You guys have a clear path to the Cup honestly.
You guys can handle Boston or Florida. And I feel like you guys would match up the best with Dallas vs the speed of the Oilers or Vancouver.
But I am firmly on this playoff bandwagon. Don’t get scared and stressed at the adversity, coming through that adversity makes the wins that much better.

Someone told the refs they blew the delay of game call, and they made it up.Personally I'm not interested in rehashing whether the call on Staal was fair or not. The Canes lost the game and the series and nothing is going to change that now. Teams and fanbases are always thinking and feeling they've been cheated when calls go against them. I'm sure Canes fans have felt that thousands of times already and Rangers fans for having their team around longer maybe a million times by now. It's only natural to piss and moan after you lose but if in the other case you get the call and you win it's just time to move on to the next thing. That's the way it goes. Sucks to be them.
The last time I listened to Scott’s podcast was a couple of years ago when he declared Laf and Kakko busts and said that the Rangers should dump them both for whatever they could get while they still had at least some value.Boucher sounded impressed by the Rangers comeback win and gave them full credit. Jon Scott pissed me off on his podcast, saying Carolina gave the game away and we did nothing to earn it. He can f*** off.
If you wanna say Carolina blew this game, sure, why not?Boucher sounded impressed by the Rangers comeback win and gave them full credit. Jon Scott pissed me off on his podcast, saying Carolina gave the game away and we did nothing to earn it. He can f*** off.
Don't know if you are being sarcastic, but I think that's exactly what happened.Someone told the refs they blew the delay of game call, and they made it up.
This is how it was called in most leagues I played. A shove is with your hands. A cross-check is with your stick. There’s no overlap.Just my opinion, but I've always believed crosschecking should be called like high-sticking. You either did or you didn't. I don't care how hard it was.
I never subscribed to "that's just a shove." A shove with a perpendicular stick is a crosscheck.
Holy moly rewatching the goals. Orlov was brutal on 1st and 4th goals. On the Tro deflection goal, the initial shot was blocked and Orlov had the puck but instead of flipping it out, he tried to hit Svechnikov with a soft pass to spring him for a shorthanded rush, and it went straight to Panarin who shot it immediately because Andersen was so out of position. On the Kreider tap-in, he was puck watching the whole time and wasn't even marking Kreider.
You're right. Man on man coverage, and Orlov had Zibanejad all the way. Kreider was Chatfield's responsibility and he just wasn't paying attention.Orlov was covering Zibanejad at the far side of the net. Chatfield was supposed to have Kreider.
Now of course you could say Orlov should have gotten a stick in on Kreider but he might have been worried about the puck coming all the way through where Zibanejad would have also had a grade A scoring chance.
e: that first one was an awful giveaway though
I'm like you for BrodzinskiHe's made numerous plays like that throughout the year, it's just that nobody was ever there to pound it in. Hey, I'm not saying he's Paul Coffey, but he's not as bad as many feel here. Man, I hate having to defend him, but somebody has to.
Does anyone have Sam's call on Kreider's first and second goals? Of course, the third goal was the wildest, but I want to hear the buildup of hope/"is this really happening?" in Sam's voice.
Can we keep you or make a trade? I'm sure Machinehead can broker a deal for one of our posters.
