    Who's more important to their team ... Price or Stepan. Price was taken out by a reckless play.

    BREAKING: Derek Stepan has suffered a broken jaw as a result of the Brandon Prust blind side hit. According to multiple beat writers, he is currently undergoing surgery. No timetable for return..Oy.

    Really? Wow I'm surprised! He looked a bit out of it, then saw the replay and was immediately up and going bonkers, I thought "ok he's fine". Ouch, never want to see players injured, esp from illegal hits.
    That might change discipline.

    This is true but both plays were reckless. I don't think Prust meant to injure him but it was a bad judgement to make the hit.

    I agree ... But Prust will likely get a game suspension, whereas Kreider got zilch.

    Yeah that's true.
    Maybe Price won't be allowed back in goal if Tokarski keeps playing well ;)

    I also believe by Prust delivering that hit and that fight in the first was big for Montreal. When your goalie wax taken out by a reckless play a message had to be sent ... It should have been delivered in game 2 ... At least Prust delivered it in game 3.

    Oh yeah definitely had to emotionally engage the team and he did just that. He was yelling at the bench (his own bench) on the way to the penalty box after the fight.

    Where is the reasoning behind Kreider getting suspended? I've watched that play probably 20 times. Did I miss something?

    He was being douchey and tried to snow Price, but he was going to fast and ended up injuring him. There was some intention there just not the intention to injured and as he took out our boy a lot of fans are peeved. All we can do now is take them down and that will be enough.

    Coaches Corner with Don Cherry had a segment about these guys plowing their way to the net. It's reckless plain and simple ... anchor the nets like they use to and these plays would never happen (or when they do the skater stands a good chance of injury himself) ...

    So the Rangers had to beat both the Habs and the refs tonight. What are the odds of unbiased officiating in game 5????? Anyone??

    At the end of the day, my team still won with bias officiating. Go back to bitching about Price, something you have done since game 1. No mention from me about Brassard getting his brain scrambled on an illegal hit or Stephan receiving a broken jaw on yet another illegal hit.

    Hab fans only seem to know the term 'reckless.' Do they dare use it when referring to Brassard or Stephan? :-$

    Hope your beautiful city isn't torn to shreds after game 5. Enjoy the day.

    So your guy gets caught admiring a pass (Brassard) and it's an illegal hit? Lol

    And the city looks good in flames!

    Very good game. All three goals Montreal allowed, there's that one Rangers player that was all alone, including the OT one and Tokarski was unable to keep the puck from entering the net. The OT goal by Martin St. Louis was really good and that was one that Tokarski would have been unable to make the save.
