Game Thread Nashville at Rangers

Nashville has been shut out their first two games(Columbus & Minnesota)
of their current road trip (Rangers, Buffalo & Philly). Preds are a
legitimate SC contender. As usual, another tough game.

It will be a battle of two speed teams and two outstanding goalies.
Go Rangers.

 

What I've noticed regarding this ridiculous disparity in PPs for and against is that the Rangers get called for every borderline interference call while the opposition doesn't. The calls have not been consistent. That first penalty to Girardi doesn't happen if the refs call Neal for interfering with Girardi about 30 seconds earlier and knocking him to the ice. Refs see everything the Rangers are doing but have some blinders on when it's done TO the Rangers. Be awesome to get some consistency.

 

Maybe the refs hate the Rangers and the NHL has a conspiracy against the NYR.

 

Or maybe you're just an asshole. I'm saying what I've noticed, which if you have a DVR you can rewind and watch what Neal does to Girardi and how it's not called. Go ahead and do it.

 

And there's another non call on McDonagh. But yeah I'm just saying its a conspiracy. I'm simply noting that they're calling borderline penalties against the Rangers, which they clearly are, but not against the opposition. I'm not saying that they are calling penalties that aren't there. I'm stating that they're calling the Rangers for every little penalty and allowing other teams to have more freedom.

 

Well that was an offensively productive period.

 

Good news: Rangers tied with Preds 0-0 after one.

Bad news: Rangers only have 3 SOG; Preds have 14 SOG.

Rangers continue to take more penalties than their opponents.
Nothing new here......been going on all year.

 

Lighten up 94...I'm busting your chops...LOL.

 

Take more Eyes not draw.

 

The Preds had 7:20 of PP time in that period, of course they are going to dominate the stats.

 

I think the point about the defense overall is the amount of zone time they allow others while seemingly not getting enough themselves.

 

Can they start the playoffs already?

 

That sequence right there is what I'm talking about. Moore has his stick CLEARLY held, to the point Helen Keller could even see it, and no call. Moments later they call a trip on the Rangers which doesn't happen if the blind mice in stripes call the RIGHT FUCKING CALL ONE MINUTE EARLIER.

 

Wow, these refs are an absolute disgrace.

 

For fuck sakes, just give Hank a Vezina trophy now.

 

The Preds should just play six forwards in the third and the Rangers wont even attempt to score.

 

Going to say something good..staal with a great pass

It is Mess...LOL. The D sucks, the refs hate us, too much zone time against, on and on. Love it...

 

Despite this teams inconsistencies they are continuing to win. Ultimately thats all that matters. We will address the woes, again. Hopefully this team continues and by the playoffs its all ironed out and ready to win it.
