Game Thread: New York Rangers(2) vs. Philadelphia Flyers(3) | ECQF

No suspension for the scumbag Simmonds, so typical. Same way Read got away with an elbow to the head. Yeah, keep telling me how the NHL likes the Rangers. :rollseyes:

As I was telling your fellow ref lover if you were going to suspend Read or Simmonds you better also suspend Boyle for his blindside hit on Schenn...but of course it's only Flyers who do that stuff.

So suspend Boyle, i'm not saying not to. Just funny that the Flyers seem to get away with whatever they want, including diving for calls..

if you really think the flyers get away with whatever they want you haven't been watching hockey very long.

Are you actually saying that with a straight face? Add up the penalty minutes for the series and come back....

I'm talking recently. Why wasn't Read suspended for his elbow? If that was Carcillo/Dorsett or even little innocent Hags, they'd be suspended. Why not Read?

I don't need to add up the penalty minutes. We've been called for embellishment TWICE, Giroux does a fucking dive last night that leads to a PPG. If he fell from Pouliot barely touching him, then he is the softest player in the game.

i reiterate my statement about not watching hockey very long. when has the NHL ever suspended 'star' players or even close to star players? of course dorsett or carcillo would've been suspended. rinaldo or rosehill would've been too. it's not favoritism towards the flyers. it's favoritism towards good players, and it's been happening for a decade.

and dorsett was called for embelisshment because he has a reputation for diving. that was a bad call (IMO). i dont remember zucarello's dive earlier in the series.

Just heard that Pittsburgh's Consol Energy center isn't available Saturday night so the league is leaning to have game 1 played Friday evening. So who wins this NYR Philly series, will be playing 3 games in 4 nights.

it'd be 4 games in 6 nights then.. that's brutal. this series has had the dumbest schedule, the schedule makers must've been on a bender when they made it

Yep, Arena Football game vs. Philly (could be a funny coincidence if Philly wins tonight).

Could probably do a 12 or 1 start for a hockey game and still get the arena converted in time. Risky if they go to OT then though.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Well, you know what, boys. Let's just hope for some great, intense, game 7 playoff hockey tonight! I'm not gonna sit here and fight with you all, we're all a bunch of dedicated and educated hockey fans. I can't wait for the game tonight!

Chicago's Seabrook was just suspended 3 games in round 1. He's not nec. a star but pretty much as close as you can get to being labeled one.

Typical for pens bettman...no worries everyone is used to the BS already.

Zuccarello was hit and fell down, but that was considered ''embellishment''

i meant for marginal calls. read's elbow was a glancing blow to the head at like half speed. suspendable if they want to get that out of the game like the say, but based on history, it's not that surprising.

seabrook freight trained a star player in the head and left him wobbly, forcing him out of the lineup. they didn't have a choice on that one.

Nothing that has been mentioned above comes even close to Seabrooks hit from behind...rags fans are embellishing all of this IMO.

Scheduling a Flyers vs. Rags series is always a challenge. MSG and Wells Fargo are two of the busiest arenas in the world.

Can you imagine what it would be like if the flyers win tonight

It will be heaven for 5 minutes until bettman makes the team play in 48 hours...what a tool!
