GDT: Game 18: New York Rangers @ Calgary Flames, 9pm ET, MSG (Game is tonight, 11/21, not tomorrow)

[Kravtsov420]

This might be the worst game I’ve ever seen them play, I’m not even being hyperbolic.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Tro slash/hook

Yep. Clear. And it’s 4-0 in calls so it’s even more obvious the way these games are usually called.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Hope i am wrong but this game feels like a shutout for them. It seems like Calgary is making thr perfect pass each and every time. Meanwhile we fumble constantly

Most embarrassing game I've watched in a long time

Most embarrassing performance I'm seeing in the post Greg McKegg era

 

[offdacrossbar]

too many passengers who are content going thru the motions

blow it up

 

[hackeyman]

I've known for some time how horrible the reffing in the NHL is but what gets me is how they get wrong after going to Toronto for review !

 

[effen]

Don't worry guys, it's totally fine Kevin Rooney is dangling on you. It's cool, it's cool, don't worry about it.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

That exact play is called a hand pass 9 times out of 10 in real time. They usually only let the deflection off the glove go when a player isn’t looking or has both hands in his stick and it just hits him. This guy took his hand off his stick and reached for the puck with clear intent. That’s a hand pass and the fact it wasn’t overturned is a joke.

Also they never should’ve been on the PP to begin with. Panarin didn’t slash the player on the play he literally just had his stick sitting there he didn’t even move it.

I love how year after year we never once have a team/coach that likes to make it difficult to enter our d-zone.

We give up the blue line far too easily.

Also it's always some sort of man on man hybrid thing they are trying to do, just go back to the basics and try some positional hockey

 

[mike14]

It's another poorly written rule though.
It would be easy to argue he didn't 'direct' it. The 'gain advantage' is far too vague - did they gain advantage from the defelction, or was it going to the same spot anyway?

 

[mrmovies779]

Rangers should set up a toll booth on their blue line ...make a killing

 

[JRinNYC]

So many missed opportunities..

 

[Atax]

This feels like a professional team playing practice against an amateur team. But I think an amateur team would play harder.

 

[Rempe73]

These two Russians probably thinking wtf else do I have to do here

 

[Profet]

Blue line Panarin shovel pass.

We've full on regressed to this again?

 

[gabevh3]

I’ve been watching hockey for over 30 years and I’ve never heard that interpretation of this rule.

Hockeys different here including rules

 

[will1066]

This is soft shit

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Fire Lavy, hire Montgomery?

They can bring Bowman and his 174 cups out of retirement, it’s not the coaches it’s the players and management.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

That's our captain...sadly.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Good call, dumb challenge.
Hitting the glove shoulld not be considered a 'pass'

Maybe if his hand was still on his stick...he literally lifted his arm to play the puck.

 

[Chytilmania]

Greg McKegg would have chipped that in. Cmon Jacob.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Are we really still crying about the hand pass? Are you guys actually watching the game?

 

[mike14]

Sather in the house and were back to playing Dark Agr hockey...

 

[Atax]

It’s a scary thought that Mika has been our most physical player tonight.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Why the f*** is Glen Sather hanging out in Calgary in November if he's "retired".
