Willy will be back, and Eller is still a question mark.. still waiting for possible line combos to be posted somewhere. It's a guess at this point.
-
No Eller tonight.
But, :pointdown:

I think you're gonna have to. Boys look flat again tonight.
-
yea, 0-11
-
Seen that coming. Wilson looks rusty. Been behind the play a few times already.
-
:O=
:clown: :poop:
-
I expected the Rags to come out fighting this game, but I wasn't execting them to have quite such a hard on for Willy.......
-

I wouldn't put all of that on Wilson. The Rangers won the faceoff cleanly and none of the Caps picked up a man.
Jensen lined up on the left boards and then chased Buchnevich to the middle of the ice. The defenceman that got the puck off the draw went right to the spot that Jensen had just left. That was where the problem was. No one picked him up.
Another issue is that Kuzy lost that faceoff so cleanly. Gotta do better on faceoffs than that. Atleast make the other team earn possession.

I'll take another look at that goal later. Maybe we can get a better look at it. But I think what happened is that the Rangers won the faceoff cleanly to the right defenceman and Tom Wilson went out to cover the pass across to the other defenceman. I think Wilson took the right guy and it looked like it was his fault because he was late getting back. I think it should have been someone else's man.

Crowd noise is a bit loud tonight, no?

Sammy is showing off his athletic ability.
-
Be funny if it was the Ovi show again in the 3rd........ :cross:
-
its like de ja vu all over again
-
Gonna shut us out again tonight aint they? Damn shutouts. Shutout. :raspberry:
At least we made their goalie move his arms a couple times that period. :clown: :poop:
-
Suppose a shorty's out of the question?
-
That was a dumb penalty.
-
the player wasn't prevented from playing the puck as it already passed by, hence its not interference.
Cross checking I buy, but not interference
-
Mr Norris with the rebound
:)
-
Yipppppeeeeee!
-
That whole sequence was initiated by a great steal by Dylan. Well done. :clap:
-

It could have been either call. You are not allowed to hit a player that isn't playing the puck. The puck wasn't close so yes calling it interference wasn't incorrect.
But I would have called it crosschecking.

That was a fantastic shift.

It's off! iit's off!!!!!! :uh-huh:

Meh. :-|

Bugger.

if that was the Caps there would've been a penalty

It should have been a penalty. It was the slash on the leg that knocked him off balance.

I guess I'm gonna have to hit the second bottle now
-
Sammy was the only reason we had a chance anyway. Been out played 2 games in a row, finally caught up.
-
Fuck. The Rangers have played us tough this year.
-
Oh well.
Night all. :yawn:

I didn't think we got out played tonight. Pretty even game.

now we gotta have that taste in our mouths for four fukin days

I thought it was pretty even, after the 35 minute mark. 1st period and a half I don't recall their goalie needing a stick or a glove. And then there's the PP.. :-\
Can't win em' all, I get it. Just bummed we scrapped back again and lost it in the last 2 minutes of regulation..

Only 3 and a half more fukin days! :)

IF you make a physical play WITH YOUR STICK against a player that leads directly to an advantage (or scoring chance) it should be a penalty. You could have called it slashing or cross checking or even hooking or whatever, but it lead directly to the goal. The game deciding goal with 2 minutes to play.
Dillon could have played it better, could have just pushed it to the boards but the Z man hooked/pushed Dillon with the stick throwing off his balance then cross checked him essentially taking him out of the play and then took the puck and scored. Dillon is no powder puff either so it wasn't just a love tap.
Z man took advantage of a player by using his stick against him. I don't know when that is not a penalty except with a simple lift check.
Accidental or intentional, if you get your stick into a guy's skates and he trips...it's a penalty. Your slash his hands...penalty. You slash his legs and he falls...penalty. You slash his stick and he drops it....penalty. You cross check a guy in the crease and he falls to the ice...penalty.
I'm totally cool with using your size, speed, skill, whatever to knock a guy off the puck and take it from him, but if you use your stick to push a guy off balance, and then cross check him and that leads directly to a scoring chance (ahem GWG in a tie game with 2 minutes left)....That's a fucking penalty!
Make that play 2 minutes into a scoreless game, maybe then okay I can live with no call, but even then if it leads directly to a scoring chance....have to call it.
Oh wait...this was the Rangers player against the Caps? Oh never mind. That's not a penalty, then....even if it decides the outcome of the game. :-|
Caps didn't really play their best game of the year, but far from their worst. Losing it on a bad play just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Looks bad on the refs and the NHL.
-
According to the score board, had we been down a goal at the time, it would of definitely been a penalty. :clown: :poop:

Only 3 and a half more fukin days! :)
Pretty sure I'm rinsing that taste tonight :wackysmile:
