It’s the same Ref from the Islander game I believe.

Hunt's first shift he comes in hard on the fore check, one bolt cross checks him. 5 seconds later while their pinned on the boards another bolt blatently takes his hand off his stick and yanks Hunt's jersey right in front of the ref. No call.

I knew right then it was the same ref and sure enough I was right.
 
Sorry, the referee blows that puck dead under Shesterkin 99/100 times.

f*** you Dave Jackson “I love that call” I’m sure you do you clown, you’re a former NHL ref - you all suck.
I really don't have a problem with it. Just because they do doesn't mean they should. It was thr right call. If anything I have a problem with the players leaving Shesterkin out to dry without knowing where the puck was. They did nothing.

Strome is going to wind up playing in Russia, book it. No idea how that would work but I'm sure he can find a way to smuggle himself in.
 
On one of the replays, ref not only skates closer to Shesty, he's actually raising his hand to blow the whistle.

If that wasn't an attempt to blow the whistle, then I don't know what is.
For sure. It was a questionable call but I’m just saying it wasn’t clearly wrong. Or actually it was closer to right than wrong I’d say. The non-calls last game, though, were truly nauseating.
 
Drury isn’t keeping Strome. I’d actually be shocked if he did
Yeah. I think there was talk of the rangers letting him walk a couple of summers ago, right? Strome resuscitated his status on the team since then but I think he has reverted to floater and the FO knows it. I have vacillated between ‘sign him for cheap’ and ‘let him walk’. But I’m squarely in the Walk camp.
 
The league doesn't have a vendetta against NYR (or maybe they do).maybe the rangers can be the team getting the non-calls there way? Maybe they should try that. 5-5 their last 10. Getting mediocre. Not good.
 
You noticed Point right away from puck drop. What have Zibs or Panarin done so far? Fox? They need to turn it up

Hunt and Goodrow with our best scoring chances. Shocking end
 
I’m actually impressed with the rangers today. I assumed that Tampa with their new addition and the comforting knowledge that further trades for them are unlikely, would run us out the barn. The rangers players probably have one eye on their notifications.

The front office has been trying to trade him literally every summer he’s been here and each time they realize “oh this guy isn’t worth much, may as well keep him”

No chance he’s back next season
 
You wonder if Vatrano is depressed seeing what Florida is doing and their eyes on the prize and now he’s rooming with Greg mcHunt
