Lets Go Rangers! 2011-2012 season thread

Ottawa definetly dominated the first 12 minutes or so....great timeout by Torts. Changed everything...Rangers controlled the rest of the period.

[b_joseph]

Nuts, it really felt like Ottawa was dominating that period.

Totally agree. Luckily for us, the best player on the ice wears #30 in blue. Hopefully we play a good 8-10 minutes to start this 3rd period and ease our way to a 1-0 lead.

That was a good TO by Tortorella.

Who is more inept?

NFL officials
NBA officials
NHL officials
MLB umpires


I call it a four way tie. lol

Just got in, been getting text updates for the first two.

Has the officiating really been as bad as I was told?

Yes...maybe even worse. IMO it was the most one-sided officiated period of hockey I've seen all year. Thats saying alot but I think its true. They simply are ignoring blatant hooks and trips on Ottawa. Neil has been getting away with nonsense all game.

[AMYanks]

Pretty much what I expected. Ottawa's skating is giving them trouble for stretches, but they're forcing them to take weak shots and Lundqvist has been terrific.

Anisimov has been our most consistent skater tonight. Very happy to see him play so well.

Richards!

4 zip!

[dabomb2045]

Hags with the great setup to Richards

[dabomb2045]

Nice job by Rupp to get Neil off for 10 minutes....doesnt give him a chance to goon it up down 4 goals

[b_joseph]

I'm happy that the 3d period played out like that. It should give the coaches a chance to drum it into the players that you can give up goals in a hurry if you dont focus for 60 minutes.

Oh and 15....

That Gabby goal was a thing of beauty.

From last night's Bruin's game:

My roommate works for the TD Garden and wants the Bruins and Celtics eliminated ASAP so he can have more free time. I'm going to give him credit for that hit on Krejci.

Pretty cool photo recap of the season.

Supposedly the coaching staff told Kreider to closely watch Hagelin all game long....how he uses his speed with the puck, but also without the puck i.e puck pursuit and just flying around trying to make plays. Good call, because Hagelin was awesome last night doing just that. The steal and setup to Richards was a thing of beauty.

Would like to see Kreider take Mitchell's place...
Now..

I think it will happen at some point. There's no way the org is burning a year of his ELC just to practice and watch games from the press box.

[SLURPEE]

I'm guessing we see him if the Rangers are up 3-0 in this series.

If not, the second round.

[GordonGecko]

Mitchell needs to take a game off so we can see what Kreider can do

[dabomb2045]

Jesus, these refs are so f*cking incompetent. Dubinsky gets tossed for no reason.

[Panamaniac42]

God forbid Dubi tries to help his defenseless teammate. Bad application of the third man in rule.

Absolutely. Third man doesnt apply because Boyle wasnt even doing anything other then lying on the ice getting punched.

[dabomb2045]

Ottawa's really trying to goon it up tonight
