The more I look at that Green cross check to the face of Dorsett, the more sick it makes me. Green should absolutely be suspended for that play. The league can't have plays like that in hockey.

Yeah, what's up with this slew foot nonsense? Maybe I don't know the definition, but it didn't look like a clear case of an infraction to me.

Great game. Unfortunately, Nash was terribad. He must be better.

He looked better today. Was getting back to the basics

Yup, thought he was more visible tonight. Definitely still missing that 2nd gear, but at least he was involved.

Toronto-NYR series would be a ratings monster for the League.

Last time they faced the Leafs was 1971 QF. They were 2nd overall but lost to Chicago in the SF. Stemkowskis two OT winners.

Gooooo conspiracy!!!!

How does one attempt a slew foot and go flying into the boards at the same time?

I would love it from the media tirade both cities would go through lol.

NBC would want no part of a Canadian team in the 2nd round, they would much rather have Rangers/Bruins.

Obviously would be great for Canadian tv ratings with both Ottawa and Toronto in the 2nd round.

beastly115 · May 12, 2013

It's easy to spot which Craps fans are new to hockey. They're the ones saying that attempted penalties are suspension worthy. Morons. I picture most Craps fans walking around with headphones with "Inhale. Exhale." on repeat.

Tawnos · May 12, 2013

I seem to remember Bernie Nicholls getting suspended one game for a similar cross check in the 1994 ECF.

Who gives a rats behind about what NBC wants? Just saying.

Im not bashing them by saying what I did. But its more thats its expected from them. Stralman was not expected to be as good as he has. He's raised his game to a whole new level, imo. Just great to see.

I agree looking at it this way I just think gran gets overlooked cause of his pp misfortunes

lol i try not to even look at other boards. practically every other teams fans want the rangers to lose. they have to be one of the most hated or maybe even the most hated team on hf boards. its unreal.

Small market fans here are some of the most bitter people i've ever had the misfortune of reading.

If passing up on shooting chances and making dumb passes constitutes being "involved," then sure, I guess he was that.

Can we petition the crowd to stop with the moronic "Ovie sucks" chant with 8 minutes left? It's unoriginal, stupid, and I can't imagine it does anything but give the Caps and Ovie more motivation to shut us up.

Do you remember why it started?

I'm sure a lot of it is 2nd city mentality has a lot to do with it, but to be fair I'm sure our brand of "Blockey" factors in too. If I was not a Rangers fan I would hate watching our team play. It is not entertaining, we do not play Hockey under Torts. Sometimes I feel I had more fun watching the Rangers terrible teams during the dead puck era (probably not true at all), at least we saw a team (a bad one) attempt to play HOCKEY. Even last years team which I loved so dearly got on my nerves with their style of play.

JohnC · May 13, 2013

This was the closest we've had to Hank and the skaters being on the same page. If they started out that way this series might not have been so ugly to watch

Sens chanted "ALFIE ALFIE ALFIE" at 11:00 every period during games 3 and 4 ECQF.

Rangers fans in game 5 and 7 chanted "ALFIE SUCKS ALFIE SUCKS" at 11:00 every period.

It carried over to the Caps series where Rangers fans began the "OVIE SUCKS" chant at 8:00 each period.

Exactly. I think it was a blunt, but entertaining, turnaround on another team's tradition. And I'm very rarely entertained by "___ sucks" type of chants.

Today's game was HIGHLY entertaining.

It's small market butthurt. No more, no less.

I said "involved", not dominant. lol

Ovy has one goal and has been a no-show in the Garden.

I'm not the biggest fan of the chant but it hasn't helped the Caps at all.

Whether the puck hit Richards or not, Brad made the correct play. You want a guy without the puck driving to the net. He occupied a defender, created space, and those are the type of plays where odd ball deflections occasionally happen.
