Can we ditch the prevent defense from this point on? The Giants have already proven beyond any doubt that it doesn’t work very well…

If you watch the previous faceoff, same exact think happened and they didn’t call the penalty when Trochek won the faceoff…

Either way, he closed his hand on the puck..not sure what the discussion is…should be a penalty either way.

D need to stop playing goalie and take guys out…

That’s the second icing the refs have blown early…they were both icing, but every second counts and need to wait until the players reach the top of the circles…

Too many unnecessary neutral zone passes this game overall…ON the flipside, I think Bread had at least 10 turnovers at the far blueline by this point in the playoffs last season…

Forwards fell asleep there a little in the neutral zone…

What??? No drop pass? Breadman!!!

Agreed. We’ve seen much worse second periods from the Rangers in their season with nice wins…keep going.

Pretty weak finish on that period…let’s regroup and get a quicky to start the 3rd…

Don’t know why the Rangers keep trying to force that pass to the middle instead of using the goalie with a nice low shot at the 5 hole…if you don’t score, rebound in the slot…

That’s twice Trochek had a chance like that and Anderson came out…just go around the net and wrap it!! That’s what you learn when you’re 13.

After the fiasco in the playoffs a few years ago when they made such a big deal about it, if he doesn’t konw that’s an option, he’s an idiot.

Dumb penalty.

Don’t understand that move by Lindgren to go all the way to the far bench after he lost his helmet…just pick it up and put it back on!!

Love Messier schooling Subban on the rules…D’Angelo wasn’t called for elbowing…it was roughing for hitting a player in a vulnerable position from the previous hit…very clear in the rule book…how about we look at the Rempe call and see what you think on that you has-been, never was defensman?

Decided to grab tickets late. Prices went down faster than a prom date today. 5 rows from the corner!! LGR

I’m a big proponent of calling penalties in the playoffs like the regular season…not a proponent of refs “putting their whistles away and letting the players decide the game.” That’s code for one of the two teams suck and need to commit lots of penalties to keep the game close and entertaining…that said, the refs sucked tonight. Many of those weren’t even pre-season penalties…Caps look like they’re skating out there with their skate guards on…

Good. Fuck these refs…worst calling of the playoffs so far.

Miller in freakin’ space again..

Not sure what you’re watching…they are just clogging the middle lanes and letting the caps take the outside and not overcommitting…takes a lot of discipline and hard work as you can’t have more than one guy out of the house…

I guess those cross checks are okay.

they should be the 4th line out to kill penalties…give caps a little chance.

Yup…only will use it if he knows he can make the play…otherwise, it’s 2nd gear with the rpms at 1000.

Never seen so many guys just fold along the boards as the caps…you’d think everyone on the Rangers was 6’5” 285.
