He called it out? I missed it. Was getting annoyed that no one on the broadcast mentioned it too haha

Do we have any updates on Strome, Chytil?

Yeah he took the penalties that cost us the game, but at the same time if the refs aren't calling that stuff all series you get used to different rules. I just don't think they call those if they aren't looking to make the PP opportunities even and it's bullshit that this is how the refs operate.

Well the refs called two really soft penalties to even up the opportunities we got when our goalie was slashed and then trucked over. I'd call it pretty fucking forced. More game management. Those calls on Trouba don't get called if the Rangers didn't just have two power play goals. Sick of this shit.

Ohhh never knew that. Interesting rule, yeah Trouba did get involved a bit so makes sense.

Why did that faceoff come out of the zone before after that scrum? Can anyone say?

It's not even the same team that started the playoffs. They've grown and grown so quickly. Getting adjusted to the playoffs in the first round where they struggled a lot. Coming out of a hard fought and tight 2nd round series victorious. No one can any longer judge the team based on their round 1 or regular season performance, they've evolved.

I'm starting to think the Canes were the real team to beat. But also the Rangers really are growing a lot as they keep going.

LET'S GOOO GG EVERYONE

Was just gonna say, we're starting to look allergic to the offensive zone

This ref shit is almost ruining the NHL for me. It's really starting to look like games are managed and guided with make up calls or inconsistencies and who knows how deliberate it all really is and I know we've heard things. It just makes things feel so illegitimate and the only thing having me still feel like it hasn't tarnished what the Rangers have done is that they are wayyy more on the losing side of these calls than they are on the winning side. Probably worth another thread to discuss and a GDT isn't the place but it's been bothering me. Why am I watching a sport and rooting for a team in a sport that feels like outcomes are forced. I stopped watching the WWE the day I learned the truth so I hope that doesn't have to happen with the NHL lol

Yeah I was just thinking Chytil or Vatrano for their shot/one-timer

Wonder if we could work Chytil or Vatrano to play the other side on the PP1 opposite Mika cause they're just covering Mika now

That is some awful bullshit

I fucking love the Leafs losing another round 1. It will never get old and I hope the tradition continues.

So if you can't definitely see where the puck is, can you call this a goal?

Get this guy the fuck out of here

Most concerning to me is how as time went on the Rangers looked slower and slower but the Penguins didn't. I guess the whole team needs to work on conditioning for next year.

Thinking outside the box here, is it allowed to strike a deal with a team where they sign someone like Copp in UFA, and then have them trade him to us with retention? Is there a way to hold them to trading him or would it have to be a handshake deal that they could simply decide not to trade him after signing?

Refs need to start making calls in a vacuum. They shouldn't be making calls based on how many have already been called or how long is left in the game or any of the bullshit that leads to this inconsistent, frustrating enforcement that drives us fans crazy.

COPPER HATTY IN THE 1ST LETS GOOO

Need 3-0, or else history says we lose

If you're using Firefox, try Chrome instead for these, worked for me

This game is wide open, can't believe it's still scoreless

I do wonder about Miller's potential as a winger where he could try stuff like that without worrying about defense as much, I know it'll never happen I just love his skill when he does things like that. It's something we don't have elsewhere in the lineup.
