Rangers shouldn't need any motivation from that quote, if they do there's a problem - the motivation should be that they got their ass kicked and they better get it in gear quick or else

As opposed to those ever so prevalent non-body injuries.

Don't underestimate the bruised ego.

I don't think he thought the kid was coming, but still jerkasaurus. However, Zuccarello helping him up was sweet.

Crazy game. Good one, Comeds. Onto Thursday now.

Also, real nice, Prust gets away with the same hit as Moore and gets no penalty. Solid.

I'm sure Moore will be suspended. But don't care, have wanted Diaz in for him the last two series. Moore is soft and he hasn't played well.

One thing I love, Kleiner. Not an offensive dman at all, guy joins any rush that he can. Gets in deep and involves himself in the play, I love his game.

Whining about this if Prust's hit came after Moore's would have made sense. Whining about it after Prust got suspended two games makes none.

Yeah, he was just trying to snow the Montreal players as they game to the ice in pregame warmups.

Not as bad as intentionally snowing the kid, but still a dick move.

Rene Bourque had a grand total of 9 goals during the regular season. He now has 8 in the playoffs.

I have really come to hate that little sumbitch. And that's a prime example of the things that we allowed to happen all game.

The only analysis left is a guy who was a career back up who is critiquing one of the top goalies in the league

Trade ya Milbury for Healey.

I bet it was something like "Everyone on earth knows that Henrik is ten times better than Tokarski and infinitely more handsome. Don't you agree?"

"Well, no."

"ZOMG YOU SAID LUNDQUIST IS NO BETTER THAN TOKARSKI!"

Tokarski has made mistakes, but has shown impressive resilience and focus. Veteran goalies would have cracked after losing a 3-1 lead in an elimination game.

43'ed

Except for that whole "2 game suspension" thing. Do we still consider suspensions penalties? I guess not in NY.

The reason Moore got a major was because of the Prust hit. If Prust never makes the hit on Stepan, Moore probably doesn't get the major and definitely not the misconduct. The refs were focused on it. If Price didn't get run, chances are the two pushes into goalies last night doesn't get called.

I think it's one of the biggest issues with officiating n our sport, and has been for a while. They are "trendy". They enforce the hell out of whatever is the hot topic while forgetting to do the rest.

There's been a TON of diving by both teams, so the league tells the officials to keep an eye out for it. But they focus so much on looking for it, they miss crosschecks and FUCKING HEAD BUTTS. Remember early in the season, the dreaded tucked jersey rule? Dubinski played half of his shifts in the first round with his jersey in his pants. Nothing.

They need to stop this "problem of the moment" officiating and just follow the god damned rule book.

I do give the refs credit last night for calling Plekanec for embellishment - they need to do that more

Rangers have been guilty of a lot of stuff too in the playoffs - I don't know how many times Marc Staal cross checked Sidney Crosby in the neck/head area and got away with it - also Derek Dorsett has gotten away with many embellishments, did that a bunch against the Flyers - karma has a way of biting you in the ass when you do those things, eventually that's going to happen with the Rangers if they keep that stuff up, which honestly, there's no indication that they're going to stop that

No surprise, Moore called to the Principal's office.

I don't think he will get any Moore games than Prust did...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

is the dorsett headbutt being reviewed? .. or is that one going straight to $2,589 fine territory

Haven't seen anything on it yet.

But I understand Montreal Police are investigating.
