Game 2 Pens and refs vs. Rangers

I really wish the NHL would eliminate icing on an empty net. You’re playing a man down just like the PK. Get rid of the icing.

 

Ryan Reaves time. Good bye Crosby. Your career is over.

 

Tense moment there. Glad Igor is OK.

 

lmao at these announcers. HOW DARE IGOR TURN

 

5 on 3...CRASH THE FUCKING NET HARD. Fuck it.

 

The Rangers tend to play better on the road in the playoffs so maybe this springboards them.

 

Good win, bounce back I expected.

Rangers, Oilers, Panthers, and Wild all win game 2 at home to even their series 1-1. TB/Tor 1-1 also. Have to love the NHL playoffs.

Going to be a fun one in Pitt Saturday night. They'll come out flying, can we withstand the blitz and then take over like the Pens did in game 1.

 

Much better

 

Sounds like Goodrow will be out for a while.

 

Played better. Panarin redeemed himself for not back checking all game. Too bad Goodrow he is a playoff guy. At this point I would sit Rooney he sucks . Play McKegg (who sucks too) or Gauthier

 

Miss Motte and Blais big time

 

Because Parros is an incompetent, dumb fuck at his job, you are seeing teams starting goalies getting hit all across the playoffs. If the retard was fired by useless Bettman and they had somebody in there that suspended players for hitting goalies, this wouldn't happen. Carter should be given at least a game. You need to send the message that if you hit goalies, you are getting suspended. That simple. However, Parros is a retard and has no clue how to do his job.

 

I find it interesting that the NHL likes to hire former thugs in that role. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but then again most of what the NHL does doesn't make a lot of sense to me (like the most ridiculous playoff seeding model in the history of team sports). And again why they will always be clear 4th of 4 major sports in America.

Shame of it is, the NHL playoffs are the best playoffs of any pro sport. 6 of 8 series even 1-1, amazing stuff.

 

Melrose said it was Shesterkin's fault. Sorry Barry you old fart. I don't see it that way. Now, I do think Shesterkin was acting. However, Carter a vet had plenty of room to go around him.

 

There is no doubt Carter could have avoided him. There also seems to be no doubt Igor was over the top with his reaction and "flip". I say no shot Carter gets suspended. At best maybe a little slap on the wrist fine, but most likely no there either.

And BTW - game 3 the Pens will get at least 4 PP's, maybe 5, and we will not get more than 2 tops. Mark that down now. You know that is coming.

Got the win last night and did what we had to do, but simply put we need to do MUCH better on Crosby, and we need to tighten up in our own zone or we'll get run out of their building in games 3 and 4.
