ECF: (4) Montreal Canadiens vs (5) New York Rangers

[MRAY]

Montreal lost this game all by themselves end of story

Yes, theres no doubt about that. Horrible PP.

[Neversummer]

Sad to see ... this could have been an exciting series.

[Go Faulk Yourself]

Only goal Lundqvist let in was a complete misread on his part, other than that, he was perfect.

[Kakanucks]

so who do they start in gm 3?

do they switch to budaj??

I didn't think goaltending was a problem, lundqvist has just been amazing

[THERETOOL]

that was depressing .. montreal looks deflated

O'Halloran giving the American team assistance as per usual didn't help.

[Apples]

Considering the amount of comebacks this year in the playoffs, I wouldn't count the Habs out yet

[Lychees]

Yeah it was also ridiculous how Therrien was gushing about how special of a team they have just because they came out of the second round..Like come on you are only half way to the ultimate goal, keep yourself and the team grounded.

Reminds me of 2011 when we beat CHI first team and we celebrated as if we had just won the cup, except we went all the way to game 7 of the SCF.

I think Montreal's done barring a HUGE miracle comeback

Tokarski was a bit shaky at the beginning in my opinion, but he settled down nicely. The goalie at the other end is just too elite. I'd stick with him for the rest of the series. Switching goalies could prove more troublesome.

[Salmonberries]

Was only calling that hit a minor acceptable? Yes or no?

I thought Emelin was guilty embellishment.there, as he's been known to do. He's fine, and I'm I'm okay with a minor on that play.

[King Heffy]

O'Halloran giving the American team assistance as per usual didn't help.

How the hell is this clown employed, let alone working the semifinals? The NHL can't seriously expect fans to believe that he's the best they could come up with.

[Salmonberries]

Well I enjoyed that so much that I'd like to do it again on Thursday!

[ftmN]

From what I saw of that game it looked like only Subban showed up for Montreal

[Go Faulk Yourself]

Well I enjoyed that so much that I'd like to do it again on Thursday!

Agreed. Was nice to watch.

Like you say it's like the NHL wants to make the fix look more obvious.

[Dragonfruits]

Like you say it's like the NHL wants to make the fix look less obvious.

there is no fix no conspiracy Canadiens lost this game all by themselves end of story stop complaining about the refs

[Tearloch7]

Great game by Rangers, especially Hendrik .. Hab's look gassed .. too many passengers.

You're wasting your time typing. Don't bother. You won't get through to these kind of people.

[King Heffy]

Letting O'Halloran officiate a game makes it blatantly obvious the game is fixed though.

How can we not complain when the favouritism towards the Rangers gets more and more apparent each game?
