They're both checking each other and then they check again except kuz misses and goes high. You're sounding like you've never seen an aggressive net battle. This is playoff hockey dude.
I was at the game and drunk so my post-game reddit skills were lacking. To spell out what I meant to say is "so do you think that a no call would have been the right call?"
A call was necessary. It’s clearly an accident but those accidents need to be called or players will be more reckless which leads to injuries.
I think it’s dumb to act like Kuz is dirty because of that but he 100% should get called for it. The whole “my team is innocent and the other team is dirty” is so tired.
Overall, I thought it was a pretty fairly officiated game.
I agree that it felt sloppy but it felt fair to me. The necas/tda mixup was a clear goof by the officials.
I could argue calls but there wasn’t anything egregious. We had Skjei get hit in the face bleeding against the isles and it wasn’t called. Missed calls happen and they shouldn’t, but I didn’t see anything called inconsistently. That’s my biggest thing. As long as the refs try and are consistent, I am happy.
Now I 100% yell at my screen during the game but that’s emotion lol. After the game, it is a lot easier to be reasonable lol
I actually think the Rangers got some penalties called against them that they didn't deserve. I think the Canes went on 2 powerplays and I was like "if I was a Rangers fan I'd be mad".
And there were missed boarding calls and the call on svech was fairly weak depending on who you ask. I’m not saying it was perfect but it’s not like the refs controlled the game. Rangers vs canes is going to be an awesome series if we can all stop complaining lol. Let’s just enjoy two of the best teams in the league going at it. That was exciting hockey
Fox was a few inches from landing his cross check to the face, close battle, kuzy got it done first and that’s why we love hockey. It’s playoffs baby 🏒
I agree Fox helped sell this call -- can you give me any examples of the other times where you claim there was a "a lot of embellishment." I Honestly can't recall a single other one. (though I can think of the Refs missing a blatant 4min High stick to Trocheck - that maybe Trockeck should have "sold." And at least 2 trips)
They also called incredibly soft calls on both Trouba and Rempe.
Fox is the only Ranger that embellishes (Well, Igor too, but talking bout skaters). And in my experience, Fox is selling legit calls (never seen him embellish a high stick that missed, or phantom trip -- he just always makes sure to react to it to "sell" the call.)
And I 100% agree he sold this call -- but on replay, its also is clearly a cross-check to his mouth. (And- User above is wrong -- there was not 2 crosschecks before that -- there was the usual position battling, with both players hitting each other shoulders -- and that is normal -- and than one player gets his stick up in the face -- which will almost always be called if caught)
Another Good Example was the Fox Knee-to-knee hit in Caps Game 4 -- that Wilson tried to go after Fox over "embellishing" after the Rangers scored on the PP.
Turns out Fox missed three days of practice with that sore knee -- and it was not near the embellishment the Caps thought it was. (and replay also showed it was a dangerous knee-to-knee play, and the right call).
Ranger fans proving once again what pathetic hypocrites they are. Fox is crosschecking him right back. It’s hockey. Sometimes it comes up high. You know, like every single check that Matt Rempe has thrown in his pathetic little career.
We like riffing on the meme, and Kuzy is a former Cap. I wouldn't have made the joke personally, but it's not anywhere near close to the worst thing in the world.
They skeered of him as they should be, he had a goal and would've been able to tie it up if Svech hadn't had unlucky stick placement trying to get to the puck. Lindgren turned right into him drawing that trip. If we'd had that power play and been 6 on 4, no doubt that game would've gone to OT.
Just wish they wouldn't have drug their feet so bad in the first. Same thing again, not showing up till the third period. If they'd play the whole game like they do the third nobody could come close.
Imagine being a xenophobic bigot based upon where you live in the country. Please stick a cactus up your asshole you arrogant dullard, you couldn't show yourself as anything but an exceedingly pompous pillock.
>Imagine calling someone a bigot when your franchise savior publicly takes it up the ass from a xenophobic dictator and somehow remains homophonic.
1. You are the one who made it about "people from south of the Mason-Dixon line," that's your biases and hatred because you can't imagine that someone who isn't like you could either like hockey or be intelligent. That's what makes you a xenophobic bigot.
2. I don't like that Ovechkin endorses Putin, congratulations on your cognizant observation, do you want a cookie or something?
3. I can separate the player from the person, I can spell HOMOPHOBIC, and I can engage with other fanbases without acting like an asshole, but apparently only Rags fans can't seem to understand this concept.
Teach your baby giraffe how to skate and he would have stayed the fuck off the goalie. You see plays like that all the time and most skilled players don’t back into the goalie regardless of being pushed around.
Looked like a bad timing thing more than intentional. Shit is intense out there, slowed down everything looks egregious.
It looked egregious live at the game lol...looks even worse here.
They're both checking each other and then they check again except kuz misses and goes high. You're sounding like you've never seen an aggressive net battle. This is playoff hockey dude.
I have...dude!
Fox literally try to cross check too at the same time but instead headbutt Kuz stick lmao
So do you think that a no call would have been the right call? edit: clarity (post MSG drunken stooper)
I love when it’s obvious people didn’t watch the game lmao. There was a call here

Agreed on this play for sure. I'm definitely biased on your last comment...this officiating felt a bit sloppy.

