He'll be suspended and like I said, i'm fine with it. I have wanted Diaz in for him for the longest time.

 

[mattola]

You guys do know that clip is in reverse, don't you? Weaver actually chest butted Tony Dorsett. Its a clear shot to the head.

He's just trying to get into Lundy's already rattled head.

yet trail 3-2.

Tokarski didn't play in game 1. So he's 2-2.

Funny, I thought I heard the theme to 'Growing Pains'

Yep Hank has as many losses as him in this series

Not gonna work. In elimination games at home Lundquist is undefeated with a negative goals against average and a save percentage of over 9000. Plus before every elimination game, he rescues a puppy and stands on the corner batting his eyelashes so all of New York can SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.

Yep let's not even play the game it's over pack the bags

Good luck coming into MSG in an elimination game and coming out on top. This series is over on Thursday. Habs will be lucky to get 1 past Hank tomorrow night. Let the Habs players keep talking, once again, you trail 3-2 in the series. One bad game from Hank doesn't mean shit.

Idc for him, series is 3-2 us. All that matters.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

@TGfireandice Indications as of right now are that Dorsett (headbutt), Bourque (crosscheck major) will not receive any form of supplemental discipline.

It is Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, it's no fluke that the Habs are at this point - they're a resilient team who have been counted out all series - if you think this is going to be easy think again

If one bad game from Henrik Lundqvist doesn't mean shit then why did he have three bad games in a row two years ago against the Devils when the Rangers were up in the series? Or when the Rangers were down 3-1 to the Penguins?

I don't know why you're so worried about the Habs players talking - they're a team that feels confident in theirselves and they have every right to be playing in a Game 6 of the Conference Finals

Even if Henrik Lundqvist plays well tomorrow night, the Rangers could still lose this game - like Game 3 - at some point, records are made to be broken and eventually the Rangers will lose an elimination game on home ice, you can't keep banking on it - you guys have serious trouble closing out teams, you should have closed them out already in this series, you had trouble closing out the Flyers and historically they've had trouble closing out other series

While I agree with you that 3-2 is all that matters, it was a direct response to your post. The assertion was that Tokarski has been just as good as Hank in this series. You responded saying 3-2, clearly implying that the fact that the Habs trail in the series shows that Hank is playing better thank Tokarski.

I pointed out that Tokarski didn't play game 1 and (as Cobie helpfully illustrated) Tokarski has just as many wins as Hank in this series.

Simple point (even of Bourque's comments) is that Tokarski has clearly not been the Habs problem in this series. Sure they'd probably still prefer to have Price back there, but Tokarski has been good enough to at least give them a chance in every game he's played in.

I hadn't even realized Bourque got the major there at the end. Weird call by the officials on that one.

Not shocked by the decision on Dorsett, but I thought perhaps he'd at least get the token fine.

Yeah I didn't notice that either at the end - unless it was obvious that it needed to be a major I'm surprised they'd call that then

Derek Dorsett should be suspended considering he's had this coming for a while, the crap he pulls on the ice is ridiculous and the refs do nothing about it - but whatever, he's a 4th line plug, I guess you can't worry that much about him
