My Senator fan roommate was hilarious at the end of the game last night. He was going off on how Neil didn't spear Lundqvist out of the net intentionally (he's a goalie too, so he should get it). At least he was willing to admit that the intent didn't matter one bit and it shouldn't have been a goal. Still, that was kind of funny to watch, especially how Lundqvist was still mad at the ref while his team was coming out to congratulate him after the final buzzer.

That was a pretty bad job by the officials. I do, however, find it amusing whenever a Ranger fan, player (Lundqvist last night), or coach claims some anti-ranger conspiracy. Yes I'm sure the NHL doesn't want its largest media market in the playoffs, especially given the amount of secondary markets winning in the first round :rolleyes:

Has the NHL come down on Torts after his comments at the end of game 5? The one where he said that Niels hit was the same as Torres and he expects a similar punishment?

The goaltender interference penalty on Foligno was horrific. Another bad penalty call caused by the oversensitive hysteria around protecting goalies. A call made worse by the Rangers capitalizing on the gift power-play.

 

The focus should be on letting the players decide the out come of games not the cries of outside influences.

well the West pretty much is an upset , don't think many gave those teams a winning chance.

 

Kings over canuckas 4 - 1 no one saw that coming

Yotes over hawks 4 - 2 most got chicago the winner to

preds over wings 4 - 1 was predicted a much close race

blues over sharks 4 - 1 this one most predicted

 

the east had one big surprise already

 

flyers taking out penguins, and im hoping rangers and boston will follow suit blowing the playoffs wide open then :D

As long as Boston and NJD are kicked out I'm happy.

So many people's first response to any controversial call is the conspiracy theory. It's always hilarious. I saw a good one yesterday saying that the NHL was trying to screw over Phoenix with the Torres suspension. So let me get this straight. The NHL wants to screw over the team that it owns and is trying to sell? That sounds reasonable.

It's going to be an uphill climb for them now.

 

In regards to the conspiracy theories: I absolutely love 'em. They make me laugh every time.

 

I hear the Panthers buried a rat under center ice at the Prudential center.

I have no doubt that there are rats encased in the cement under the Prudential Center. But they're probable more the Frank Calabrese, Jr type.

And Jersey takes the lead on a Steve Bernier goal.

 

 

 

Filed under Stats that Dwight Drane Loves- Steve Bernier has more career NHL playoff goals than Derek Roy.

I wish there was a thread for those stats, I find that one hilarious. And sad.

Beat me to it.

 

Don't feel too bad about it. He beat Brodeur to it, too.

 

I see NBCS hired the best John Gurtler impersonator available for tonight's game.
