2023-24 NHL Season Thread.

[draynay]

the sad part is that they have a rule where they coulda just waived off the goal and taken a faceoff in the neutral zone with no penalty

Were I without bias, this would be what I would think to be the correct call. Of course I am biased, so all calls that let the Kings score are correct!

[Blueobelisk]

I wanna see overtime. Good luck NYR.

Was there any chance this wouldn't go to OT?

[Zeoni]

<3 OT in the cup finals. Fucking awesome spectator series so far, I'd be a mess if I was a Rangers fan right now.

[draynay]

It's nice to have a stupid referee decision go the Kings way for once, though that is no consolation to the Rangers fans. I suppose I can't be too mad if the Kings can't pull this one out, they're lucky to even have the chance.

this post-season has been exhausting lol

[PickleballAce]

Probably should have sent them both off there.

[Zeoni]

hey they found a use for nash, quality dive

[draynay]

NHL refs man, they let a million of those plays go, but then when Nash flops all over the place they call a penalty. Why do they have to constantly encourage that sort of behavior?

FUCKING SELL IT LUNDQVIST

[PickleballAce]

Wouldn't that have been something if New York lost a goalie to injury.....heh.

[Zeoni]

Holy fuckkk he had him beat!

Kreider you missed the goalie :"(

[Blueobelisk]

Double OT. :O

[Reg]

It's the only thing he's done since the first 30 seconds of the game lol Probably a penalty only for the fact that watching a dude Nash's size go down flustered the ref. Definitely sold it lol

Nash's dive was awful, but lundqvist took an elbow to the head. There was nothing to sell, even if he was out of the game it would have been a 2 min pp.

Mcdonagh just won an oscar. Best dive i've seen this playoff.

Still bitter that the Habs couldn't get by them then?

They did. Talbot is injured.

[Blueobelisk]

........Ouch.

[Reg]

No chance at all for Hank. Just a shame that it shouldn't have even gotten to this point.

[Deleted]

Let the whining begin.

[Reg]

Let the whining begin.

...really? Like... really?!

[Alusen]

Game should never have even gotten to O.T.. The inconsistency of the refereeing throughout this game was atrocious though.

[PickleballAce]

I meant injured by another team.

Looked more like a shoulder on shoulder from an awkward angle more than an elbow to the head imo. Hank oversold it, it was a penalty from the getgo. Surprising to me that a goalie can't take a hit but pops back up just fine once Carter is safely in the penalty box.

What a series so far, we've been blessed these playoffs I'd say. It ain't over till both teams have played at home, New York could just as well win 2 in a row in their own barn and I hope they do. They've proved they can compete with the Kings but just like everyone else, can't keep them down for the count. Both goalies played great and made a ton of clutch saves in those OT's despite letting in 4 in reg.