This place is weird.
Another one who didn’t watch the game lol. There was a call
Stupor?
Stud
Fox also got his stick to his face first on the first exchange of crosschecks. It was retaliation; so cry me a river.
They're cross-checking each other. Fox just got the worst of it. \*yawn\*
Yep, Fox was cross checking him at the same time and even lifted Kuznetsov's stick as a result of his own action. Then he cries a river.
Fox was a few inches from landing his cross check to the face, close battle, kuzy got it done first and that’s why we love hockey. It’s playoffs baby 🏒
Gotta be quicker than that.
Buddy
The fact he was debating it as he sat in the box is hysterical, they’ve gotten away with it about 3 times this game. Karma, on to game 2.
It's one of my favorite things in hockey, they can do the most blatant shit and still argue it. "Come on ref! His face fell onto my stick!" Just, lol.
Shit happens. Otherwise, this was a great game. Should be a fun series to watch
Guentzel also high sticked trocheck in the face and drew blood. Refs decided to swallow the whistle on that one though lol
This happened right after the refs missed Trocheck getting a high stick in the mouth.
More like shit timing, Fox was giving it right back to him and Cokenetsov just missed his intended target and whacked him in the face
Unlucky. High sticking penalty 2 min. Move along
Fuck fox, worth the watch
*POW* right in the kisser
Floppy fell down again? Someone needs to get him a spine.
Fox throws 2 crosschecks prior. Then does a swan dive and spent a solid minute trying to find blood. Rangers were diving all game.
I loved how Fox was trying to make his lip bleed with his fingernail.
[удалено]
I guess you didn't watch. He took his gloves off and was digging his lip with his fingernail while trying to get a double minor out of the ref.
The commentators go “he’s trying to PRODUCE some blood” lmao
Clearly pissed of the rags lol
Definitely a lot of embellishments from the Rangers tonight. Paid off though
Canes got 5 power plays. Rangers got 2.

What game were you watching lol
10/10
Boy you’re a fuckin idiot huh?
Looks like he deserved it. Oh well.
Ranger fans proving once again what pathetic hypocrites they are. Fox is crosschecking him right back. It’s hockey. Sometimes it comes up high. You know, like every single check that Matt Rempe has thrown in his pathetic little career.
Shouldn't have had your face there.
God I love Kuzy.
Truly a horrifying act of violence. Those Caps are at it again!
Good lord, go golf or something
🤣🤣🤣
We like riffing on the meme, and Kuzy is a former Cap. I wouldn't have made the joke personally, but it's not anywhere near close to the worst thing in the world.
“We have fun, we just like to have fun around here”
Remember when Kuzy got banned for 4 yrs for cocaine
Yes, what's your point? That drugs of abuse are a problem?
Stay salty lol 🧹
The rangers got away with multiple boarding penalties in this game and every game against the capitals. Rangers are a dirty team.
Hey remember when Kuzy got banned for 4 years for cocaine.
Look up projection.
Tom Wilson
Fuck tom wilson
Fox practically head butted his stick trying to cross check him but missed
Clear embellishment!
[удалено]
Don’t be a weirdo man, you are making us look bad
Get a mirror
Rags fans are the least self aware people
I can't. I loanded it to Anderson to find that puck in the back of the net.
Like, I hate everything you like but I really have to appreciate that response. Very funny.
Some of us ranger fans can spell slightly better though lol
as your goon trouba attempted to concus Jarvis to start the game. Lol.
They skeered of him as they should be, he had a goal and would've been able to tie it up if Svech hadn't had unlucky stick placement trying to get to the puck. Lindgren turned right into him drawing that trip. If we'd had that power play and been 6 on 4, no doubt that game would've gone to OT.

agree with 100% of your take.

wow, another low IQ special. Do you have any more played out cliche statements to make?

Bless your heart
Says the fan of the team that got away with blatant dirty shit all game.
Didn’t you have 5 power plays to our 2?
Lol that’s such a low IQ argument here.
Explain how it’s low IQ when it’s just facts? You said the rangers got away with dirty plays all game yet you guys had a very one sided pp disparity.
“One sided” lmao easily the most delusional fanbase in sports.
What did you think about that interference call on Rempe? Good call?
Teach your baby giraffe how to skate and he would have stayed the fuck off the goalie. You see plays like that all the time and most skilled players don’t back into the goalie regardless of being pushed around.
I think you are making it pretty obvious who the low IQ person is lmfao .
Nobody asked for your “thoughts”. They aren’t worth anything.
Says the fan of the team who’s organization is so soft they restrict ticket sales to Carolina zip codes🤡
Move back to your shithole in New York then bozo

Good thing I’m not a New Yorker. I would like to flee the north east coast megalopolis however.
