Call the WAMbulance because they just released another article this afternoon.
2014 Stanley Cup finals -- Rangers coach Alain Vigneault calls Game 3 as close to must-win as team can have - ESPN
From article:
"I know they came back from a two-goal deficit again last night, but their third goal [when Los Angeles winger Dwight King might have interfered with New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist on the play] you can look at it any way you want, but at the end of the day that shouldn't have been a goal in my opinion," Vigneault said. "They got three chances in the third if you count that one, and two of them went in and we were a little bit unlucky. We were playing really solid and sometimes stuff like that happens. I believe it's going to even out, and I believe we're going to win the next game."
Vigneault later said: "And then ... right before they scored the winning goal in double overtime, a lot of people seemed to think that we should've been on the power play. [Los Angeles defenseman Alec Martinez] flipped the puck out of the zone [and into the stands]. Instead of having a faceoff in the offensive zone, we should've had a faceoff going on the power play and we didn't. Those are the things that happen in playoff hockey. Usually they even themselves out and that's what we're gonna hope moving forward."
Kings erased four 2-goal deficits (2-0 in Game 1, and then 2-0, 3-1, and 4-2 in Game 2) over two games, but one of them had some controversy. Also, Alain feels that they should have been awarded their 3rd Power Play of OT, which are reasons his team lost. This guy reminds me of Dave Tippett now. His Phoenix team dove all the Western Conference Finals in 2012 and then he had the audacity to call the Kings out for it, saying it was bad for the game.
*Some pretty funny comments on that link with Montreal fans calling out Rangers on goalie interference after Kreider ended Carey Price's season in Game 1.
