For you guys arguing last page over the Carcillo ban reduction, please actually read WHY it happened before you start crying,"WHY EVEN HAVE RULES!?!?"

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nhl/story/_/id/11026231/2014-stanley-cup-finals-new-york-rangers-daniel-carcillo-ban-cut-six-games

espn posted:

After reviewing the incident, Bettman determined that Carcillo should have been punished for a violation of Rule 40.4, for deliberately applying "physical force to an official for the sole purpose of getting free of such official during or immediately following an altercation." (which is a 6 game ban-Nitramster)

Carcillo was originally cited as an offender of Rule 40.3 -- deliberately applying physical force to an official, which carries an automatic 10-game suspension.

1 hour away finally, can't wait for this series. (because I'm a Kings fan and after 21 games of up and down I just want this to be over with!)

The reason Carcillo's suspension was reduced was pretty much because the official that he hit described it as being deserving of the lower category of offense.

They call the hot sauce "Wang Sauce" too. I like to think they're trolling the homophobic UFC crowd that piles in on fight nights.

It's only trolling if mayonnaise is an option for dipping sauce.

I think that this hypothetical player would be okay with it. in fact, im pretty sure if there were a guy on the rangers who never dressed or played, but was just responsible for tonguing hank's rear end in a top hat clean after every poo poo he took and during particularly sweaty intermissions, he would be overwhelmingly happy to have ”The Human Toilet Paper, John Moore” engraved in size 2000 font on the cup

The Blue Jays did when they won the World Series in 92 and 93

The Canadiens did not when they won the Stanley Cup in 93

Take that for what you will. I think it's on kind of a "play it by ear" basis.

Seriously though, the Kings are going to sweep.

Rangers only chance to get back in it will be game 3. Kings are going to brutally stifle NY in game 2.

E: other than the 1st goal giveaway Doughty is playing out of his mind. A better young D than Subban in my mind, without a doubt.

Gotta feel bad for him, I'm sure he had a moment of "oh bloody hell what the gently caress do I do now?" And then promptly did what he's been programmed to do, and it all went to poo poo.

I guess chip it behind the net and hope reinforcements can do something? He did have some help looping back into the zone. I guess I don't know what the NHL player's view of putting the puck into an area like that with absolutely no support, but giving to an opponent standing on the blue line was never going to work out well.

So.. Did you just not watch the game or only watch the third period. The rangers played a drat good game even though the offense turned into poo poo in the third. If it's not for Girardi being an idiot with the puck the Rangers could have just as easily won that game.

You're thinking of the wrong Big Wangs. That's the original, and it looks like a crusty dive bar inside. The one I go to is in Noho; it's much newer, has like 75 TVs, pipes in the game audio loud and clear, and IMO has a better staff.

I used to go to a place called Champs because I live close by it (As seen on Bar Rescue!). It still kinda sucks. Really though, my favorite sports bar ever is this place owned by former pitcher Jeff Suppan.
