Stanley Cup Playoffs Random Thoughts

[Senser81]

I am rooting for Montreal, just for Dave's sake.

[leaffan]

Wait, did Dave really complain that the refs gave the rangers an advantage?

The refs were brutal for both teams but they missed:
1) Prust's late hit up high on Stepan
2) to many men in the ice for 5-7 seconds
3) Subbans potential slew foot
4) Subbans slash

Refs were awful on both sides but fuck off if you think they didn't work in the habs favor.

Prusts "interference" which is now being sent to the department of player safety and he might get suspended for it...

There's been a lot of dirty play going on during these playoffs but Montreal has really gotten away with some shit so far.

And thanks to Prust's late/dirty hit Stepan is out with a broken jaw.

Not officially out yet, they'll know whether Stepan will be able to play after surgery

Someone asked Carter how he picked his jersey # in the post game presser.

Hawks struggling this year with LA. Gotta step up their games or they're gonna enjoy vacation early

[leaffan]

Watching a bit of game here before I have to leave. Subban really really needs to settle down here. I think after storming against boston the word is out on how to stop the canadiens PP. They need to mix things up there. They'll probably score their old way now that I said that.

[EmpireWF]

Rangers pp can't get anything in but shorthanded and even strength (taking advantage of poor defense) give them their 2 goals.

Canadiens mvp line is out there I see. Horribly reffed game yet again. The Gallagher goal was Rofl.

*waits patiently for Canadiens fans to blame tokarski

[EmpireWF]

Two of the goals against MTL came with the Rangers offense completely beating the defense and getting wide open looks on Tokarski. St. Louis missed some great looking shots during regulation, good saves from the kid.

Completely shocked NY was able to pull this one out considering they had an endless amount of penalties. The opening minutes of OT was spent almost exclusively in the Ranger zone, too. Lundqvist put them on his back yet again.

Blame Tokarski? Are you kidding me?
I still think we can win this damn series and he's a big reason why.
That ... and I hope all our scorers' slumps end, I don't know, by Tuesday?

I take nothing from the Rangers. They have played great this entire series and really got butchered by the refs tonight. I get that the refs were gonna be a little tighter this game, but the Rangers got hosed and hung on anyway.

My blinders may be on, but I can still see the Habs coming back from 3-1 down.

The game tonight was probably the worst game I've seen the Canadiens play all playoffs. Their dmen including subban are getting butchered almost every shift.

I pretty much disregard anything you write about the Canadiens because you actually believe you're being subjective. Sadly, so do I ... but realize I probably am not. You, on the other hand....
