- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
I'm sure you don't. Obviously, the Devils committed zero penalties tonight and just got screwed by the refs.

Rangers FINALLY got to the slot. Schmid is so big that if hes set and squared up hard to beat him. Make that guy have to move tho? Yahtzee
Not trying to be a pain (really). But every hockey fan focuses on the calls that don’t go their way while looking past the calls that favor them. That’s all this was tonight.
I am enjoying the win, but will push back against officiating gripes. Especially when it wasn’t that bad.
Game 7 could go either way. What more could we ask for….another Rangers/Devils playoff series going the distance.
No not what I said at all. I just would have liked to see what would have happened, if they called it evenly.
Come on the crosscheck by the Ranger on Timo right before 2-1. Again it is only my opinion, Good Night!
Have to be willing to go to the middle; especially in the playoffs. It's a big reason why Panarin's game goes south when space is limited. Hoped he might have learned that last year.
He took some bad penalties tonight, and I think both were O-zone, so not necessary.
YES, we see this differently. Tonight it was too obvious home cooking. We didn't play well, so even if they were consistent, the Rangers may have very well won. I'm annoyed as a fan, that that close game was affected.
If the Rangers beat us, because we didn't score on the power play fine. If the NJD crosscheck for instance multiple NYR with no call, while they are giving the Devils 4 PP in quick succession, I think all you Ranger fan's would feel this way.
On to Game 7!

Could just be gamesmanship but hank and vally are questioning schmid on msg postgame right now. Saying he looks real rattled and shaky
Yeah, he's probably just an average ECHL goalie at best when his career is done. Overrated.
No I'm not, there were multiple cross checks by your team not called right in front of the ref. The only Devil penalty that I think they should have let go like they did when Tatar and Meier got crosschecked in front of the ref, was the Kane trip on Mercer's stick. This whole time all I was saying, is I wish they called a consistent game. If you are going to call a lot, even it out. If you are going to let stuff go on, in front of you, after the whistle, call the same game the other way.
Hey result probably would have been the same, but it would have been a better game to watch.
Good Night.

I think the news is the devs legitimately having to make a decision on who to put in net for game 7
There's ZERO decision. Akira's the guy. Why Lindy took him out in the 3rd. clear his head.

Hank and vally beg to differ. Ones a hall of fame goalie, the other is former nhl goalie and now runs a hockey analytics site.

Vally cheered when the Devils won the 2019 draft lottery, thought Kakko was better than Jack. He's a biased assclown.
Cause they haven't followed the Devils all season. Schmidt is the guy. There's very little debate.
Great rebuttal, thank you for providing such convincing arguments to change my mind.
Devils missed their shot tonight, Game 7 should look favorable for Rangers because right now the Devils are just not getting scoring from anyone outside a few, but most especially not out most of their top 6 (Nico, Bratt, Timo, etc....). Even Jack has been held in check for most of this series.
Igor will be the difference maker Monday night.

- Will Nico or Maier ever score a goal? Nico is tough to watch. Maier is at least shooting on goal and being aggressive. Nico sets a bad example as a captain in m opinion. Way too soft.
- Ryan Graves was awful. Needs to up his game. Bahl needs to regain his mean streak. Devils forgot to contain Kreider again a la games 1 and 2
- Ref calls in Game 6 were very questionable.
- Thought Devils got too cute in first period and can they please stop committing penalties in offensive zone game after game
- Rangers regained their mojo without question
- Ruff is 0-4 as a HC in Game 7's. He has a decision to make as goalie.
- Shisterkin was terrific again

He should stick to goaltending, which he is knowledgeable about. The analytic company he started, Clear Sight Anaytics, has advanced the evaluation of goaltending quite a bit compared to the basic goaltending statistics the NHL compiles.

You said stats about elimination games dont mean anything. In otherwords the most high pressure games in sports are like preseason games. Its very funny. LOL

Nico is softttt. Just flops around trying to draw penalties thats all hes good for. Meier flops alot too but at least tries to be an agitator.
Creating something more to talk about. The kid will start game 7.
I've only been reading this thread since the playoffs started but if there's one thing that's pretty clear it's to expect the unexpected in this series because who knows what's gonna happen.
I’m starting Vitek in game 7. 1) Because I expect him to play like he’s got something to prove (which he does). 2) Because Schmid looked like an AHL G in game 6. 3) If I’m losing game 7, I’m doing it with the experienced guy that led us all season, not the inexperienced guy who had his moment in the Sun and is crashing back down to reality.
