Worst calls and/or non-calls in recent memory against the Rangers?

Hagelin's "charge":



Drury high stick (at the beginning of the video):

That Drury high stick still gets me. The worst part about that call was then Drury got called for 4 minutes for high sticking at the end of the game for something that was just a scratch.
Unbelievable. Four officials on the ice and no one saw where all that blood came from.

"The pivotal moment of that period may have been when New York's Chris Drury was unintentionally clipped and bloodied by Penguins forward Ryan Malone's stick in front of the Pittsburgh net only 92 seconds into the period. Both benches seemed to expect a 4-minute high-sticking penalty - play was stopped briefly to clean up the blood - but there was no call.

There was one when Drury drew a high-sticking double minor, against Malone no less, in the final two minutes of regulation. The Rangers killed off a power play that carried over into the overtime, but the Penguins used the momentum they regained by constantly pressing with the man advantage to get Hossa's game-winner a few minutes later."

That still pisses me off

The callahan/crosby play pissed me off too.
hmmm sensing a pattern here.

Love him or hate him you know you miss Torts flipping out on refs

 

[Giacomin]

The worst non-call in Rangers History happened on February 25 1979. At least the most famous non-call

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

The three that come to mind off the top of my head (you guys already talked about two):

1) Drury getting high-sticked in game 5 against PIT in 08.
2) Anisimov's disallowed goal against NJ
3) Chris Neil's allowed goal at the end of game 6 in 2012. This one takes the cake for me. I was irate beyond belief.

This is the one that I thought of right away. I remember Lundqvist's post game interview. He said something like "someone wanted to keep them in the game."



Best angle showing it was kicked is at 3:50.

 

[Green Blob*]

The high stick is just a missed called, I dont really mind that, it sucks but it happens.

The charge was just a brutal call though.

 

[Loff]

I remember that game. It was 2009, Drury scored on the PP in OT, one of my favorite wins.

Remember that one well. Against Chicago. Even Renney lost his **** on the bench. Enjoyable win.

Lundqvist's reaction right after the final whistle, where he was yelling at the referee, was my lasting memory from that moment. And my reaction was very similar to his.

Yes, Neil didn't get all of the puck, so I can understand the confusion and the eagerness to say he didn't kick it in if you only look at it from one camera angle. Just like Bob Cole did on HNIC, he was adamant that it was a good goal, no question about it.

But if you look at all the angles...THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PUCK TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION THAT IT DID. I don't understand how they allowed it to stand. Absolutely absurd.

And that call could have theoretically ended our season early, if OTT scores again in the final minute to tie it and send the game to OT.

Also, I had to really dig deep through some painful suppressed memories, but what about the tacky hooking call on Blair Betts in OT of game 5 in 2007 against Buffalo? The game where Drury tied it with 7.7 seconds left...Afinogenov wins it in OT on the PP, because Betts was in the box on a very weak hook.

Straka's goal being disallowed in Game 5 against Buffalo. The Rangers would have been up 2-0 in the game, with less than 5 minutes left to, with a chance to go up 3-2 in the series, and finish the series at MSG for a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Was it Rachunek stopping with the puck going off his skate? I remember earlier in the game a sabre forward punched the puck in and it counted.

The cally-slew foot game featured 7 Pitt pp to 0 NYR. One of the clearest cases of bias in recent memory.

 

[aufheben]

There was a puck over the glass penalty against the Caps in the playoffs this year that wasn't called. Technically it might have been the right decision, but I was losing my mind at the time.

It could have been Rachunek. The other one that comes to mind was Game 2 of the Pittsburgh series, where Straka scored a tying a goal, only to have it disallowed because the ref behind the net claimed he blew the whistle because he lost sighe of the puck. The Rangers were shutout as a result.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Drury getting high sticked in that Game 5 against Penguins was the first thing that came to mind.

That game was terribly called.

 

[NCRanger]

Then try to think back of when the Rangers may have gotten the benefit of a bad call...

Not many come to mind.

Those angles are tough to tell. Doesnt look like he kicked it at all. i havent seen any other angles

 

[RangersHank*]

And not a call but a bad referee play, anybody remember during a playoff series against washington, i forgot which one, in OT when the referee stepped in front of Dubinsky at the blue line and stopped a 2 on 0?

You mean this reaction?

"You F#!&ing SUCK!!"

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Brashear breaking Betts' face.

Still astounded that this was aloowed to happen.

Then we sign him?

no words

Yeah. That was when we had a 3 goal lead on them, I believe. Would be the last season where the Caps beat us in the playoffs.

 

[silverfish]

Dubinsky game misconduct for third-man in.
Drury high stick
Callahan interference on Crosby for getting slew-footed.
Hagelin getting a three-game suspension, and Neil getting jack ****.

I'm sure there are plenty of more.

But as the quote goes in Rounders:

In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player," Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." It seems true to me, cause walking in here, I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking of how I lost it.

 

[mrhockey193195]

"You F#!&ing SUCK!!"

Yup, that's the one.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Chris Neil kicking the puck in during the playoffs. I still think about that from time to time. To me it was blatant.

Also a Gaborik goal that got waived off that wouldve tied it against Brodeur. Forgot when that was though. He was pushed in and it was obvious.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Whenever a good goal is disallowed for us or a bad goal is allowed against us, I think of that Devs game still.
