Soucy suspended for game 4 for his crosscheck on McDavid.

And Zadorov fined $5K. Nothing for McDavid’s slash or Hyman’s cross-check to the head.

Refs will even it up in game 4. Canucks better expect a shit ton of time on the PK.

The Canes finally woke up.

.............Are the Rangers gonna be reverse swept?

[The Captain]

Rags played not to lose after they scored their goal and it was their doom.

Don't know if the Presidents' Trophy curse will hold, but I'm definitely expecting this series to go 7 games now.

[horsemen4ever]

If my Knicks got to go down, than dam sure the Rangers ought to go down with them, misery loves company.

[fw91]

Rangers look absolutely done. Sounds like total hyperbole, but that was the biggest no-show with no excuses, that I have ever seen. At least the Knicks can say they are broken and fatigued.

[Ringmaster]

lmao, Rangers skid into garbage is hilarious

So normal Knicks?

Don't know why you are hating, considering you're a die hard Pacers fan. Enjoy their ride.

I'm riding with whoever is winning.

It'll change after the series

Let's be fair: they didn't show up at the start of the game, either, Carolina dominated the opening stretch of the first when it came to odd man rushes and offensive zone time. Multiple games in this series could've gone either way, the Rangers had the scoring touch advantage in most of them, but if the Canes are showing up like this next time then there's a very good chance of a game 7.

What's been frustrating for us Rangers-haters in recent years is how often you'll see the Rangers get outplayed, but how special teams typically mean they'll win, anyway, since it seems like any breakaways they get are automatically in the back of the net, and that combined with Igor in goal for them is a potent combination. I'm under no illusion that they're going to lose this series just yet, but Carolina's a team you can't get away with playing like that for very long, and I hope it absolutely bites them. As UrinatingTree always says, the memes would be glorious.

Meantime, not terribly shocked at Dallas winning; I know a lot of people had the Avalanche here, but the Stars are too damn good. My on-paper picks for this full playoff was Dallas vs. Florida in the final; my second thoughts keep prodding me that Vancouver might actually make a run, but Stars and Cats are just such complete teams.

I'm sure Bruins/Panthers tonight will be a totally normal, not at all unhinged affair.

We should be used to this... it's how they desperately won any game with Lundqvist

Hey, we were just talking about this guy!

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Rats will be flying in South Florida tonight!!!

NHL Leadership Award voters: "Well, Trouba didn't actually connect with his attempted Hidden Blade, so he's still cool."

[Spiderf 4]

Lol.

There would have been an absolute nuclear meltdown had that goal been overturned.

[HMARK Center]

Btw, if anyone's following the PWHL playoffs, Montreal and Boston just keep going to OT against each other, and it's a pretty fun watch.

[The Captain]

It's so weird for me to be rooting hard for one MSG team (Knicks) while rooting hard against the other one (Rangers).

Anyone else like that? Like they're a Devils/Isles and Knicks fan? Or the even less likely Rangers and Nets fan?
