Post-Game Talk: Rangers Kings game 2

[rdhstlr23]

**** blaming the refs. They had 1000 chances to win this game and blew them all, starting with the PP.

They choked.

This.

The officials didn't help but Richards, Kreider, and Zuccarello had chances they should have buried.

But that no call definitely swung things...

 

[Ghost of jas]

You know, I don't mind losing. I don't.

I don't mind losing when the game is called fair and the refs don't influence the outcome. If we lost 5-4 and it was a legitimate loss, I'd just say suck it up and go and win the next two.

You really can't take the league seriously, though, when it lets the officials influence the game time and time again. It's disgraceful.

It's been exhausting...LA has not held a lead for a single minute in this series. This whole season has been a gutpunch from the joke that is NHL officiating.

 

[Sayba]

Staal was much better tonight, Richards was brutal but not really a surprise. Kreider/Nash couldn't finish. Refs really killed us tonight.

 

[NYRangersJets]

I just realized that there are nine skaters on the ice wearing black and white vs. five* wearing blue. No wonder it's been so difficult to pull out a victory.

You KNEW when they botched the delay of game that the Kings would score in the next minute.




*Four when Richards has a shift.

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[Fitzy]

I usually have something to say; unfortunately, not tonight.

We'll fight on, but this is a kick in the groin. Sorry mates.

 

[Jabroni]

Agreed. Feel like we got this one taken away from us. Still pissed at that non call.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Anybody saying the Rangers "need to find a way" are out to lunch.

Rangers won this in regulation 4-3 if the refs do their jobs, and the Kings aren't in the position to score the two goals they did if the refs do their jobs.

The officiating team choked.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Pens went down 2-0 in 09. Bruins went down 2-0 in 2011. It was never going to be easy.

Stuff like this! Game 3 !!! Nothing is lost, nothing is won.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Terrible, pain full etc....
This is a deep hole we have dug but we must have faith, faith in our team faith in our Lord Jesus chri.....ah **** it....this series is over.

 

[Parker]

Kreider could have scored on the breakaway or put in Nash's rebound.

Zuccarello could have buried the wraparound instead of mailing it over the net.

Game should have never even gone to OT without the borderline third goal by the Kings.. but the Rangers had chances to put this one away and didn't.

 

[NoMoreRusselCrowin4u]

I know that it's very easy to blame the officiating, and that it's just kind of what I do when we have such a sour loss, but I've never felt more justified about it.

I hope Dan O'Halloran and Co. are literally decapitated, and that from now on the videos from the Dept. of player safety are hosted by just their severed heads stacked on top of one another from now on.

Oh, and that we win game 3.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Seriously, I would tolerate a 5-1 loss over this **** any day.

Same. I have zero issue losing. I have an issue with getting cheated out of calls like that that influence the game. It's amateur hour at best on the biggest stage in hockey. There's simply no excuse for this kind of performance from supposed professionals.

 

[JJJAAAMMM]

well, rangers have yet to trail this series, yet they are down 2-0. WTF?

 

[NewLife]

Hockey is a currupt piece of **** game. Why even care.

 

[Cake or Death]

Gonna say it again: Rangers will win this series.

I fully agree with you. It's only a matter of whether they do it in 6 or 7.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Gonna say it again: Rangers will win this series.

Oh you

 

[aufheben]

that non call goalie interference is gonna haunt me for the rest of my life.

This is gonna become our version of Hull '99

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'd like to blame the Rangers for losing this game but I just can't. They played real well, can't do anything about awful refs.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

that sucks.

Richards - sheesh.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Absolutely devastated.

Non call on the LA's 3rd goal allows them to come back, completely changed the momentum.

They score the winner right after a blown call, should've been delay of game, instead LA scores 30 seconds later.

It's just devastating.

 

[LottieDottie]

i have to believe richards is doing this stuff on purpose

 

[gmerger37]

Gonna say it again: Rangers will win this series.

I wont count this team out because the last time i did they came back from down 3-1 but i just feel so defeated. It feels over because we had two games that we could have easily won especially this last one, but we got nothing to show for it

 

[DearDiary]

Penguins fans checking in. You guys deserved to win tonight.

Disappointing when reffing decides that the other team should win

 

[MisterUnspoken]

That game was utter bs. I can't even believe how lucky the Kings are.... not even that great of a team. The Rangers need to man up and play their best game of the year going forward. Otherwise this is looking like an absolute sweep.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

How did we choke scored 4 goals and their last three goals shouldn't have happened. Are we supposed to score 7 goals like we did in game 1 in montreal?

Refs blew big time but that game was STILL completely in the Rangers control and they blew it. Kreider x2, Zucc miss in OT. Every single PP. Terrible play on Gabby's goal by the entire team.
