So if us Canadians hate them & u Americans hate them, who the fuk is pushing for them?

NBC!!!

To them, Hockey is not a prime time sport.
I don't even understand why they get broadcasting rights and power to decide
the start times of any games.

they are paying the most this year for playoffs games, $$=power

Next year Rogers will be the one spending the big $, I assume they will have a say at what time games are broadcasted but NBC will still decide when 2 American teams are involved.

What drove me bonkers yesterday is that here in Canada, the Habs game was on CBC. So I'm sure CBC wanted the game on at night, you know......HNIC... as has been for the last what 50 years!!!!!! So what gives NBC the fukken right to put the game on at 1pm?

Yeah but if Ovie can't play next year & it lands them McDavid, I'm sure Putin won't have a problem with that.

99% he plays tomorrow...

I think their fans are worse.
- Not_Stee

You are correct
From any angle that play was intentional
At least with the bruins wouldn't resort to this type of play on a goalie

This is a special type of douchebagggery

99% he plays tomorrow...

It was Kreiders fault I'm sure in DC

It's head games..he's fine. Keep the BLR guessing. No one is talking about the debacle of a game Germany played only concerned about Marcus Kink being the dirtiest player since Claude Leimeux. Keeps the pressure off the team by a whole nation

The only way to stop it is to stop watching afternoon games altogether,
so the ratings plummet.
But it's not realistic and will take years to change.

Not really the same thing...it took 4 guys to carry ovechkin off an to the locker room...Price played the rest if the 2nd period and was on the bench for the 3rd instead of getting treatment. It's a conspericy I tell ya!! Focus on a dirty play that wasn't dirty by a dirty player who isn't dirty..so that a nation doesn't focus on the team itself. It's actually a brilliant play by Terrian or whoever made the decision

But you can't fool a guy from NY...ain't happening

Alex Ovechkin is back in the team hotel. Walking on his own, no crutches, but limping. Team doctor says it's "better than expected" #Caps

agreed

I expect a better effort all around tomorrow, but then again, that Rangers team is fast, and they look on a mission. If the Habs are satisfied with kicking out Boston and can't find anything else to push them further, they will be done for very fast.

I had Montreal in minimum six but likely seven all along. I never expected this series to be easy, but I have to say, yesterday's effort has me befuddled.

what's with you people? it is only one game and you could have put serious money on the canadiens not being ready emotionally after knocking out the bruins. this is still a young team experience-wise. they are not playoff seasoned like a chicago or l.a. they were there in body only saturday. blame nbc for being a bush league hockey network scheduling playoff games at 1, blame bergevin and therrien celebrating like they won the cup after game 7 wednesday night. blame kreider for taking out price. blame st.louis for being such a whiner that he whined his way to new york to be the habs killer he was in tampa.

it's only one game. win game 2 and all will be forgotten.
