GDT: Game 41: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals, 1pm ET, ESPN+, ABC (Game 1 of a home and home)

[Rangers in 7]

That is one of the weakest calls I’ve seen in awhile

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Holy f*** what a call

 

[majordomo]

The core of this team is far too mentally weak. Igor, Mika, Miller, etc. They all go through these freak slumps and can't fight through them and become a detriment to the team.

They need to do something significant and bring in someone with a legitimate pedigree.

This is what you get when your owner is obsessed with having as many "stars" in the lineup as possible without any thought being given to what's actually needed.

 

[LOFIN]

Interesting.

Him in the lineup pushes everyone down, he brings a defensive presence, eases up the matchups. That simple really.

 

[gabevh3]

Killer glove for lindgren

200 IQ play by Laf to get a penalty called there.
now it's more likely we get a PP in the last 3 minutes or so
that's how the refs work

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Imagine if they called all of them as slashes, the game would be all PPs

If everything that was a penalty were called a penalty, there would be no 5 on 5 play.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This officiating in this league is a clownshow every fing game.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Almost time for caps to play a game of empty net goal

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

The unraveling started when the ref made the worst call I’ve ever seen in my life on Kreider. A clear game management call despite the fact that Pacioretty actually cross checked Lindgren from behind into the boards so it was a deserved penalty, nothing to make up. But he whistles Kreider ONL because Carlson shakes his hand at him. Then the Rangers unraveled from there.

 

[Machinehead]

Cuylle tackled.

We suck but the refs have been a factor in this period.

 

[mike14]

If everything that was a penalty were called a penalty, there would be no 5 on 5 play.

Which furthers my take that they need to rewrite the rulebook from scratch for the modern game

Ovi punching the air rn

 

[RangersFan1994]

3 mins to go and Goodrow on the ice. Awful coaching

 

[MysticLeviathan]

why is the 4th line on the ice here?

 

[Ranger Wolf]

Cuylle gets mugged and no call

 

[Daves a mess]

Vignaults fault!!!
Quinns fault!!!
Gallants fault!!

Now what?

 

[gabevh3]

Anyone have a video of the Slash penalty

 

[INWOODBLUE]

Building a team is time and work by the GM and his staff including the scouts. Plus a commitment from the owner.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

This is what you get when your owner is obsessed with having as many "stars" in the lineup as possible without any thought being given to what's actually needed.

There are a lot of stars who aren't weak as shit. It's just the composition of this team isn't balanced. To many "nice" guys. The Kreider and Mika bromance is the prime example. One of the most embarrassing things I've seen in all my time watching hockey.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Vignaults fault!!!
Quinns fault!!!
Gallants fault!!

Now what?

Tuba fault

3 mins to go and Goodrow on the ice. Awful coaching
