We don't boo when a player gets injured cause the play stopped.

That's the biggest load of bull I've ever heard.

I don't care about the boos. Fans typically don't see the replay. All they see is notorious time-waster Hank taking an extended timeout for his eyedrops.

Yep the even up occurred. None of these calls were good. Lets just hope the ref stays consistent all game.

They were all horrible calls. It's ironic, normally come playoff time, you find yourself complaining about everything they let go - but in this period it was actually over zealousness that was the problem.

My favourite was the penguins penalty - you could just see the ref's thought process: "Nothing wrong here... oh wait, a crosscheck after the whistle! Gotta call something now! But shit... I already gave the Penguins two BS powerplays, can't give them a third. But then I need to justify the crosscheck... I know! I'll call the first guy for unsportsmanlike!"

It's so dumb.

King Henrik should be pretty pissed about whomever made his mask, I thought those openings were supposed to stop a stick blade from getting through.

When Hank first went down with what originally looked to me like a puck to the throat, and he was writhing on the ice, I cringed with a loud "oooh", "owww". Maybe that's what the fans were doing too.

I was wondering where the retaliation cross-check call was. Explains it.

You could tell by the body language that he was legit hurt. Didn't look like any real damage once he was getting his eye drops, but you wouldn't be able to see if it was a scratched cornea...

It was really hilarious. Ref only raised his arm after the crosscheck, so I thought maybe offsetting minors. But somehow it turned into a Rangers powerplay. That's the type of call that is 100% score and scenario dependent.

Looks like Raanta is in.

Eye dont think he saw it

Not sure why the Refs are calling any penalties. Both teams look like garbage on the PP.

A "legal" stick.

Given the choice between the two, I'll probably take the puck in the neck.

YEAH I KNOW there has been a lot of them he hasn't seen in that time frame during the regular season.

^ *whoosh*

Did anyone see that nifty shake and bake on Schultz's scoring chance?

Swallow your tongue!

Crosby hanging back cherry picking again. What a hack.

/those late-period goals are killer

 

[thedddd]

Until that goal I forgot Crosby was playing.

Still no chemistry. Had numbers a few times that period and looked like dog shit. On the bright side, they aren't getting my hopes up.
