So if you can't blame it on the refs WHO will you blame it on now Rangers fans?
Question:Ok, so the big beef after game 1 was that the referees handed the game to Buffalo. Game two...different story. Penalties 5-4 in favor of New York and MANY calls that could have been called were not. Im referring to New York having about 12 players on the ice as Sean Avery skates from the bench and plays the puck.
So, now that the old excuse is gone, what ace-in-the-hole excuse do you have to come up with now?
Answers:
Here's a great hockey question: Is Eric Lindros a Hall of Famer?
I know their next excuse... the arena was too cold so the ice was too hard. After that, they'll blame the Yankees for putting too much pressure on them to be the only team from New York to win right now.When Is Don Cherry Going To NBC?
I dont think the Rangers have an excuse, they're just getting outplayed, I think everyone has the Rangers as the underdogs, but any excuses would be just petty complainingShould the NHL move teams back to Canada?

Game 2 could have gone either way. I think you will find the NYR tougher on the road. I haven't seen too much whining from Ranger fans but maybe I missed something. The refs are never a reason for losing a series.Sens said it best, they are getting outplayed, plain and simple. They are getting outplayed by a team that had a sweep of the reg. season series, that had the best record in the NHL, and has so much depth it's impossible to find the end of it. 70+ goal scored by each of the top three lines for Buffalo, what does NY have to counter that? they don't. It's as easy as that. And I fully understand why Lindy was so pissed at the end of game 2. Had every right, GIVE'EM HELL LINDY!!!
Who CURRENTLY has the best 3rd jersey in the NHL?
Game 1 you can blame on everyone. The Rangers weren't physical enough, they didn't forecheck, they didn't attack, they took too many penalties (blaming that on the refs is lame)...they got outplayed from end to end.Game 2 was a very different story. They play great hockey for two periods. Their third period was not that great, but they did not play so poorly as to be outscored 2-0 in that 20 minutes. Miller robbed them once and held his ground for the rest of the period. Bottom line, you can blame the game 2 loss on Miller if you are the Rangers.
Rangers will be tough in games 3 and 4.
The Rangers don't have any excuses. They won the pp battle, outscoring Buff 2-1 with the man advantage. The game was lost at even strength in the 3rd. For that, you have to look at the NY blueliners performance.
Malik had a flat-out brain fart and Rachunek spent so much time laying on the ice, you'd think he was at a swim meet. If Rozsival is healthy for game 3, I'd be very surprised if Pock doesn't get the nod over Rachunek.
Game two , Rangers D. Malik's turnover lead to a goal and Rachunek's miss assignment led to another goal. Shanhan Lundqvist and Callahan played well
