Whether it mattered or not, the Flames having ZERO powerplays in this game is an absolute atrocity. I can't express how bad that game was on the refs part.
League should be ashamed. But of course not cause they don't care for the Flames and playoffs.

This game was a good example on how a cup contender should play. That was an excellent game by the Rangers. We really need to upgrade our D(top4) get a little heavier up front with some snipe and also upgrade the goal tending to be in cup contention IMO. It sounds like quite a bit but I think with Bennett, Porier and Ortio its a good start. Man Backlund was flying out there tonight.

Despite Glencross not playing well lately, they gave him prime time at the end of the game to try and be the scoring winger he believes he is, and he blew it. I know it was only one chance, but he really can't complain about not being given a chance.
The pass was too far ahead of him, so he missed wide right. If the pass was in his wheelhouse it would have been on net.
The refs missed a few calls, yeah. I expected a push back in the third from the Flames and we got it. Then we blow it by missing the net literally 5 feet away.
I'd be more inclined to blame it on a lot more than the refs. How many shots did we get in the 3rd before the final push? 2? 3?
Great effort at the end, but too little too late. Rangers completely dominated that game for the most part and deserved to win, bad reffing or not. Flames' playoff hopes are quickly disappearing. And just to rub salt in the wound, the stupid Canucks beat Boston 2-1.
Start playing with 3 minutes left in the game against one of the top teams in the league isn't good enough. Without Ramo playing amazing this one is a blowout. The whole team must have been hungover or something because that was a pretty pathetic game.
I know this is crazy, but I thought Hudler was very bad tonight. If he was a rookie, I don't think he would be playing next game. However, everyone was pretty bad tonight, and there is no time to dwell on this as we have a huge game tommorow night against the Devils.
Glencross missed the net in the final minute and quit fighting, moving his feet or even looking like he cared. Whether Treliving pulls the trigger before the next game or not, he shouldnt see the ice in critical moments. Lots of other guys that have more fight in them than Glencross.

Can't just wait until late in the 3rd before you play desperate hockey.
The reffing was definitely perplexing, not sure how the Rangers don't get a single penalty, but the Flames lost this game, not the refs. They need a better effort tomorrow.
Ramo was awesome.

A Nash-less, Lundqvist-less Rangers team, and the Flames can't take advantage. Ramo did his job. Just like that, the Flames have lost 4 in a row. Like someone in the GT said, if the Flames don't find an extra gear during this road trip, the playoff dream is out the door. This is not good hockey. No offensive pressure. Stop waiting until the last 5 minutes to do so!

Which is it?
For the record it's 2 in regulation, 1 in overtime.

Maybe because in even strength they're calling phanton fouls on US and meanwhile we don't get a single power play in a game where we should have had at least 8 minutes worth.
Hard to outplay a possession team when the whole game is 8 on 5.
