Game Thread 4/20/17 Game 5 New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens

[Rangers94]

I shouldn't have said it was a bogus penalty but with everything else that was let go tonight....it was beyond idiotic for Miller to do it, especially given that it wasn't going to lead to a legit scoring chance.

 

[Messiah717]

With all the slashing that Ott gets away with and the slash to McD's chest that wasn't called, to call that is ridiculous. It's a penalty but it's no worse then everything else that's been done by gallagher and Ott.

Miller made it an easy call. Blatant two handed slash in open ice. It would get called every time. Just a moronic penalty late in the game by someone having a bad series.

 

[Rangers94]

If you didn't know any better you'd almost think that Miller and Kreider were rookies with their disappearing act and Buch was playing in his 4th or 5th playoffs not vice versa.

We deserve this game like we deserved game 2. If theres a fucking hockey God we get this one in OT. Time for another blood pressure pill.

 

[Ranger71]

Definately need more puckhandlers going forward.

 

[RangersFan]

Miller, Hayes, Kredier, Staal, and Holden. Killing us. Stepan not far behind.

BUT we head to OT now. I didn't think we had any real shot to win game 2 in OT (barring a lucky bounce or a one off chance). Tonight it could go either way, but the Rangers OT history does not inspire confidence. With that said obviously it can go either way. The winner of this OT could be the winner of the series.

 

[mrmel29]

Unlike game 2 have to come out hard in this OT and throw every puck from every area and angle they have and force something by price. Gotta be very aggressive and go take this game

 

[Stepupstepan]

Well, we know how this is going to end in OT. Now on to game 6. Maybe they can pull a win out of their ass at home again.

 

[Messiah717]

Coin flip of a series if you ever saw one. Lets see if one of the maligned Rangers has the game winner on in them.

Spoken like a true fan. I'm sure you will be rooting for a Montreal goal too.

 

[Disturbed]

I am not one to complain about the refs but you can't call that slash if you don't call it in the series, especially all that crap from Montreal in G4.

To quote our old friend Jeter we move on now.....

McDonough for some Overtime Magic and go up 3-2

 

[mrmel29]

Montreal does not deserve this game but we have to go take it and not sit back.

This is the truth. They can't play conservatively. They controlled play right until Miller's dumb penalty. Get back to applying pressure and getting to the net and making Price uncomfortable and get that game winner. My prediction....Nash or Kreider with the winner. (PLEASE!!!!!!)

Dis, your right but I've already resigned myself that the refs will suck and you just have to play past them. Don't know how hockey puts up year after year with such mediocre to horrible refereeing.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Spoken like a true fan. I'm sure you will be rooting for a Montreal goal too.

whats being a true fan gotta do wth this? Look at their record in OT in the playoffs over the past 10 years. But you stay optimistic because you are a true fan.

 

[mrmel29]

Much better OT effort so far

 

[mrmel29]

Holden gonna give me a heart attack

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Its....TIME

 

[Greyvtrayn]

jesus, holden...

 

[Ranger71]

WTF Stepan you dumbass..

 

[strudwickisthebest]

They're too slow in their execution

 

[mrmel29]

shit. almost vesey

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Ok here is where i have a problem with rick nash...be the fucking man and force your way not leave it for someone else

 

[mrmel29]

gotta take advantage when that POS ott is on the ice

 

[Ranger71]

Would like too see a little more from Grabner here.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Again nash sitting on the sideboad instead of attacking the net

 

[Ranger71]

Wow this team is stiff offensively.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Great hit by Girardi...!

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Win a face-off, make a pass, take a shot, score a goal.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Fuck u kreider
