So Buf beat Bost in OT (of course) so they now have an identical record to Philly with all having 91 points. We also have 91 but have a game in hand vs each of them. SO…..if we lose outright tomorrow night (not being negative, just saying if) we will all have identical records. I think we would still have the edge with our conference record(is that right?) or is it headto head vs opponent (boston would have edge over us, then us over philly?). I think it would all be a lot easier if Renney let us play to win not to not lose.

But Mara played some pretty sweet defensive plays today…goals don’t make the man all the time.

& seriously, boston better lose tonight in REGULATION!

I keep having recurring nightmares … Rangers will choke like the Mets choke …. Backman is Mota … Renney is Randolph ….

Why is Mara playing again? Mara has one goal … ONE … play Malik, sit Mara—- since Backman can’t do anything to be benched …. and play Staal on the powerplay ….

Recurring nightmare … Mets-Rangers.

yeah have a set of stones sam and write about how the penguins especially cindy crosby are babied by the referees…all these announcers and writers afraid that the nhl will shut them out if they criticize the almighty ones…...heck at least brooks has the nuts to say what he thinks….. throw emrick out, league stooge…...maguire is a shill for penguins…....who can take milbury serious??? he traded for yashin and made him captain——-end of credibility…...league needs to go back to one referee system because its painfully obvious that two just screw things up twice as much….plus leads to the inconsistent refereeing we see every night….not enough talent in referee pool today…....where is Mike Greaney when you need him????

I actually thought that the Sjostrom call was acceptable. It was a two handed chop down onto the stick, hard enough that you could hear the thwack. But the thing is, if they don’ blow the Hossa call, that call never happens.

â€œBe fair. The Hossa hooking call was the worst in the game by far.â€

Yes, but it was clearly a make up call for the non clal on his blatant hold of Callahan, which then turned into a 5 on 3 that led to the GWG. CLEARLY a make up call. In other words, had they not blown the first call on Hossa, they wouldn’t have had to make up for it with that lousy call later.

“Be fair. The Hossa hooking call was the worst in the game by far.”

Absolutly. Anyone who’s gonna say different is missing … lots.

pig – 3 posts after you told me I look too closely for it, proves my point.

Canes have good team speed, draws penalties.

Croby should be called for 3-4 diving penalties a game along with getting one misconduct for the 60 minutes of whining to the refs he does. The Sjostrom call was far worse than the Hossa call imo.
