I just saw the goal by Hayes. What a ******** call. I don't even think Howard tripped him on purpose. But you have to be responsible for your stick.

The refs were so lost they called an interference penalty against Detroit. You have a better chance of seeing Elvis playing cards with Jimmy Hoffa and Amelia Earhart than you do of seeing Detroit called for interference.

It’s a rebuild.

That's no less common than finding 2 for 1 fingers of single barrel bourbon at a mid level speak-easy for the price of an interstate telegram I tell ya!

You have dated yourself sir... :naughty:

Seriously though, that was some ****** officiating. The calls had hockey weekend cap game written all over it, but at least we came out on top.

These coaches challenges are so ****ing inconsistent. They need to have the guys in Toronto make the final call. Leaving it up to the on ice officials has been a nightmare.

Can't wait for a goal like that to be overturned in a playoff game. I'm gonna lose my ****

8 more shutouts and Lundqvist will pass Patrick Roy. Surreal...

Probably could have 8 more shutouts (okay, exaggerating) this season alone if his team could help him out in the final minutes.

How many shutouts has the guy lost in his career in the final minute? It's a lot, unfortunately.

Referees make mistakes and make bad calls every now and then, and I can accept that.

However, this game was way beyond the scope of acceptable human error. I really don't like bashing the officiating because I feel that its used an an excuse way too much, but we really got raw deal tonight. With the way we were handicapped by the refs, we were lucky to come away with the win.

The worst part is that a darling team in the middle of a playoff race gets a completely undeserved point thanks to the officials.

Could you or someone else please post a list of the "darling teams" so I can better understand this idea.

Thank you

Stalberg Moore Fast would be ideal 4th line

Lindberg is not an nhler folks sorry at least not on a playoff team.

We need 2 guys if we only get 1 it's because AV wants Glass in the playoffs to have a regular spot

The ****ing Yandle penalty too. How can you interfere with someone when you have the puck?!

I may have to watch the play again, but it looked like the interference might have been a pick. I'm not saying that's what it was, but that's probably what the ref saw.


It was a boring game, but the Rangers as a team played well. No complaints besides the refs, but no there's really no need to complain when there are games we get calls. It happens.

What is your deal with Lindberg? You bang this drum without explanation constantly.

He's 7th on the team in ES pts, 4th in Goals despite being 16th in TOI.

He's a decent bottom 6 player on a low contract.

You mean the kid who has almost 20 points as a rookie and has defensive Corsi numbers similar to Brassard?

Interesting game to be at. I thought the fans were going to turn the place upside down when that goal was overturned. I hope the officials don't think they had anything resembling a good night.

There was no reason for that goal to be overturned. The win was so gratifying because of that. These refs and this league are/is a joke.

the wings were flat out brutal last night. they played bad boring hockey. granted they were tired from prior night and being on the road and all but awful game for 2 periods. the aren't very good right now. we should have blown them out.

lots of names but not much else. jimmy howard- a syr guy btw, made saves but again, we need too bury chances. kept making him look good with our inability to finish chances. common problem.

we were treated yet again to the woeful thing that is out power play. noticed how aggressive detroit was on the pk. always pressuring us and all we do is pass it around the wall and many times look as though shooting is an after thought. telegraphed shots, passes and weal attempts define the pp. its just stupid to think you cant score when you have one more player than they do. the pp is killing us.

our pk has been better but thats too passive too. no urgency, lots of standing and trying to intercept passes and not much else. would like to see us be more aggressive and take away time and space more than let the opposition set things up and run their plays.

i thought our defense played very well. girardi and even stall have found their games it seems. dan boyle was horrendous again and mcilrath looked like he hadn't played in a month. he needs to get more games and play with a better partner. he's making zone read mistakes and looks tentative.

hank seems to have settled in and thats a good thing.

the no goal call was borderline. if it were against us, we lose that one every time.

gathering points lately which is good. 5th in gpg and 11th in ga is good. the pp and pk numbers are atrocious. unless fixed, this team is going not where with those special teams results.

his that rick nash guy playing ? oh wait, he's not.... can we just settle this once and for all, were playing better WITHOUT that albatross. not only dont we need him to succeed, we need to get rid of him to prosper.

That kid scored what 95 percent of those points is the first 2 3 weeks of the season? He's been awful since nov and he's what 24 25 years old? Not a player for a Cup team

And Fast is still horrible a 4th liner at best. Awful on the pk (the numbers show it) and has hands of stone. Any other guy not named Glass on the roster wins that game for us in the third period. A penalty shot and a tap in miss. Having him on the pp??? Ridiculous
