GDT: #CauseWinning: Canes @ Rongos Game 2 ("7pm" on ESPN)

[Brock Anton]

Skate near someone’s stick and fall down.

We do that and they’ll swallow the whistle so much, they’d choke on it.

 

[Svechhammer]

It's legitimately crazy NY has a PP going into OT. Refs never call that kind of iffy shit at that moment in a game in the playoffs.

 

[Tryamw]

Which goalie do you trust making the big save in OT?

Irbe!

5 of the last 6 penalties have been on us.

 

[Heyheylj]

I get that we have a proclivity for penalties but the amount of stick holds that are not getting called is criminal. Fine if you aren’t going to call it but don’t call stuff both ways-Canes are not getting any leeway at all.

 

[Brad Meador]

They've had 6 PP's in this game (counting the one that has 22 seconds left on it). Ridiculous.

 

[Svechhammer]

We'll get called for the solo Embellishment..

Yep. You just can't trust the refs anymore. You gotta just keep playing and hope.you find something because we are dominating 5v5

I mean Skjei legitimately tripped him. It was a careless trip. Sucks but is what it is.

 

[To Be Determined]

Irbe!

The Wall!

 

[wgknestrick]

It's exactly 4.3x GF for both teams

 

[VAcaniac]

Ahhhhh I cant take this!!!!!!

 

[htdoc]

I double dog dare you to go back and watch any other game in these playoffs, especially Tampa / Florida and compare the calls.

I called the way the refs were going to show themselves up giving things to the Rangers in this series…. But the real storyline here is just how utterly pathetic the Rangers have been with embellishment. I had no idea the rangers were this utterly incapable of maintaining their balance, that players like Fox had such utter glass jaws and could get knocked out with a face wash and are this truly ugly at embellishing….. they were already going to get the calls… that they have to be this weak and pathetic of a team really is a new low for the team and the league for allowing it and not calling any number of embellishment calls…. There is zero doubt if we fell down this easily and this often that we would have game misconducts for the level of embellishment. Very very sad. If you can’t win straight up, you have to resort to this I guess….

 

[To Be Determined]

Just kill what is left of the penalty, get to 5 on 5, and try to score in the few minutes before the next penalty. Pretty please.

 

[Brad Meador]

My blood pressure is rising.

The thing is that winners of OT have a huge advantage in winning series when they go back home for the next 2 games. This OT is probably the season.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean maybe, but that kind of inadvertent play doesn get called at that point in a playoff game all the time. And yet tonight in MSG it was.

And it's funny because a very similar thing happened at the end of the Knicks game last night.

 

[wgknestrick]

It was a clear trip and I'd want it called our way.

It probably won't though in OT. Just watch. Big black and white striped money on this game tonight boys.

Yup said before this series started needed a split to start. Canes win this one there gonna be riding all kinds of momentum into a rocking PNC arena

 

[Lempo]

Lol, international broadcast has been showing the rink the whole break.

 

[Stickpucker]

Guentzal on Fox

It’s like you’re really there!

That call was so late in the game it basically was an OT penalty

 

[Lempo]

Up in the rafters.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Yes, but it was also clear embellishment, for about the 15th time in this game. And it was way less egregious than the 20 penalties they could have easily called on the Rags in this one. It was a biased bullshit call...full stop. Legit or not, with what they've let go, calling that one, utter garbage
