GDT: ECSF: Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, ESPN

[Rsswmu]

I’d have to watch the plays in question. But I guarantee you that last call was a
Trash call.

Ok rewatch the first OT. We also had complaints in the first game that the calls were favoring the Rangers despite the fact the Hurricanes had 5-2 in powerplays and the refs missed a high stick that drew blood. The Hurricanes cannot complain as they have benefited from bad officiating as does every team but they have been trash on special teams this series.

 

[GG96]

Players are supposed to be able to predict referee incompetence now? Is that the game you want?

Hahahahahhaa. Cross check in the middle of the back = Incompetence? Good stuff.

Why watch? It’s all rigged apparently

 

[BB79]

Can you imagine the ice surface in those two arenas?

TD Garden has an inadequate ice plant, it was already turning to slush against Toronto. Wait until this weekend. Sad that Sunrise probably has better ice than us

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

NHL and the NBA want an all NYR / BOS ECF and a NYK/ BOS ECF

Coincidence?!?

ESPN and TNT having both finals in the same spot ?!?

Get the tin foil hats out folks

Yeah, after 100+ years (dunno how old the NBA is actually), these two leagues have just now realised that NY vs BOS promises good ratings and have been kicking themselves about not rigging the games sooner

Or the high stick on Zibanejad that went uncalled.

The refs are consistently inconsistent. That's one constant in the NHL.

There's no conspiracy theory. They just suck and have no standard.

I’ll check it out. But it’s such a joke that we even have to compare bad calls like this. Every f***in game, every year same shit. Reffing in this league is trash.

“Best refs in the world” is a LIE

 

[trilobyte]

Hated him when we played the Canes couple years back. He's just so versatile on the ice.

Although he had a massive off night on faceoffs.

Yes, the Rangers faceoff mastery dropped off from Game 1, it was noticeable

 

[Oak]

What do you need? Someone to get stabbed?

More than one hit a period would be nice. I'm tiring of the no hit playoffs that NHL is giving us. Too many ticky tacky penalties as well. Let them play, and let it be violent.

Cry


AM i doing this right? Need to check with Carolina’s pr team

They need to solve that game 3. They got pinned too often from the faceoffs.

100% agree. They called the same cross check a penalty on Goodrow earlier in the game in a less dangerous spot. The refs are dog shit but every team benefits just as much as they get hosed by the refs incompetence.

 

[BMOK33]

The worst call of the night by far was the one with 1:30 left but as a whole even the OT calls were not spectacular. I thought Noeces ultimately sacrificed the 2 on 1 to act as if he had been shot to get the call on Panarin as well. It got to a point the players probably knew they were gonna call almost anything

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Well, that's a shame

 

[Artorius Horus T]

He's been my favourite Rangers player from the start of the season.

Yes, his regular season was great as well.

He scored at least 1 point in about 65% (63,5) of his games this season.
That's a really good number. - very consistent season, in point production wise

Now, i, personally didn't watch many Rangers games during the regular season
but if he had the similar what he is having this playoffs and if i was a Rangers fan,
he'd probably been mine as well.

 

[Charlie Conway]

They need to solve that game 3. They got pinned too often from the faceoffs.

Between that and the Canes' speed, spent a lot of time in our own zone.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Trocheck is what devs fans wish nico was

 

[GG96]

The league is always going to be inconsistent. If they called every real trip, real interference, real crosscheck, etc. we would play the entire game 5on4. It’s situational.

The refs are human. Most of it is probably subconscious. That’s why teams trailing get more PPs. Or is you somehow have gotten three in a row, you know the next one is coming even if it is a light call.

Canes blew two PPs. The Tro crosscheck has to be called at the top of the slot

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

EAT SHIT CAROLINA!

Too much candy?

You touched on consistency. I always knew what kind of effort he would give. I liked him when he wasn't a Ranger, so I knew who/what he was before he arrived

All three of those calls were correct and fairly obvious.

It was a trip. Clear as day

 

[rangersfansince08]

Great win but fully expect this to be 2-2 going back to MSG

 

[Terrier]

Folks in the control room were drunk tonight. Kind of like a premature red light, which I see occasionally.

 

[Nyr88nyg]

Do people bitching about Trouba not realize that most ranger fans want him benched as he’s our 8th best dman?

Yes, we absolutely agree that he should be suspended! For the rest of the playoffs!
