Worst Officiating Season Ever.

I thought Doughty was gonna have an embolism right on the ice after the blown offside call.

Little calls like that *can* change games, and these guys are supposed to be the best of the best. You just can't miss stuff like that.

My biggest issue with the NHL isn't head shots, boardings or fights, it's the horrible officiating.

They are human, Scott, they are gonna miss a call here and there. Game happens at lightning's pace at that level, and linesmen get caught in bad positions at times. We have the luxury of slow motion and instant replay. Not an easy job, to say the least, but until they install laser beam blue lines, huimans have to make the calls.

My fellas are in a big hole. Hopefully, they can get it back to the Garden for another game seven.

I predicted 7 games for this series from the start. Rangers had their best game of the series in Game 5 (excepting Henrik)....I look for him to have a big bounceback game.

Yes, not too solid between the pipes last time out. Fingers are crossed for tonight.
