I very rarely will ever say this, and it’s already making me throw up in my mouth a little, but just for tonight…

LET’S GO RANGERS

I want the extra rest. Then I hope NJ wins game 7. 

Meier just had 2/3’s of an open net and missed.

Rangers up 3-1 in the 3rd.

Toronto finally makes it out of the 1st round by beating Tampa Bay in OT.

Since the rags and devils are likely going to game 7, anyone want to take a stab what day R2 will start for us?

I bet that was a good game to watch  for the Toronto fans.

Game 7 is Monday night. I'm guessing Thursday night is when Round 2 will start.

I watched the 1st period and it was a very physical game. They were chirping in pre-game warm-ups.

Yes, it the time of year when the players get tougher and games get rougher.

God I hope the devils win game 7. Not because I think we have a better chance of beating them - just that I can't stomach losing to the rangers again and their annoying ass fans.

Make sure we are sending all of our positive thoughts out to the Panthers and devils the next two nights

The FIX was in. 

After the 1st period, the Referees took it upon themselves to proceed to swallow their whistles for one side and call penalties for the other.

Rags got away with murder a ton including Shesterkin who INTERFERED with a Devils player on TWO separate occasions with no call. 

 

It was only until the Rags were firmly in control that the Refs proceeded to call Penalties per usual.

 

This was an absolute farce of a game by the on-ice officials.

If someone had told me there was a conspiracy by the NHL, ESPN, and ABC to maximize profits by ensuring there's a Game 7, I'd believe that person.

You are talking to the home team of all home teams that get screwed by the refs.

Then hopefully my Devils rebound and get it done on Monday night so the refs have no choice but to call a Canes/Devils Playoff Series fair since the NY buttmonkeys won't be there anymore.

I missed the latter half of the game. How did Shesterkin interfere?

I was too angry at the game to watch it anymore so I probably missed that.

I only got this info for those who chose to continue to watch that farce.

they didn't say how he interfered.   Just that he did so it could be anything from him shoving a Devils player (Probably this) or just "accidentally on purpose" getting in the way that had zero to with making save/playing the puck.

I didn't see any of the game, but couldn't help but notice when I checked in on The Score that the Rags had 4 power plays before a penalty was ever called on them. And 3 of those were in the first.
