Stanley Cup Final: Rangers vs. Kings

[ifmanis5]

Nice piece of skill by Doughty.
 
The only socially acceptable situation to use a fanny pack- trainer for an NHL team.

 

[johnmd20]

Hags on a breakaway, gets his legs taken out by a dive. No call. That was suspect.

 

[FelixMantilla]

That is one ugly looking cut.

 

[ForceAtHome]

Hags on a breakaway, gets his legs taken out by a dive. No call. That was suspect.

 
Clifford got the puck first before tripping Hagelin. That's not a penalty.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol, Doughty told the ref to "shut the fuck up."

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
Clifford got the puck first before tripping Hagelin. That's not a penalty.

 
Right call, but I still don't like the rule. If you dive in front of someone's path, it should be a trip regardless of puck contact imo.

 

[johnmd20]

Stepan is simply unwilling to shoot. What the eff?

 

[johnmd20]

 
Clifford got the puck first before tripping Hagelin. That's not a penalty.

 
Come on, if you can just attack the puck with your body like that, why doesn't everyone do that? He swept the leg. That's a trip. 

 

[cshea]

Clifford made contact with the puck and broke up the play before making contact with Hagelin. That is not a trip. On those types of plays you can haul the guy down so long as you make contact with the puck first, which Clifford did.

You're right. I'm just angry.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Looking forward to a great third period.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Shouldn't it be one or the other? A dive OR a hook?

 

[Murderer's Crow]

This crowd is terrible. You would never think this is a big market finals. I can't believe how quiet it is.

 

[johnmd20]

This crowd is terrible. You would never think this is a big market finals. I can't believe how quiet it is.

 
It really sounds quiet, but that might be the sound mixing.
 
That shouldn't have been a penalty on Nash.

 

[cshea]

Ryan Kesler gives Doughty's dive a 10. 

 

[Murderer's Crow]

It's not. look at them, they might as well have their hands folded.

 

[SawxSince67]

Looked like Nash did tug at Doughty a bit, not enough for the 360 Doughty performed.

 

[ForceAtHome]

 
Come on, if you can just attack the puck with your body like that, why doesn't everyone do that? He swept the leg. That's a trip. 

 

Come on, lots of players do that exact play. From the rulebook:
 

 
If, in the opinion of the Referee, a player makes contact with the puck first and subsequently trips the opponent in so doing, no penalty shall be assessed.

 

[ifmanis5]

This crowd is terrible. You would never think this is a big market finals. I can't believe how quiet it is.

It's the sound of clueless non-hockey fan celebrity posers texting on their cell phones, so obviously it's quiet.

 

[SawxSince67]

The glass slapping seems to be rampant here. I never understood it.

 

[SidelineCameras]

The glass slapping seems to be rampant here. I never understood it.

It's the hockey equivalent of Thunder Sticks.

 

[johnmd20]

The glass slapping seems to be rampant here. I never understood it.

 
For some reason, you can really hear it. Usually it's muted a little bit. It's annoying, no question.

 

[johnmd20]

Rangers have about 4,872 turnovers in the last 30 minutes.

 

[SawxSince67]

Nash overthinking it.

 

[ifmanis5]

Bruins-level dumb penalty.

 

[ifmanis5]

Holly sheeeeet.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Holy shit

 

[cshea]

Well that was quite a sequence. 

 

[SawxSince67]

Cardiac stuff here.

 

[ForceAtHome]

Awesome sequence. Bonus hockey!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Holy shitballs.

 

[LogansDad]

That was a crazy last 60 seconds.  Playoff OT is rarely a bad thing.

 

[cshea]

Kings emptied both barrels that period outshooting NYR 20-3. They're controlling even strength, let's see if they can break through. 

 

[cshea]

Game 1 going to OT is giving me Kaspars Daugavins flashbacks. 
 
Sigh. 

 

[johnmd20]

The Rangers are stuck in the mud. They are lucky it's OT. Hags almost buried one and then he followed that up by almost burying one on Hank.

[Ed Hillel]

Why is Frodo announcing this over Doc?

 

[ifmanis5]

Why is Frodo announcing this over Doc?

Doc has a death in the family.
 
And suck it, Rags.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Girardi fucks up.

game, Kings

 

[ForceAtHome]

Big Game Player.

 

[LogansDad]

Nice pass, Rags

 

[cshea]

Who turned that puck over? Holy crap was that awful. 

 

[FelixMantilla]

Nice play Girardi.

 

[Nomar813]

Everything's coming up Milhouse. At least, since Milhouse got bounced from the playoffs by Nelson on doucheroids.

 

[86spike]

Does Girardi get an assist?

Epic fuck up.

 

[cshea]

Yikes, Girardi. 

 

[johnmd20]

Nightmare loss for the Rangers. 

 

[NYCSox]

Cool. One down, three to go.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Terrible game for Girardi. CLEAR THE FUCKING puck.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fell, then passed it to the wrong team. Oops.
