gdt: [RS] (#70) Rangers @ Vancouver Canucks // How to Burn Your Own City: Vol. 1

[Shane Falco]

Wow.. I am just... wow.

[josh]

Maybe I’m hallucinating

[Karan]

What the fuck is this bullshit. So what the hell now? Is the League going to be sending two apology letters to the Rangers and retracting both nonsensical penalties? What a fucking embarrassment, these officials should just fucking go home right now, put on a pair of skirts and watch some Oprah.

[BrooksBurner]

This is what happens when you have referees that make knee jerk reactionary calls without actually seeing the play.

[Mike]

3-0, season over, lets see a scrap or 3

[BrooksBurner]

"Brendan Lemieux (Head-Butting - 5 min) drawn by Antoine Roussel served by Pavel Buchnevich"

 

Lol wut. I thought it was going to be elbowing or something. I gotta see this phantom headbutt.

[zman]

I never comment on anything, but i have to vent...

 

I rarely ever see 5 mins and game misconducts, and 3 in the last week? Two in a game???? For nothing. none of these hits were intentional head shots. Kreider spins, and his arm flies out behind him. He doesn't know his head his there. He doesn't stick his elbow out. Give him a penalty for an elbow.

 

Same for Lemieux. Shouldn't have been a penalty. That one will be rescinded. How many will that make. Some Rangers record that will be. Stupid refs. Good thing theses games don't matter

Exactly what happened.

[Shane Falco]

DeAngelo needs to pummel somebody.

[Phil]

DeAngelo needs to pummel somebody.

 

So he can join the misconduct parade?

It's been brutal reffing.

Take down a ref too while he's at it. Fuck eerbody

[Phil]

LOL. Just punch a ref. Tell him to "fuckin' rag it."

[ThirtyONE]

Think this league are pussies now? Wait until millenials are the refs.

 

Please don't be serious. You're one of the good ones.

[ThirtyONE]

You know, I'm glad the Rangers are losing these games but it really illustrates how far they have to climb if they intend on being even somewhat relevant next season.

[Phil]

Kind of. Their young guys will get better. They can go fishing in trades or free agency. Maybe both. There's really lots of room for improvement, and they have a great culture (by all accounts) with then youth they do have at the moment.

I'm dumbfounded. I usually am irked that the refs are chicken to call a 5 no matter how egregious the foul. I can't remember any 5s all year. Usually you get 2 or maybe 4 for just about spearing someone in the face or planting them into the boards like a runaway tractor trailer. Now, the College of Cardinals gets together and comes up with a five even if none of them immediately called anything. Both of the tonight's 5s should be rescinded tonight, but I'll bet they only rescind one, because it would be embarrassment to rescind two fives in one period against one team.

These losses go to show how much the Rangers are going to improve by a team perspective. We have the youth to grow as great members of this franchise, and the veterans who already know what their expectations are (execpt the disgraces of Staal and Shattenkirk) and those players will make this team a playoff contender, if not a cup contender.

The disgrace of Marc Staal, lol.

[LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN]

This is an utter joke of officiating. These refs should be fucking embarrassed of themselves, calling themselves official NHL refs...fucking embarrassment to the league!

 

F-bombs galore! Use it much?

Rescinding a major penalty serves absolutely no purpose in the scheme of the game. The player is lost for the rest of the game. NHL officiating is putrid; always has been.

 

BTW. The NYR stunk up the joint once again. Mediocore performance would be an understatement.
