I agree Mess. I expect that to be a tight low scoring game again. 1st goal is big strud. If we get it then I could see the Caps start to get a little off their game. If they score 1st though that is going to be a war.
I don't complain about refs. Didn't in the SCF last year either. In hindsight I agree with 31 that it helped us. It all worked out well.
caps shot their load tonight knowing they had to win. They are not getting the calls they got tonight at the garden. That phantom over the fucking glass phantom call if the caps had cashed in would have been a bad black eye for the nhl. Whoever was the one who said it definitively went over the boards in that critical situation should be told your suspended till next season. That was awful. The fucking 4 blind refs and not one of them had the guts to say it hit the glass first. I am so pissed about that call even though we managed to overcome it. Hopefully McD will be alright
I like the two days off for a couple of reasons. First, I think the Rangers can use the extra rest. Second, it lets things rattle around in Washington's head for an extra day. It's huge to go from playing two games in which you're looking to eliminate somebody to all of a sudden you're playing in an elimination game.
7:30 Wednesday night at MSG. Excited already. Wish the game was Tuesday night. Not sure which team benefits from the extra day off, or if either team does.
It's not a realistic notion anyway to be completely honest. You're not going to dump a salary like that and also get fair value in return. You're taking a huge step backwards in making a move like that which this team isn't in position to do.
I tend to agree with you that it is better for us, if there is even an edge Mess. Maybe it could also give the Caps an extra day to mentally clear their heads, and hear some more how EVERYONE will pick the Rangers, which I don't like.
I'd like to see that, really I would. Ward plays close to Hank, gets touched and then falls all over him like he was pushed into him. Needs to be 2 minutes
I agree Mess. I think it favors us by a little, but honestly I don't think it matters that much either way. Can you guys enjoy the win and stop bitching about the refs. For the love of god....
My hope is that the Rangers win game seven and the interference call on Ward that disallowed what would've been a series clinching goal will be all the revenge that's needed.
