This game was crazy. And who else thinks that the Flyers suck? All that help from the refs and they still can't win
Oh and how bout Mike Rupp? He had a great game

Yeah, but they were just trying to hand it to the Flyers at the end, and I'm just pissed that it had to go that way

It was a good game. The Rangers winning made it all the more better. I can't stand any team from Philadelphia, but the Flyers are actually a good team. Philadelphia fans need to get an attitude adjustment.
The game highlighted a lot of the things that are horrible about the NHL now. Every game is decided in large part by the refs. They put their whistles away for the entire game calling only 2 PPs. With less than 10 minutes left the team that is trailing starts getting a bunch of calls; a horrible PP where they should have been shorthanded for hitting a player into the net, the PP should have been ended with the hook on Callahan, but they call coincidental incorrectly, and a penalty shot when they couldn't see the player covering the puck with his had.
They let interference go all game with both teams running the trap and interfering with forecheckers and people chasing the puck. Hagelin should have had a breakaway, but they let it go when the D didn't know where the puck was and interfered with him all the way up the ice. They took away a possible goal on the Callahan at the end too--they didn't show a good replay to see if he would have gotten to the puck. They even let the hit by Dubinsky go where he hit the player about 5 feet from the boards before they got to the puck which is supposed to be a penalty now too.
The penalty shot was exciting, and ending the game on a PP is exciting, but the NHL is becoming like the NBA where calls are happening at the end of every game to determine the outcome.
I hate the rangers and the flyers ,been a devsfan since birth. But I enjoyed the game.HOW BOUT RUPPER? I love Rupp so much, what Devils fans remember his Game Winning goal game 7 in 03 finals?
Yes I thought it was a great game. When we were down 1-0 then 2-0, I was pissed though. Lundqvist deserved the win imo. And Mike Rupp, wow what a way to step up and have a big game on a huge stage. Him doing the jagr salute after his first goal was epic
