No, it doesn't.

Well this is officially the worst officiated game I have seen in a day or two.

So you were fine with the Rupp push being called and the goalie interference call on Kreider when Anderson clearly initiated contact? And no problem with Neil kicking Richard's legs out or Foligno kicking Lunqvist's legs out with no call? This has been a horrendous game by the officials and it has been for both teams. I doubt they have much of an idea what can or can't be done out there.

Yes it does. If Chris Neil beats the Rags single handedly, shame on the Rangers.

The refs suck in general this year in the NHL. But putting the rags up 2 men in that situation on something that never happened was horrid. Just awful.

I was agreeing with Tucker Brian. He said it doesn't say much about the Rangers so I said "No, it doesn't". Shame indeed.

[theknuckler]

really dont care who wins this series, but the refs are f-in terrible this game. i wouldnt be surprised to see ottawa with a 5on 3 in the next few minutes.

edit: and so it begins...

[KiddYidd]

Damn right they want to play that way Neil, ya dumb fuk! You want to elbow that Giant Giraffe Boyle in the head, expect some kinda payback!

Fuk you Ottawa! Bring it home to the Garden boys!

[mikebflorida]

Fock Chris Neil. He got smoked on that hit. Karma you toothless turd.

[KnucklesNilan]

This game was hard to watch with all the penalties being called... what a way to ruin a series.

Exactly my thoughts. The officiating was terrible but how in the world do they put Ottawa down 2 men with an absolutely brutal goaltender interference call? That was the game changer and in my mind ruined what could have been a great finish to the game.

The Rags got a gift and did what they should have done and capitalized on the opportunity, you can't blame them for that.

Lundqvist also needs to quiet down. Hs temper tantrum after winning the game was pretty ridiculous.

To be fair the officiating was atrocious both ways tonight, as usual. Garbage goaltender interference calls on both Kreider and Foligno and dumb roughing calls on Rupp and Zach Smith as well. The second Ottawa goal happened because Neil speared Henrik out of the crease and the refs just missed it.

I have watched games from other series as well and I must say the nhl officiating throughout the playoffs has been nothing short of abysmal

Great series. Very close. The Rangers showed a lot of balls winning last night.

Lunq was righfully mad. He was pitchforked out of his crease and the puck was kicked in.

I guess the video was "inconclusive". haha.

still the Rangers deserved that game. should be a great game 7.

Officiating evenly poor.

How did you all like Neil faking it after taking a crunch from DelZotto? It would have been justice if DelZotto would have gone full speed with an elbow or a butt end of the stick to Neil's head e.g. give Neil what he did to Boyle. I like what they are doing to Neil. Neil has the rest of his hockey life, especially pre-season to deal with Ranger enforcers fighting and team hitting him until he begs for mercy .

Rangers deserved the game .

[smashem]

Rags should take this tonight my only hope for a Flyers/Rags series in the Conf. finals

I dunno... I personally dont think Neil's hit on Boyle was bad... and certainly not a but end or elbow to the head!! DelZotto would get ended by Neil and probably even Spezza if he pushed too hard... Let's go Sens... Bounce these over-paid crybabies in NY... I wanna see Torts cry that pus sy!
