This has to be the most one sided, and the worst game I have seen a couple of clowns in zebra suits attempt to ref. The Rangers are getting called for everything, and the thugs in orange are getting away with everything. Is anyone else watching this fiasco? If I'm wearing orange, I would have eyes in the back of my head. As long as 44 in white is still in the game, I would bet money someone in orange is going down hard for the garbage they are pulling.

How does Downie not get tossed after the 3 on 3 fight? He has his head down and gets hit with a clean hip check, then instigates a fight with Tyutin. Did the rule vanish from the rule book that if you instigate a fight while wearing a visor you are tossed? How he didn't get an instigator there is beyond me. And, why is he even wearing a shield to begin with? He's the next coming of Rich Pilon, and that isn't a compliment.

Hartnell punches Jagr in the back of the head, then gives him a stick to the back of the head, no call. Plays goes the other way, Jagr gives Timmonen a shot, Jagr to the box. What a joke.

Then Richards tries to take Drury's head off at the end of the second period. Wow Richards, what a leader you are. Try to decapate big tough guy Chris Drury. I had a lot of respect for the kid and thought he was really turning into a dandy. Instead, he is just another in the long line of gutless cowards the Flyers like to produce. I hate to see a kid with his heart and talent get ruined by the Flyers organization, but it's not the first time, and it won't be the last.

Nice to see Orr completely pound the tar out of Cote. If that's Philly's enforcer, well. :owned: I really hope the Rangers come out int he third, bury Philly early, and exact some well deserved revenge. The Flyers like to go after guys like Tyutin, Drury, etc. I hope Orr, Strudwick, or Avery pummel Briere and Gagne. That's the game Philly plays, no reason for anyone to cry if they get it back. Only problem is, the refs won't let it happen, and the Rangers will not stoop to the Flyers level.

I didn't think that was ever in the NHL rule book. I know there was an extra minor for instigating with a visor, but I don't know if they get punted for it.
 
Just another typical NYR game. I see it in every NYR game. They'll get cheap shotted and NO ONE sees anything. They look at a player wrong and the refs hand couldn't get up faster.

Yes, I'm a Ranger fan. But, I watch so many other games on CI and it's really blatant some of the stuff that the refs miss during Ranger games.
 
Give me a break. You won the game 2-0 and your complaining about the refs call, poor poor the Rangers. How about the fact that that stupid Ranger hip check's Downie into the ref and the ref gets a skate slice across his face because of it. He is bleeding all over the ice. Then Downie beats the tar out of him, while Cote loses another heavyweight fights (surprise surprise).

So, I guess EVERY referee in the NHL hates the Rangers? Give us a break...

I'm not a Ranger fan by any stretch of the imagination. It was a clean hip check, what was so "stupid" about it? Because Downie got owned because he can't skate with his head up? It's too bad the linesman was in the way but they are professionals and he should have gotten out of the way. No one likes to see anyone hurt, but it happens. And, it just further shows how classless Downie is, he takes a clean hit, a linesman is down bleeding all over the ice, and he uses it as an opportunity to start a fight with a non-fighter over a clean hit. So, why not ask yourself why Downie would take advantage of the situation instead of showing some compassion for someone who is pumping blood all over the ice? Easy answer, Downie has no heart and no class.

PS: He got owned by Jarkko Ruutu of all people today. He picks a fight with Ruutu, and then in true Downie fashion, can't finish what he started so he quits and bails out. What a chump.

It was stupid because the Ranger showed no clear regard for the ref being in the way. Tyutin threw the check. He did it and paid the consequences. Tyutin did not back down from the fight. If you are in the NHL, you best be prepared to fight. Avery coward out from facing Mike Richards. Downie has no heart and no class. 10 points in 20 games. He has been playing 2nd line hockey on a playoff team and like him (or in your case hate him), he makes watching hockey more interesting everytime he is on the ice.
