Cross-checking innocent angel Derek Dorsett, who is great with kids

Probably won't have to worry about him in Game 6 after that headbutt.

No Dorsett, no Carcillo - the Rangers can probably cancel the shortbus rental for Thursday afternoon.

If I was a little boy in New York, my new hero would definitely be Derek Dorsett. He's a straight shooter, and knows how to instill life lessons. That kid skating around the rink thinks he's having the time of his life, sharing the ice with his idols. By spraying snow in his face, Dorsett gave him a reality check: "Don't reach for the stars kid, you'll never be one of us".

But he didn't stop there. He also showed everyone that when players get out of line, the solution is to headbutt them. Zinedine Zidane gave him a "glowing puck seal of approval" for that display of sportsmanship.

Nice little rant by the Rags' colour commentator about the Moore major penalty, if you can find it.

Nope, no difference at all between an actual malicious head shot and a missed interference minor that everyone shat their pants about.

My favourite thing watching the game was all the times they cut to Lundqvist sitting alone on his stool looking sad.


Also this was the first game I watched and I switched to Jeopardy after it was 3-1, then came back and it was 4-4, and only the Habs scored after, so I swear I will watch every minute of every single Habs game the rest of the playoffs.

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Goaltender Carey Price was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

(Luckily teammate and cool guy Zuccarello negates his shittery)

Willful ignorance can also make it look kinda like Bouillon knocks the kid over, so he should probably be removed from the lineup

If Prust got 2, Moore should get 3+ (5+ imo but I don't believe in the NHL system). I'd also look at Dorsett's potential headbutt but I think that's a much much tougher call to make as he moved his shoulder as well (aka it was not Zidane Heatbutt blatant)

What an rear end in a top hat. That's the kinda thing that really messes a kid up. Instead of being his big awesome moment being on ice with the pros he'll remember falling down on national television.

I still fondly remember getting to play a quick game during the intermission at a Canucks game as a little kid. Got an assist on the only goal, felt like I was on top of the world. :3: Takes a special kind of douchebag to ruin something like that for a little kid.

Habs only delayed the inevitable. Last time they lost in the East agains Philly in 5. This year it's gonna be against the rangers in 6. In a few more years against another team in 7. After that we're all gonna be dead due to some cataclysm and Habs won't ever go to the finals again.

Honestly, the Rangers should count their loving lucky stars that they are up 3-2 in this series, because the Habs easily could have won games 2 and 4. And to think, they allowed the Canadiens to win 2 loving games with an AHL goalie in net, after purposefully injuring the greatest goalie in the world. gently caress, if Price was in nets the entire series the Habs would have probably been in the finals by now but history will only look at the stupid scoreboards.

And wow, what a coincidence that poor poor Stepan was in the lineup tonight. After the devastating surgery he had to go through, what a brave brave little man he is to fight through the pain of such surgery and play in the series so soon. It's not like he and the Rangers have been cheating their asses off throughout the series, trying to gain whatever stupid edge they can gain. It's almost as if they made his surgery look much worse than it was so that Prust could get a bigger suspension.

Hopefully the assistant coaches can get a nice comfy seat at the next Habs practice in New York. I wouldn't want them to miss any coaching decisions Therrien makes.

If you toned it down a bit, it might be a believable that this is an opinion that someone has.

Well the Rangers did a whole lot of dumb, stupid, crappy, miserable poo poo things last night and looked loving stupid so I sure hope they don't do the same thing on Thursday and Diaz will probably have to be playing anyways.

On the plus side you can probably write off Bourque as a threat for the next couple of games since he blew his "usefulness load" all in one game.

Man it's one thing to lose a game it's another to look like a bunch of loving fools doing it.

The Dustin Tokarski story is sounding a whole lot like the Marc Andre Fleury story right now.

That game was pretty much what I expected would happen, except I didn't think there'd be so many dumb goals. Facing elimination at home, down 3-1, seemed like a foregone conclusion that the habs were going to play with some gumption and take that one down by a decent margin. I also expect the rangers to win game 6, so we'll see I guess. What I don't expect is for the habs to come back and win in 7, but who knows after the mess we saw last night.

I know I kind of live in a bubble or whatever but nobody I know has any delusions about Tokarski actually being good. If they make the Finals, that may change, of course.

Last night's game was garbage but I was wildly entertained. Great job by the Habs to blow a 4-1 lead.

I want to believe, but I just don't see the Rangers not being able to take advantage of their much better coaching and the crazy lopsided goaltending matchup of Olympic Hank to AHL Dustin over two games, especially with a chance at home.

Still, Montreal far exceeded what I could have expected with an AHL goalie going in cold, and Tokarski deserves a heck of a lot of credit for being competent (if the faint praise fits, wear it) beyond what we could have expected from his body of work to date.

Cherry literally used the Fleury defense last night. It was pretty funny.

Ignore the save percentage, the blown lead, ignore the miracle on ice that had to happen, look at how pretty some of the saves he made were!
