Dodgy post shot call on Kindl to give the preds a PP after letting all their cheap shots go...

No calls on the preds and 2 lucky bounces and suddenly 2-2...s*** balls.

I kind of like this 1000 times. Though on balance I prefer 'Ghost Town'- used to have that one on cassette... On topic...at least we can take comfort in the fact that thanks to you-tube his spectacular ignorance will haunt him for the rest of his life. Which is always fun when looking at the leafs... On the broader topic...I would advice anyone who castigates Mandela for his political approach should A - contextualise it a little more & B - acknowledge that someone who manages to pretty much single-handedly inspire a nation to avoid a blood bath of perpetual civil war and reprisal and embody the the cause of reconciliation in a manner almost unheard of across Africa despite his life experiences up to that point giving a lot more prompting for damoclesian vengeance can probably be forgiven for acts of non-fatal property based terrorism against a state that routinely murdered large portions of its own people that happened 35 years previously. De Clerc deserves huge credit too.

I was watching MSG...have to say, fair play to the Rangers announcers for being so much more even handed than most of the opposition I hear. They even mentioned that MSL may have accentuated the call near the end. Such a breath of Fresh air after listen to Chicago and Pittsburgh commentary

Brilliant PK work

Don't see the high stick on that replay...hit St louis but nowhere near the head...embellishment...bulls***y

Quincy Cretin...changing the rules so Brassard can be on...and too many men when Miller is injured..hmmm

Again and again...the officiating in the NHL is of a spectacularly amateurish level compared to other major sports, It is so inconsistent that its hard for casual fans to be sure what the rules are or know what's going on and it turns them off. Hell I've been watching ice hockey for 20 years and I still can't tell when the f***-bags in the middle are going to make calls or not....and absolute joke in terms of consistency and professionalism, and there are so many games I've watched over the past 5 years where the officials have decided the outcome more than the players. Apart for Bettman's golden boys, I don't even think its bias, just incompetence. That said, wings were good again tonight, and if they can maintain those energy and skill levels, they'll be a lock for the playoffs

Getzlaf trips kronwall with the most blatant hook/trip ever...teh stripes let it go...goal duck....******* cheated again. disgusting....we've totally outplayed them and then get f***ed up the arse by a pathetic bit officiating.

How can that not be interference...twice now a wing has been cross checked waiting for a puck to drop out of the skies....wings totally outplaying ducks, but can't quite get there..

Great goal by Goose and a great assist by Kessler...dammit

To be fair, considering that the wings are currently icing Dats, Zatta, Franzen, Ericsson, Helm, Nyquist, Quincey (talking draft only), Andersson, Nesty - the highest of whom was a third rounder...and also tats, Howard & Jurco in the 2nd, with Sproul, Oullette, Backman, Jensen, Mrazek, Athanasiou, Marchenko, Pulks, Callahan all 2nd round or (mostly condsiderably) lower drafting really isn't something wings fans can complain about. Sure we miss a few goodies, but seeing as pretty much the entire roster were players turned down by almost every other team at least once (and usually much more) lets not feel sorry for ourselves. As for Kindl specifically, the guy has size and for the most part the requisite technical ability...he just doesn't have the game intelligence, bravery or speed of thought, These are usually things that come with experience rather more than has been the case with him. You look at the tools and its easy to see why he was picked where he was. Stick the mentality, drive and improvement rates of a helm, nyquist or even Callahan in him and you'd have the kind of player you'd feel good about spending a late 1st on. In fact if you could stick Almquist's game brain and confidence into Kindl, you would have the offensive 2nd pair man to drool over. But he'll always be a 6/7 here as he lacks the personal confidence, the coaches confidence and the comparative intestinal fortitude to stick. Its understandable...I wouldn't have the physical courage to play in the NHL. He could do a quincy and flourish in the right system...We just have to hope that a few overtly offensive teams lose some D to medium term injuries ...

Bryzgalov is streaky, but a good back up, and like many russians is far far funnier than most NA sportsmen. He's a little crazy, but I get the impression he gets bored hanging out with stupid jocks!

Chara gets pinged for stealing Howard's stick...Prick

So boston is allowed to retaliate when Red wings aren't? Careless hit by franzen there....

Boston clutching and grabbing like the old days, but refs don't want to give the calls too one-sided i Guess. Bruins look tired but also deeply lacking in imagination. Wings up and down, but should be up by 2 goals in this game.

Bruins goon it up, red wings get retaliation penalty

Wow that's an even softer penalty for the Bruins. Stripes making it clear who they want to win...only a minute or two earlier Glendenning was virtually mounted from behind by the B's d-man...Everytime I think I understand the rules of NHL the refs make me question it...

Chara outed for being a dirty scumbag as per,.... Never penalty...guy was falling before the stick touched hi,=m

Shows again though, how much the wings, more than anything else still need more shooters. Just can't bury chances in the way that some of our rivals can.

Typical Bruins performance...ugly ugly ugly, but effective. I've never seen a team with talent dump it in so much

Bruins announcers are comical. Calling things and then sticking to their story despite clear as day video evidence to the contrary....twats

And the bulls*** call leads to a goal..never seen that before...

Does anyone else get as many bulls*** goalie interference calls as us...what a dive!

These Penguin's commentators are full of s*** as are the stripes...
