Post-Game Talk: Rangers Kings game 2

[Blueshirt Believer]

The Rangers simply are not good enough up the middle to win this series. The are not good up the middle offensively or defensively.

You have to buy out Richards. You have to make a decision between Step/Nash on who you want to build around on that line.

 

[GFiP*]

I hope none of you never spend another second or cent on the nhl. The league is a ****ing joke.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

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

As you should be. Every single Rangers fan has a right to be up in arms over that. It was a disgrace and the league should be ashamed of itself. If the league had any level of integrity, it would discipline officials who made egregious mistakes like that. The problem is that they won't. He'll be out there either next game or the game after (I forget how they do the rotation in the Cup) and continue to make horrendous calls.

The league has zero accountability with its officials. The officials union must have some insane amount of power, really. Talk about a great gig. Be horrendous at your job and never have fear of discipline. Sort of like a postal worker, I guess.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

2 non calls, 2 goals. Way to go NHL. Complete garbage.

That being said, Rangers lost their composure after they got screwed and had plenty of chances in OT. Couldn't finish and probably blew their shot.


Brad Richards was brutal to watch. You almost have to think about scratching him, he was that bad.

Time to go vomit.

 

[nevesis]

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.

So much this.

 

[BB58]

There is no way teh refs are getting away with this.

 

[KRM]

Speechless.

 

[hi]

Brad Richards post game:

“I’m certainly not going to let it ruin my Christmas and I don’t think anyone here is going to let it ruin their break, either."

 

[Holocene]

Gonna say it again: Rangers will win this series.

What makes you think this?

 

[Machinehead]

***** at the refs all you want, you can't score 4 goals and lose. Defense was abysmal yet again.

 

[MrEctions]

I HATE blaming the Refs, but they legitimately won that game for the Kings. Without the blown call on GI the Rangers win 4-3. Not calling the delay of game leads to a goal 15 seconds later. Thats 2 Blatant missed calls. Regardless, this series is over. You cant go down 0-2 to the Kings and expect to win. No chance at taking 4/5 games going forward, imo. Twas a great and unexpected run this year, and Im happy with that.

 

[gardenparty]

*******. If we get the delay of game call - and I could NOT see any evidence of a deflection on the replay - there's no way Brown scores the OT goal.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I am really looking forward to helping Richards move out of his apartment.

I wish him nothing but the worst.

 

[vippe]

That is a heartbreaking loss. We could blame the refs all night if we want because they clearly messed this game up. But in the end.. the Rangers had PLENTY of chances to kill this game in OT but didnt find a way.

for game 3:
- Stop with the giveaways! Gave the Kings two goals tonight that should not have happend. Keep it simple
- Limit Richards time.. He was utter useless tonight.
- Practice PP god damnit. It's so so so bad

Luck will come, Kings luck will expire both these games could have been won.. I am sure it will turn around at some point.

 

[PBarrz]

That officiating was absolutely ****ing disgusting..... seriously.... ****ing done with the NHL, I wish there was a more efficient way to vent my rage at the shame that was tonight's officiating.

 

[Riverdale]

You have to buy out Richards. You have to make a decision between Step/Nash on who you want to build around on that line.

This is the real problem with this team.

And it is NOT going away.

 

[AHB*]

***** at the refs all you want, you can't score 4 goals and lose. Defense was abysmal yet again.

You think the refs were fine and you're a Richards supporter. ENuff said.

 

[The Gloaming]

not to mention at least 3 or 4 picks the refs set for the kings for grade a scoring chances....it almost looked intentional it was so ridiculous.

And don't even get me started with those ******** icings they called where the Rangers were a foot ahead of the LA players. Ridiculous that such incompetent morons get to officiate and decide a Stanley Cup Final game.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Tortorella caught a lot of flack for benching Richards. He has been ****. He deserved to bench then and deserves it NOW.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Painful as it gets. Never blame the refs but that's a sham.

Also, Richards is done.

Forget about Richards, what about Nash. He looks shot.

 

[bl02]

Richards is the culprit. He does not belong on the ice. Everyone else in blue can keep up with the Kings and battle. He is always 3 steps behind...Joke. Losing faceoffs when they matter most.

 

[Raspewtin]

The stupid ****ing god damn piece of ****ing **** referees do their stupid god damn ****ing jobs and we win this ****ing game. **** this we need to be better ****ing ********. We were very good tonight.

 

[Chimpradamus]

What a bush league. If four refs are this bad, they need eight refs on the ice, but I guess that would mean infinite incompetence. Wes McCauley, Dan O'Halloran, Derek Amell and Brad Kovachik should be booed for 60 minutes straight at the Garden. Three of the Kings goals tonight never should have happened if they were good at their so called "pro" job. That's pathetic.

 

[The Pope*]

This is a shame... How many blown calls??? Maybe they should do an "Avery" and shoot at the stripes...
This needs to be shouted how may times are the refs going to "Munson" us???

 

[Dalagaze]

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

I agree. This one hurts, a lot, but there's a ton of hockey left to be played.
