I know what you're waking about. I'm pretty sure the Attack rang it off the crossbar and then the Rangers went the other way and scored. I was mentioning to my friend beside me that I though the Attacks shot may have gone in, but I guess it didn't.
They definitely showed the wrong clip in the broadcast. They showed the Sedley goal instead of the Goure shot that hit iron. The tell was the goalie was moving in the wrong direction from where the Goure shot came from in the clip.
Those two Rogers guys were calling penalties on Rangers that never appeared. They got the wrong clip of the second phantom goal and showed it again saying the Rangers got away with one. They should let them have a look at the famous John Kennedy assassination Zapruder Film and see what the come up with. Someone once told me Dale Hunter was seen on the Grassy Knoll. I think he worked for Rogers also.
Windsor missing Harrison and Abraham last night so basically no second line. I think the injury "factor " was a wash last night. Kitchener looked as good as I've seen them this year. They will be a tough opponent to draw in the playoffs.
Valade will get two games automatically first and maybe more if they don't over turn this. The definition of a slew foot certainly has changed. They love calling these penalties now for some reason. They seem to get everything wrong anyway going by the number of reviews every game. Look at the delay after the shortie. Ridiculous and it allowed the Spits to rest their top line. I think Savard pulled a Kobayashi Maru mind trick on the refs. Rangers could have won this game. I think when it came down to the last five they seem to trying to at least push the game to OT. Windsor is not so great defensively but they do have a lot of weapons. Highest scoring team in the OHL and one of in the CHL. They could still languish in eighth and face the first place squad yet.
Perspective. Vandenberg is a 3rd string goalie. Rangers are in 8th place also. He played well against the Spits shooters. The Spits are a team to be reckoned with if the tighten up the D. London has the stingiest defense in the west and the most penalty minutes. They will be a hard team to beat IMO in a seven game series.
The Attack has had two 'slewfoots' overturned this season .
There are currently (5) 03 Forwards and (3) 03 Defense.
The only positive is that they still get to play Flint, Saginaw and Owen Sound, so hopefully these games can help move them up the shadings.
I wouldn't count too many chickens before they hatch with this group. It's a strange year for the bottom teams. If the Ranger goalies stand on their heads they have a chance to win. Rangers will give up a lot of scoring chances in every game.
These replace the mouth guard infractions from earlier this season. :-(
Valade gets 3 games. I’d have to see the replay, didn’t think deserving of 3.
I doubt there is a real fear by any of the top three teams of playing the Rangers in a seven game series. They haven't been consistent since the start of the season. For fans paying for tickets I hope they do well in the first round and play some exciting hockey. When we had season tickets most of the STH around us never bothered buying play off tickets if the team was mediocre.
Some were seniors on fixed incomes others who knows. There were some seats around of that people with businesses owned. They would give out tickets to employees and people they were trying to smooze I guess.
My point is that STM’s that are true fans would support the team in the playoffs whether a 1 seed or an 8th seed. That is my opinion only.
