Stanley Cup Final: Rangers vs. Kings
- Thread starter ForceAtHome
- Start date
Rangers playing like 11 year olds right now. Not looking good. The refs haven't helped, obviously.
All LA here.
Shit call, but the entire period has been played in New York's end. Not a winning strategy.

I can't envision a scenario where this series doesn't end tonight anymore. I didn't want the Rangers to win, but I wanted the series to go longer than this.
Get the lead back Rangers, I want two more games, I'm not ready for the season to end.
Playoff hockey is awesome.

I have no idea if it's real numbers or not. But the fact that it could be kind of makes the point anyway.FelixMantilla said:
I saw that tweet, thought that was absurd and decided to look at the box scores. It is wrong. It's like 70ish to 20ish Kings. New York outshot LA 11-2 in the 3rd period of game 3.The Napkin said:
Domination, but not to that extreme.
Third periods in this series (per ESPN box scores(
Game 1, 20-3
Game 2, 12-7
Game 3, 11-2
Game 4, 15-1
Game 5, 12-3
Game 1, 20-3
Game 2, 12-7
Game 3, 11-2
Game 4, 15-1
Game 5, 12-3
The 11-2 in game 3 was in favor of the Rangers. It's 61-25 in favor of LA. Bad, but not as bad.

Game 3. I can barely remember it. I blocked it out.
Even NBC is hammering the refs. That's good, at least. Changes nothing, but at least it makes me feel like I'm not going crazy.
That shouldn't have been a penalty on either guy. Jonesy is wrong, too. I watched that replay a dozen times and I don't see anything to suggest Muzzin stuck his leg out to trip Zuccarello. Muzzin moved to his right and caught then dropped the puck, the immediately moved left because he saw Zuccarello coming at him. His leg even pulls a little back and in to try and avoid the contact. If he did trip him intentionally, he's a fantastic multi-tasker: pinch to keep in while moving the puck deeper while tripping an opponent. Sure. Of course, it was still an awful call on Zuccarello.
He's not being used at even strength. Lowest ES TOI on the Rangers. I say play him. He's got a better chance of scoring that Derek Dorsett, Brian Boyle and the other plugs.johnmd20 said:
