EC Playoffs Eastern Final: New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens

[Machiavelli]

WTF

Darn

[Looch City]

"and the Canadians are back in the series!"

hahaha, no.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

At least it's a series now. If the Rangers won it was series over.......might as well make it entertaining.

Apparently Tokarski was the right call tonight.

[Canuck-Hater]

Wow. I hate Montreal so much. Lucky. Why are they so lucky? it makes no sense!!

[foshizzle11]

fluky goal! go habs!

The series is 2-1. They are absolutely back in it.

[GirlySports]

it was all flukey goals tonight

[To Be Quite Honest]

BOOOOOO!

Habs win makes it more entertaining, and we don't want New York well rested. At least Habernac gets to be happy. He seems like a good dude... Minus the Hab fan stuff.

[Canuck-Hater]

Montreal's strategy is get dominated and hope for a bounce...

[trackercowe]

Rangers kinda got hosed. Prust should have got five and a game for the hit.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Canadiens still cannot do anything offensively. Can they really expect Tokarski to do that 3 more times? Vanek is costing himself a lot of money.

[direwolf]

Well that was a crappy result. Habs actually have hope now, and that's not good for anybody. Hopefully the Rangers can finish this thing off in 5 or 6.

Huh? No contact with the head at all. Two minutes for interference.

Nice of you to show up, was wondering where the Habs fans were. He raised his elbow and knocked him out well after the puck had passed. He easily could have been tossed for such a malicious hit.

You would have already been on the phone with the police had it happened to your Habs.

He's likely going to get a game or two for it. Definitely a missed call.

[EldrickOnIce]

Habs easily deserved to win game 2. They did not deserve to win tonight.
C'est la vie

Excuse me for having to work late.

It was shoulder to chest. Stepan's clearly not injured, so no major. Two minutes for interference.

[Flamenspiel]

Stepan went down as if to draw a major and then came right back on the ice, he did not even miss a shift. Kind of like soccer embellishment to draw a red card. I agree it was an interference penalty at the most. Prust was great for the Habs, one the worst trades Sutter ever made.

[BlackWallStreet]

Rooting for the team that plays the Canadian anthem at the beginning. Go habs!

Have you even seen the hit? How the hell was he embellishing a cheap hit like that? Should he have stayed down on the ice for a longer period of like like most of the Habs probably would have.

Per Kerry Fraser:

Kerry Fraser @kfraserthecall
I disagree with NBC analysts that Prust interference was not a major. Late, blindside & high degree of contact violence. See rule 56.4.

I missed the game working late, find out it's going into OT on my way home and the second I sit down in front of the TV they score.

We're cursed for OT's since the first round.
