Post-Game Talk: Rangers Kings game 2

[nevesis]

Wonderful.

Him and the whole ****ing team better be ****ing ready for game 3.

They were ready for this game and should have won it 4-2 if not for the refs.

Kings STILL haven't had a lead ONCE yet in the entire series. They've been ****ing ready to play.

 

[Riverdale]

Henrik is LIVID right now. Watch the interview right now...

What is he saying?

 

[AHB*]

That's one of the reasons I wanted Chicago to beat them. Their fans are a lot more bearable and losing to them wouldn't be as bad.

They also are actual hockey fans. LA is filled with a bunch of people who care more about tabloids then this sport. They had tickets for Game 1 available the day of. That's telling.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Hank should come out and be honest that there is some rigging going on.

You know what happens to people that do that, right?

 

[2Leetch_94]

This series is far from over, the Kings aren't exactly steamrolling anyone out there. You can't focus on missed calls and shoulda, coulda, woulda's. 2 games are in the books and you need to win two at home to even the series back up. Go out and do it. Start by not turning the puck over in your zone to give the Kings life and finish by scoring on some of these prime scoring chances you're getting.

 

[aufheben]

Does a lobotomized ref fall under the "bounces" category?

 

[TheDirtyH]

We don't come back in this series if Rick Nash doesn't score. All season long if Zucc and/or McDonagh scores, we seem to be guaranteed the win. Tonight, both happens. We've sapped that dry. Rick Nash has to do what he hasn't yet, or we're toast. Simple as that.

 

[The Gloaming]

I don't understand why GI goals are not reviewable. What makes goalie interference so different from kicking motions? Both are totally subjective and require video reviews for the right call to be made. The NFL reviews all scoring plays and is by far the most successful sports league in the US. Coincidence? At least NFL fans rarely feel their team is being cheated out of a touchdown.

 

[Raspewtin]

LA sports fans have the collective IQ of a brick so I could give a **** less what those neanderthal amoeba's think.

But, holy ****, they're some of the most arrogant ever. This is almost Caps bad. Almost.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I'm not blaming Hank per se, but I think he needs to come up with a win tonight and he needs to be a little better.

Gonna get reamed, but I agree, to an extent.

He needs to SHUT THE DOOR. Like in game 7 against the Pens. It just needs to happen. Yes, these goals against him are tough to stop, but they're all gonna be tough to stop at this point. We're in the Cup Finals, we need him to be our superstar.

I really think he should have been able to cover up on the fourth goal myself.

 

[rvdnsx]

Their bandwagon fans are terrible. Worse than the Pens and Caps so far.

They didn't even sell out Games 1 or 2 at home in the Stanley Cup Finals, that right there says it all about their "fan base"

 

[NCRanger]

I guess there are Ranger fans that have gotten so used to getting jobbed by the officials that if three Rangers came in on a 3 on 1, but some nut in the crowd shot all three of them, and two of them died, those fans would blame the third one for not scoring.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

We've blown 4 2 goal leads in 2 games and the Kings haven't led a game for a single second. And we're down 0-2. I'm so dejected, I feel so emotionally spent. I've been pacing since 6pm and I've been laying on the floor since the game ended.

I don't know if I can handle this. That was a blatant interference penalty and Hank is right, it changed the game. It gave LA momentum and they pushed and tied it. We dominated OT but the Kings got the bounce, again. After the second, I was so confident.

I do not feel confident anymore. I'm hopeful, because we've been in these games. But I don't know if we can pull this off. It's sad because I don't blame him one bit, but man, if you told me we would score 4 tonight, I would have bet my law degree that we win. It's ******** that the refs didn't make those 2 calls, the other being the delay of game, but honestly I don't know how we gave up 5 goals either. We gave up 5 goals. I don't know. I just feel so dejected right now.

 

[BB58]

You know what happens to people that do that, right?

It really doesnt matter now. These ref are gonna continue.

 

[Machinehead]

BTW, LA fans are literally Satan. That will be the truly gutting thing if we do end up losing - those Neanderthals getting another undeserved championship.

Yeah but the Montreal fans in those threads are worse, laughing and commenting "Kings in 4 brah."

We're down 2-0 to this team and we ****ing thrashed you. Where do you think the Habs would be in this series?

 

[The Gloaming]

Because that's basically what the NHL does after every miss call - make some BS excuse as to why it was the right call.

Except for when they apologized to the Penguins for a blown offside call in 2012.

But besides that, I have yet to see the NHL admit that they ****ed up.

 

[lovethehype]

People can argue all they want about the Rangers' flaws or missed opportunities but a missed call that DIRECTLY leads to a goal is a huge momentum changer.

 

[Tundra]

How ridiculous was Zuccarello in the corners tonight? I actually felt bad for Voynov when he had to chase Zuccarello in OT.

 

[ImIdaho]

What a ****ing idiot.

He was probably lookin at the popcorn guy in the stands and missed it.

Nope. Even Doc, Eddie, and Pierre were questioning what the hell he saw that didn't warrant the call.

 

[Dalagaze]

LA sports fans have the collective IQ of a brick so I could give a **** less what those neanderthal amoeba's think.

Dude the whole city has the IQ of a brick, not just the sports fans.

Easy to say from your couch. Were any of those goals not perfectly screened, deflected, or illegal?

Apparently the NFL gives a ****. The NHL not so much. Which is why hockey is a joke and the casual fan will never watch.

 

[BB58]

Nope. Even Doc, Eddie, and Pierre were questioning what the hell he saw that didn't warrant the call.

Until there is some rigging on??????

 

[sickboy35]

Besides the ******** by the refs, that was the worst game i have ever seen Brad Richards play and that is saying something, yet there he was in every big situation on the ice falling down? WTF?

This.
