those two arenas?

I do.

Love to see it

Watch people’s minds explode

I’d have to watch the plays in question. But I guarantee you that last call was a
Trash call.

 

[Charlie Conway]

He's 30 years old coming off a career high in points.....

Plus I'd say his game is based more on intensity and IQ as opposed to speed or things that might traditionally decline with age.

He's a smart player with a good work ethic, and he's a bit of an agitator, too.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Can you imagine the ice surface in those two arenas?

June - humid - POOOP

 

[benedictTavares]

You can't do that in open ice in double OT. Canes did not lose this game because of the Refs they lost it because Igor played very very very well.

 

[BB79]

I do.

Love to see it

Watch people’s minds explode

LOL Props for the creative low key trolling

 

[Captain Lindy]

Trash call.

If it was a trash call, fine, then be more motivated to kill it off. Carolina could not. Rangers took advantage. End of story.

 

[trilobyte]

You already got yours on I see

And his may be just a tad too tight...

 

[qwertyaas]

He's been my favourite Rangers player from the start of the season.

Hated him when we played the Canes couple years back. He's just so versatile on the ice.

Although he had a massive off night on faceoffs.

 

[robertocarlos]

Rangers Boston would be good. Winner plays Dallas or the Avs.
