Great start for the Rangers, hitting, controlling play, get chances and limiting the Pens attack.
 
Would you look at that...ADAM FOX SCORES A POWER PLAY GOAL!!!!!!!
 
Nice PP goal there! Strome MIGHT have just tipped it but either way...1-0 Rangers!
 
Great first half of first period. Big PK coming up. Reaves is making his presence felt!
 
Lafreniere is going to be a playoff beast as he gets older
 
Playing at a great pace. Now need to put a few more pucks in the pens net
 
I think the Penguins are as shocked as I am about the Rangers hitting
 
Did they really just call a penalty for that perfect hit???
 
Perfect hit? Elbow to the head! Dumb play by lindgren
 
They called it roughing because they couldn’t believe a big hit like that could be legal.

Elbow did not go to the head until after initial contact which was made to the chest. Both guys are flying out there. Limbs are gonna move.

How do they go from a 5 minute major for charging...to roughing...

They reviewed the call because they were gonna try to eject him and then realized it was a clean hit (despite what mel thinks) but it was too big of a hit for todays NHL so they had to call something.

Watch it again. I put it in slow motion and elbow right to the side of the head. Initial contact no where near his chest

Why can't you hit in this league anymore?

Ryan Reaves says you have no idea what you're talking about.

If I had to guess I would say Lindgren's hit could have been called interference because the puck was long gone when he made the hit. It seemed like an elbow to me live from the high angle, the ice level angle looked more shoulder to chest to me. Either way, the penalty was called, its only two minutes and it looks like Rakell is likely done for the game. Kill off the last :40 and it's a trade I'd take ANY day.

Initial contact was NOT to the side of his head. It was to the chest and came up. It’s super quick and initial contact isn’t to head. Follow through did hit the head but not the initial hit.
