Basically you can either let them keep running your players or you can pull a Graves on Parise or Suter's wrist and see if they decide its not worth it to continue that path. Its so dumb.

Actually, surprised you haven't heard, Matt Cooke is reformed and that means you're supposed to pretend nothing he ever did previously can be held against him. He's pretty much a new player with a blank slate that should still be blank after tonight because he's a new player.

Well, there was a call and it was a major so help was allowed. That's what I'm asking, did the refs consult the videoboard (or fans) or did a linesman who didn't have his head up his ass rush in w/ the call?

I didn't see the game, just the video afterwards. Was it a late ref call or did a linesman come in to help? Either way, I have trouble getting too worked up over an obviously right call being made, especially in that instance.

In fact Keith takes the puck and clears the zone. It's only the fact that a scuffle started that the whistle blew. Then after all the co...

however, these facts do more to demonstrate how impotent the offense was last night using those tactics rather than the quality of akeson. and again, how well the rangers were able to move the puck in their own end and limit pucks (and players) from getting into the middle of the ice.

Thanks. Now I just have to learn what a Fenwick is. About the one-goal game thing, I would agree that hockey is probably less random than baseball. But still, if each team is getting 30 shots per game, there has to be a lot of randomness in whether those shots lead to 3 goals or 4. Also, it's great...
