Look I know people are pissed, not trying to troll, but the Rangers also caught breaks in OT.

Williams' penalty was definitely embellished by Nash, and Stepan got away with a blatant uncalled high stick on M Richards in 2OT.

How do you compare an interference call in the crease with a guy sitting on the goaltender while the puck is shot into an open net to an obstruction call on a puck shot in the corner...please

The issue there is that our defense except McD are incapable of "bombing away." I have never seen a group of defensemen that have so much trouble getting pucks on net. Inaccurate ****ing gorillas.

Don't disagree. Especially apparent with Stralman refusing to one-time a great set up by Stepan. Need to blast away there.

It's a mindset that needs to be beaten into our dmen, especially when we don't have that pure heavy shot from the blue line.
 
The Rangers did have plenty of chances to win this game after the non-goal interference call. They had a few power play chances in OT that were completely botched (big contribution from Richards on that), Kreider had a few chances, etc.

But they way they lost this game was terrible. That non-call was just brutal. Had they not called Pouliot for the same thing earlier in the game, that's one thing, but they did. It was inconsistent. Also, the missed delay of game penalty where they didn't even get together to talk about it right before the Kings scored in OT was pretty bad.

Rangers outplayed the Kings in this game and still lost. Two winnable games and down 0-2.

I do not want to lose to the Kings of all teams.

The NHL needs to set a precent that missed calls like that won't be tolerated. There needs to be some accountability. If a referee is going to miss a call that directly effects the outcome of a game in the SCF, the referee needs to be fired. Don't care about his reputation or his experience. Referees need to know that blatant missed calls like that on the biggest stage will not be tolerated.

Never happen if the NHL has an agenda.

Here's what I wrote:

Hey, you know what? **** you. That's right. Dan O'Fat**** cost the Rangers the game and quite possibly the series by having the eyesight and the IQ of a potato. Actually, disregard that. Very offensive to the potato.

Do you know what Goalie Interference is? I'll explain, since your dumbasses don't seem to understand. Goalie interference is when the offensive player physically prevents the goaltender from making the save. If the goaltender is impeded from making a a save, and the puck goes in, guess what? You waive it off. That's right. Now I know that waiving off a goal that wasn't scored by the Rangers seems immoral, but don't worry. There's nothing in the NHL rulebook that says that non-Rangers goals aren't allowed to be waived off. They are.

And to the linesmen, please learn what hybrid icing is. Hybrid icing is all about who would have gotten to the puck first. When a player is going faster than the defender, AND is ahead of the defender, you waive the icing off. Maybe tell your two idiot linesmen from Game 2 of the 2014 SCF to learn what hybrid icing is.

And lastly, it would be really cool if you guys would just once, admit that you ****ed up. Never do I hear an apology to the team you screwed over. Just keep going like nothing happened. Congrats on being the worst you can possibly be at your job.

It didn't hit the glass.

Even Pierre and Eddie could see it didn't.

Just another example of the officials making whatever calls they feel like regardless of what the actual rules are.

When they used the NBCITEE whatever cam, you could see the puck go from Martinez's stick, directly over the glass. Doesn't hit Boyle, his stick or the glass.

Then LA scores 30 seconds later. It's just so depressing.

Consider this. Scott Driscoll who has a part in the "embellishment" calls against the flyers, decided he really needed to hug Carcillo and was looking right at Prust when the laid out Stepan and said nothing, was picked to ref in the finals. Thats all you need to know about ref accountability.
 
I have to wonder, you think were ****ing pissed? I wonder how some of the players feel? I know Henrik will have a strong word or two... and maybe the players don't come out and admit it to the public, because they're professionals, and they know they should have overcame the bad calls, but losing like this has to be some sort of motivation? They know they can win. The team in this years playoff run has been all about doing the improbable.... I hope they use this as motivation to crush the Kings (and the refs) in 4 straight.
 
I don't know how you could have this game without on ice officials. It's just the level of competence is not there. I'd venture to guess at least half of the leagues on ice officials are in their forties--maybe a few even in their fifties. Some can't keep up. From one crew to the next calls are all over the map. You really never know what you're going to get after the puck is dropped to start the game. It could be almost anything.

And there are a few that seem to have agendas. Von Hellemond hated on us for years after he ****ed up a call in the playoffs involving Kovalev--against the Quebec Nordiques. The league punished him for it and then he punished the Rangers. Devils fans--demented as they are could recite chapter and verse how the officials had it in for them after the altercation between their coach at the time Jim Schoenfeld and referee Don Koharski. You can watch the final minutes of the final game of our 94 cup win--Collins the linesman is inventing all kinds of icing calls against us. Steve Larmer is just screaming at him.

That's my only hope at this point.
 
Well, I just want to respect HFBoard rules. We can't wish injury on him here. So he needs a Twitter so I can tell him I hope he (MOD: use your imagination, lol)

I said something similar to Chris Coghlan once. He responded. There were many lulz.

The part that hurts the most is that the majority of people haven't given us a snowball's chance in hell, and regardless of how we lost as far as they're concerned we're only proving them right.

Depressing when haters win.
