Rangers getting so many PP's it's disgusting. 

And Carolina has a goal and a crossbar (on different kills) to show for the Rangers PP.

I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work.

I had little or no context for ESPN’s coverage of the NHL before watching tonight’s game. I approve. The female reporters doing the player interviews are sharp and quick on their feet in asking their questions.

Kevin Weekes is a knowledgeable guy, I like the way he breaks things down.

Emily Caplan has been around hockey for quite some time. She speaks well, I’ve seen her be a gust on Sportsnet’s Tim and Friends.

Oh, and Ferraro is my favourite colour commentator. I love his work at TSN.

Fox gets points and won a Norris trophy but he is not as dynamic as Makar or capable of controlling the entire ice like Hedman. I prefer Dahlin’s game.

3:21 until a fun game starts and I'm going to pass out before the anthem.

I’m not sure it’s in Carolina’s best interest to sit back and try to protect a 1 goal lead. It’s not their game.

I know, I’ve been up since 4:30.

I watched the third period. What I saw was the Rangers trying to play some cliché form of playoff hockey where they were trying to hit anything, and was completely ineffectual every time.  50% of the time they were missing their checks, 100% of the time the canes couldn’t care less and their much faster and more skillful team exited their defensive zone with ease. The Rangers now have one goal in two games against the faster more talented team. 

I’m sure someone’s going to show up and say they only need to hit more. 🙄 maybe the Rangers can call their buds from the Preds and ask them how to get it done.

Yeah would not expect much goals between tampa and carolina either in the ECF.

Here we go again with Calgary 

[ubkev]

Markstrom is awful, right? I mean, not particularly that goal/no goal, just in general. He looks pretty awful every time a puck flies near him. Oil just gotta shoot.

 

 

 

Haha, see! Told ya.

McDavid goal was sick

McDavid is a cyborg sent here from another planet. He's on another level.

All I will say about that Calgary Edmonton game is it looked like it was going to be a good heated affair and then the refs decided to be the main story. Every year there's a few like that where the refs just ruin it. Hope it was just a one off.

Fell asleep at 2-1, woke to see Edmonton won, I think this series may go 7

[That Aud Smell]

For television purposes, I think a playoff game in Calgary cannot be beat. What an atmosphere.

If so, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

They didn't ruin it for me at all. I was highly entertained throughout but that's my opinion, can I ask where you thought the refs ruined the outcome of this game?

Every single game of every day boils down to one single comment: the losing team wasn’t physical enough. It’s beyond tedious. I’m sure his reply to this will be some anecdote from 1988.
