When these refs will barely call a thing…it’s no wonder that the players feel the need to settle things with their fists. Then that’s exponentially more drama for the refs to misinterpret the league’s way. It’s a despicable dereliction of duty, if you ask me. This league totally invites more violence & drama out there, at this time of year. In fact, it’s their professional team sports niche! All of the other top-grossing professional team sports leagues have zero tolerance for fighting.

Those were thrown punches, better pull off some players or you’ve lost control of this one, stripes!

There ya be! A slashing call! Ya think?!!! It’s about time zebras! Just do your freakin’ jobs, because there’s an NHL rulebook out there somewhere, after-all.

Hmmm. Could this possibly be the most ballsy deployment of the “rope-a-dope” strategy in a SCup-Final series - EVER?

And to reset the lads that are playing in front him…like the Canucks reset post-Green. Momentum is a curiously odd & mysterious thing sometimes.

Bring it on! Make it one for the record books!

Lay it on! Don’t take your feet off the gas, fellas! Good habits are good habits. Own ‘em!

What’s the record for the most goals scored in a Stanley Cup Final game?

I know….even the best have an off night, usually proof that rest is required. What’s up with this?

Elliot Friedman & Craig Button are neck & neck awful while campaigning to become the next Don Cherry, as the wearers of the most ridiculous suits!

I thought NY had far more than one or two gimme opportunities that they shouldn’t have missed. The scoring chances were there for them, tonight. Dig deeper & battle harder to win the next one, Rags! The pendulum of luck swings back & forth…hoping that luck shifts the Rangers’ way & quickly.

Motte is a smart player, too. Trustworthy with an impeccable work ethic. We of Canucks’ Nation - would like him back!

Oh man, Motte! Way to give ‘er out there!! 3 Cheers!!!

And…what the heck are we all going to do tomorrow night, in that Stanley-Cup-play-off-game shadow?

Schucks…the series is now tied.

There’s one,…2 more please, Rags!

Are 3 fast Ranger goals even possible? Sorry - I forgot that these games aren’t like the ones in the Avs/Oilers series.

Motter bringing it! Atta-boy! Respect!

Wasn’t sure who I was cheering for in this one, but Zibanejad has stolen my heart, add Motter & I’m rootin for the Rangers…at least for this round. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been to the big dance plenty,…now they’re full.

…and depending upon what’s wrong with him, Kadri may not even play in the SCup Final. Makes ‘em even easier to root for. I like Zibanejad & Mott very much, too, so I won’t be too disappointed if they hoist the Cup either, but pleazzzze - let there be no 3-peat by the TBL.

Avs vs the Rangers it will be!

How many goals up were the Oilers when Smith got all scrambly & leaky again? Goal-tending is your issue EDM, as always.

Man was bent over - puck was at eye level, then…it’s good!

BEAUTY!!! Bye bye, Smith! Good night - Oil-cans! Officials called it a goal on the ice.

Let’s Go Avs!
