As someone who likes to sit and watch/enjoy the game, i fear going to a game and get stuck with Al on one side of me yelling at the refs all game long "omg how did you miss that ref?!?...you calling that a penalty??!? back in the 3rd round of the 1989 playoffs the Pens did the same thing and the refs missed it. Be consistent!" then Chuck on the other not even taking a break to breathe going "75% of the time the team that scores first goes on to win the game...this is a huge period...i think we score first but i totally see the other team doing it too...it is what it is..all good"
TB lucky to come out ahead after 2. The Rangers took it to them. No reason they can't score in the 3rd again as Bishop is nothing special.
they have been a total disappointment in their own zone tonight, but if they can keep the cycle going on offense and keep tampa pinned in they can dominate
Can you please come clean and let us know which relative of yours is an NHL referee. The missed called on Moore was about as blatant a trip as you will ever see. It was two handed chop to his skates. It sucks because the Rangers had a lot of momentum at that point and a PP would've been huge.
Yes that was a big miss but they happen and are part of the game. And if you're talking about momentum, i 100% disagree and am of the opinion that a PP can actually kill momentum b/c you go from full on pressure and grinding away to holding the puck, slowing down the pace and waiting for that perfect pass/shot.
I think of that game against the Caps where they were throwing the kitchen sink at us and has us pinned on our zone and the refs called a penalty on us. The board naturally got all moist about it but the Caps went from winning battles in the corners, hitting and grinding to holding/passing the puck looking for that perfect opportunity and totally killed their momentum.
yea nothing he has said is inaccurate. Dumb penalty by Kreider, dumb turnovers that led to goals. As sloppy as they've played in a while yet can easily get the win with a strong 3rd.
Need to keep the pressure on like we had last half of that period and well get a few in the third and pull this thing out
