Post-Game Talk: Ice Pigeon

[LiveLongandProspal]

Can't wait until that franchise goes into obscurity post Crosbaby and Malkin era.

The arena was pretty empty for the first 10 minutes. There were loads of Rangers fans there.

This game was fixed, that's the only way I can understand that missed call on Zibanejad. The worst non-call I've seen all season.

+ Carter cross check. This game should become a prime example when they train new refs what a fixed game / game management looks like.

I could go back a ways for myself, IMO

I really don't know what I just witnessed.

Jarry Shesterkined us.

Did not know that Crosby led the league in even-strength points.

 

[Boris Zubov]

This is true but I would rather lose to these assholes than the assholes we play Thursday.

I can't differentiate.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Rangers were the better team in what I thought would be a much tougher game. Pens looked bad for most of this game. Period.

Sleep it off, beat the Isles and all is forgiven.

Reminds me of the first game we lost to them last year.

 

[hackeyman]

No one's ever beaten two teams in the same game.

Well it's tough when one of the teams count the score.

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

And the 3 stars of the game !

McCauley, MacDougall, and the linesman that kept throwing Zib out of Ozone faceoffs?

 

[zlev]

lmfao literally all sports have shitty officiating. you think it’s unique to hockey? I’d argue hockey has some of the best officiating tbh.

yeah at least it's not fixed like the NFL

 

[Off Sides]

Rangers have no idea how to manage their game around the game management of the refs.

 

[ohbaby]

That onetimer by Zibad, Jarry had his eyes closed. They got lucky.

It was a good game. Playoff type game.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

why does it matter if the penalties were called? not like we were scoring on a PP anyway.

you knew when we hit all those posts, dominated the game for long stretches but didn’t score that we were gonna lose. Our special teams failed us this game, plain and simple

Because obvious penalties need to be called. Cmon man. They should have had a 6 on 4.

Rangers have no idea how to manage their game around the game management of the refs.

How exactly do you do that when obvious penalties are not called?

 

[Kords]

If it's any consolation, even Pens fans seem to think the Refs bailed them out and are giving Fox his props.

Also Fire Lindy is trending again so it could always be worse.

Alas, twas a good streak whilst it lasted...

 

[Hire Sather]

That loss hurt. Once they tied it it felt like an avalanche at the end of the period.

Ugh

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why does Lindgren sound like a basic chick?

 

[chosen]

It's not the eleventh or twelfth reason either. I actually find officiating notably worse in the NBA and MLB.

Yeah, like the refs are any better in football or basketball.

It sure is nice to see a teams 1 and 2 OA picks secure a win with some big goals.

They're generational players.

Ugh

When the ice started tilting the Penguins way and Blais took that penalty I went nuts. You just can't have it, especially from a guy that contributes absolutely nothing.

Personally, I've never been able to stand Carter since he pulled that crap demanding a trade from Columbus. Mad you got traded to a bad team, and refuse to play? He can F right off. No negative history with ownership or the fans, that's bush league, and it's even more infuriating it got him a cup (lowercase C for that BS).

I've wanted him to get concussed until his career was over after that ever since. He fits right in on the Penguins since they're the team I despise most in the league.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Pens fan here. I don't usually go on other team's boards so sorry if that annoys y'all but I just wanted to say Adam Fox is special. I usually just focus on what the Pens do but Adam Fox sticks out (in a good way) every time these two teams play.

That kid is seriously special. He could have had like 5 points tonight if you guys had better finish. He has jaw droppingly good poise.

Good game. I hope we don't meet you again in the playoffs because these games are stressful lol

Are the Penguins related to the Commanders? Was looking past the trip on Zibanejad some sort of retribution against New York?

But I won't be a sore loser. Jarry played out of his mind and Crosby looks like the Crosby of old.

 

[Gurglesons]

Typical refs not wanting to influence the game by influencing the game.

Absolute horseshit. NHL and NFL officiating are the absolute worst. You never know what's a penalty and what isn't and God forbid any penalties are called in the last 5 minutes like the obvious trip on Zibs. I don't know what games you watch but they are not the the same games that I watch. Every night is a travesty.

 

[DialUp]

Next time we play this team, they better be prepared to score 6+ goals.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I should just skip all regular season games against Pitt. This is not good for my ulcers.

With the NFL, it feels arbitrary, and inconsistent. With the NHL, we KNOW FOR A FACT they "manage" the game as they see fit.
