The Habs did not cause Kreider to go skates first into Price - was he tripped up by Emelin, yes. But he also made no effort to not smash into Price.

Not saying theres intent to injure but i also dont buy that he tried to get out of the way. Either way thats not really the point - saying the Habs can only win by injuring your players is silly.

Prust is a cancer and players like him should be removed from the game.
- riceroni

Prust is a beauty, and his stock has probably went up around the leagues GM's. That was old time hockey. Kreider takes out the Canadians best player, and Prust took out one of NY best players. If he was on the Rangers and did the same thing you would love it, you might not admit it but you would.

I've been watching just about every playoff game around the league ... and EVERY team is crowding/bumping the goalies.

It happens every playoff year, and probably always has.

Players have to go to the net, but the refs are there to protect the goalies and call goalie interference.

No, just Emelin did. Not all of them.

Better off going after Markov.. Subban is pretty good at dodging those big hits, but even better at giving them
- HabsRUs

Yeah, ok, but we should go after markov, because PK has been (always been?) worthless. Let him stay in, it's only good for the Rangers.

Can't wait for Dorsett to find Subban in a vulnerable position....and BAM.

- DONMURDOCH14

you don't think Subban is used to being targeted? you don't think he knows how to avoid those hits? by the time Dorsett realizes PK is vulnerable, and that first deposit of drool begins to form in the corner of his mouth, Subban will have moved about 10 feet up the ice. Dorsett going after Subban is like a dog chasing its tail.

Gallagher bumps into Hank on every single shift. He goes hard to the net, and makes contact after almost every single whistle. That's hockey, I don't think anyone on here has said anything about that once. Should he be penalized every time for that by your standards of bumping a goalie?

I would think the way Peekay Subban is playing defense, the Rangers would want to keep him in the game.

I was at the game last night and it's amazing how much a of a little bytch your coach is. He jumped up and down like a little baby every time an Hab would be touched. There was one time in particular he jumped up on the bench and was whining to the refs when Mac caught up to Gallagher and stole puck. Nothing but a clean defensive play and he reacted as if it was the dirtiest play in the world.

I think it stemmed from the play along the boards
Both Gallagher and mcd should have gone off but only Gallagher got called

The other was when mcd was going down to block a shot we got called

Only shot the Habs had of coming back was to start taking out our players

Only shot Rangers had to win the series was to take out Price.

Can you imagine if AV was our coach and he said that

Maybe we'll throw him a bone and dress Douglas Murray. Dorsett should be able to catch him

It's just a hockey play gone bad!

No, just Emelin did. Not all of them.

i still dont see how getting your legs knocked out from under you could possibly result in you going skates first into a goalie.

I've seen a lot of trips but i dont think ive seen a guy fall skates first when hes tripped from behind.

But again that play is over and done with - it happened and price is out so we move on. Saying that we can only beat the rangers by injuring stepan when we lost our starting goalie in game one though is pretty dumb.

The last thing the Rangers should try to do is get retribution for the Prust hit on Steps. The Rangers need to come out in the 1st period and play there game. If they do that Montreal doesn't have a shot in hell.

And what is their game?
Bowling over goalies?

Seriously, whats with all the idiots on here. Just go to your own board. For the decent Montreal posters on here, I have no problem talking to you guys.

Subban kicks the feet out of players from behind all the time. So I'm shocked you've never seen it.

But I really don't care what you've seen or haven't seen. Emelin tripped him. End of story.

my racism post was just a josh. didn't mean to ruffle feathers.
watch out for that Yan character though.

Quintal is a former Hab. i think we all know how this hearing is going to go.

He was a Ranger too.
