Forget the refs. We simply weren't good enough.

But there's plenty to build on and plenty of time left and plenty of home ice left. We're gonna tie the series.
 
Yes the bettman refs you might say took the game from us. Don't really know what the deal is with that. But, blowing 2 goal leads is not the refs fault. It's ours. One will argue we wouldn't of blown those game 2 leads if it wasn't for terrible officiating. Nevertheless we did. We need to come home and buckle the **** down. Kings have come back from the impossible. We proved they are not in any way above us or a superior team against us. If they can do it against ahm and chi then certainly we can as well. We have a good team. We need to act like one. Let's take the next 2 at home and we have a best of 3 left. Am I disappointed, yes. Did I loose my faith, no. This team proved they could hang with the best of them which LA is. Stop with the Richards bashing and nash. Nash is not scoring but playing excellent defensively. Richards also playing good hockey with the exception of some unfortunate circumstances. Stop *****ing and let's start playing. I personally think we should be up 2-0 or at least 1-1. I don't think it takes a genius to know mon and wed are
Mandatory. I'm not sure. Maybe a messier speech?
 
Richards is Brutal, so frustrated with his play tonight....also disappointed with the Nash-Step-Kreider, they had their chances but for **** sakes they have to score when these games have been so close and 1 goal makes all the difference.
 
Wow...talk about arrogant L.A. fans. They are STILL saying that "the REAL cup final was against Chicago" after barely escaping BOTH the first 2 games by the skin of their teeth and with lots of help from the refs.

And they are bragging about winning the series in 4 games.

Makes me sick the lack of respect they give the Rangers. Instead of saying "we were wrong, you guys have a great team" they are sticking with there "east coast hockey is garbage" schtick.

That burns me more than actually losing these first 2 games. :shakehead

Again, no.

We went to double OT with one of the best teams in the league ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF THE REFEREES INCOMPETENCE.

We were good enough. And we got ****ing jobbed.

Yeah we got jobbed.

This one hurt. Maybe the worst loss I ever experienced...

It does speaks volumes, about LAK, that "all" LAK needed to get back in this one was -- one -- bad call though. Lets be honest about that. The ref's decided the outcome of this, yes. But LAK also does a heck of a good job getting in front of our net and making pucks end up in the back of the net.

People will say stupid ****.

On another note, last night was just devastating. I'm sorry but I've zero hope we can climb back into this series. I for some reason had hope against PIT. Here? Nope, blowing consecutive 2 goal leads on the road will come back to bite us in the ass. I can't see this series going more than 5 games. I'd like to be able to say differently, but I'm not. Sorry.

Oh, I agree. LAK can score goals easy. That's why it's not a matter of the Rangers choking, though. If the Kings didn't get away with a clear interference we have a 4-2 lead for longer than 2 minutes into the 3rd period and very possibly win. That's why the ref ****ing up was so monumental.

That's rich, considering it took the refs help to get them the win. Without the refs help we finish that game in regulation.
 
What I find too incredible, too utterly mind-boggling, too unbelievable etc etc to properly convey in words is that a team that has not led for a single second of the series can be up 2 - 0. Not one second! It's insane!

I don't know what that shows. The Rangers are having a lot of bad luck for sure. We haven't dominated in the slightest but we really should be 2 - 0 up ourselves. The team has lacked that extra effort to put them over the top. LA aren't beating the Rangers as much as the Rangers (and the league) are beating themselves.

It's so so frustrating to watch these (seemingly) solid leads wither and disappear.
 
Kings became the first team in NHL history to lead a SCF 2-0 when never having a lead in either game fml

I hate them so much. They were just so insufferable when I attended game one. I would easily say they are almost as bad as philly. They just seem so illiterate too, they can only chant Rangers suck or Go Kings Go like mindless robots. It's funny because if the Lakers were in the playoffs these morons wouldn't realize hockey was even played in the Staples Center
 
I think the worst part about that goalie interference is that Pouliout got called for less earlier in the game on a play that didn't involve a goal. I'd love to get a video of that play. I just don't understand how you can call Pouliout and let the 2nd one goal when it led to a goal. I am glad I didn't stay up for that last night, I would have broken something.

lol@barry melrose on sportscenter saying "there may have been a little contact" really?

jfc this league and its media coverage is a ****ing joke.

Well I mean NBC's whole crew were either Islander, Philly or Devils management/players and Melrose coached the Kings. We get no love from any of them. I mean Quintal is head of player safety. I think that in itself is sums it up quite nicely.

It was more than just one bad call! The forth goal was a direct result of the delay of game that should have been called! This is a giant screw job anyway you look at it, and as far as I'm concerned, it was stolen from us! Not by a better team, because quite frankly, we have been the better team for 6 of 8 periods, but by horrible officiating! People need to start calling it out or it will never change!
 
Well it's the morning after. We've already seen our obituaries back in the Penguins series. The Rangers now have to prove just how resilient they can be.

You don't get this far without being lucky. Whether it's bad calls, bounces or goalposts--a healthy team--they all play a part in winning. In this series we have not been on the right side of luck at the right time. In this series when the Rangers foot has been on a gas pedal we've done really well. When we've let up--not so hot.

It's unfortunate for us. We could just as easily be up 2-0 as the Kings but it's not over until you lose 4 games.

I will say I didn't like the call on the King goal. It completely changed the momentum of the game and O'Halloran's explanation to Lundqvist--seems more like a justification so he wouldn't have to admit he made a mistake. It's one thing to look at this from a fan's perspective. It breathed life into the Kings and may have got Lundqvist off his game and AV off his focus as well as he was *****ing and *****ing about it. Kind of like the game we lost to the Canadiens after the Prust hit. The team lost focus and lost the game.
 
This is not over!
LA has not had a lead a single time in this series, and the Rangers have forced both game to overtime on their ice. This could easily have been a 2-0 series to NY. Hagelin´s breakaway at the end of the third in game 1 could (and should) have won it, and Zucc and Kreider had great chances to win it in OT last night.

Some unfortunate bounces, and a couple of bad calls from the refs have made it difficult, but if the Rangers keep this game up, they can win the next 2 in MSG.

Win the next 2 and make it a best of 3.

The shot into the crowd was the only clear miss by the refs and assuming a Rangers goal on the ensuing penalty is possible but very far from a given.

The goalie interference was a tough call and I'm not sure what the right call is there. I do know that if it it was a Ranger in the Kings crease that didn't get called, no one here would have thought it was interference and would have been incredulous at another fan base suggesting that it was.

Complaining about hybrid icing is weaker than the whining of the Montreal fans.

They blew a 2 goal lead for the second game in a row. They committed some horrendous defensive gaffes. McDonagh and Kreider particularly sucked at crunch time on the Gaborik goal. McDonagh's play there was as bad as Girardi in Game 1. Everyone here bellowed about Girardi. Where is the similar outrage for McDonagh? That wasn't the refs.

The Rangers **** the bed two games in a row. Want to be mad, be mad at them.

And it is tiring reading posts claiming they will never watch hockey again, like any idiot believes that.
