NHL: Hold on there
-

While I don’t question the validity of John Dellapina’s story about a Rangers game in the works at Yankee Stadium—despite being a lifelong defenseman, he usually knows what he’s talking about—the official NHL stance on the matter is a tad more tempered.
According to league VP Frank Brown, the Rangers are only “among the many teams that have expressed interest aggressively” about an outdoor game for next season. He also said there’s no time frame for locking down teams or a site for the game.
Naturally, it’s in the league’s best interest to make sure everything is lined up before they announce anything official. But I wouldn’t expect that announcement to be anytime soon.

Avery single handedly created that goal. big crushing hit, followed by a perfect setup pass.
no wonder they are 44-17 with him
Is Bill McCrary from Buffalo? What a joke this is? Maybe one of the Tuitin holds was a penalty, but that’s about it.
the Refs are going to give this game to Buffalo. No question.
this is awful.
where is the rage of Renney?
How can there be no accountiblity with these fucking refs.
I’m so pissed off…this is flat out embarrassing…
These refs should be shot!
I can’t watch or listen. Anyone care to describe what the ref issue is?
The word has come down from Butthead…penalize the Rangers whenever possible!!!!!
wow mccreary has a hard on for the rangers in this one
This officiating is an absolute travesty. What a joke. I’ve never been one to subscribe to conspiracy theories before, but this has to make you wonder. Is McCreary on the Sabres payroll?
I’m convince McCreary has it out for us. Every time he calls one of our games the penalties are way lopsided
hey doodie,
try this link

it just keeps getting worse. bad call – > sympathy call, rinse wash repeat
these calls are out of control. Avery got elbowed in the face earlier right in front of the ref…
matt, i swear to god, you are my new best friend.
I’m sooooooo pissed right now!
HUGEEEEEEE third period coming up.

We’re going to have to beat the Sabres and the Refs in the 3rd to pull this one out. I actually feel like 1 point would be a victory tonight.
no problem, i got it from someone else so i cant take the credit
Mike D:
Thank you I just sent a message to them…won’t do any good but…....
McCreary screwing the Rangers again. Son of a bitch!! Why the fuck isn’t Renney giving it to the ref?
Rosival sucks too. He never even tried to block that shot. Chicken hearted bastard!!
And our casper milk toast coach does nothing, just shrugs his shoulders!! Him and Rosival should go lay eggs, they are chicken enough!!
Ref bill mcreary must have alot of money on this one. I always thought he was dirty!He should be in the NBA.
you have to blame the Ranegrs a little bit. He’s obviously calling everything on them so they have to adjust.
I’m not saying it’s fair, just saying they need to take of themselves.
how do you adjust from getting pushed into the goalie? stand outside the blue line?
I haven’t been able to watch, so I can’t say for every call, but looking at the sheet, all of the stick fouls can be avoided.
Doodie, you can’t adjust against a crooked referee. What they should do is “accidentally” skate into him and knock him senseless.
2 mins and change to go. 1 point would be a victory of sorts tonight. Hang on!
13 games
Are we not getting a PP out of this?
Can someone explain to me how the fuck we don’t get a PP out of this? AND… Orr gets a penalty? Peters hit him FROM THE BENCH. He wasn’t even on the playing surface… and we DON’T get a PP?
This is the worst-officiated game I’ve seen all season, and I’ve seen a lot. Bill McCreary should be fucking ashamed of himself.
AHH DAWES! SO CLOSE!
THE POST!
Hanny
It is obvious that every game Mc Queery refs against us, we get screwed left and right. I expected not to get a PP after Peters punched Orr in the face from the bench. It would only be consistent with Mc Queery MO. The guy is a douchebag. I dont see how the NHL doesnt investigate that guy.
If only they could win without the shootout.
What a game, I can’t believe dawes at the end of the overtime was set up by gomez and hit the post, than gomez comes through
in the shootout. All year the worse officiating by one referee against the rangers is no doubr about it, Bill McCreary, there is something definitely there with this clown against the rangers.
Gooooommmmmmerrrr!
Those Versus toweles are shameless!!!!!
Can someone explain to me how at the end of regulation a buffalo player on the bench can throw two punches no less with his gloves on in to the face of Colton Orr and not get a penalty and the worse thing about it is the rangers should have been on the power play.
Hey, we won, who cares. 10-0-3 in the last 13!!
We Win!!!! Gomer must have been the best at breakaways last practice.
These ref’s were horrible. It was nice to see that we held it together and came out with a win.

I don’t think ANYONE can explain that! What a sham!
eat it McCreary. worst officiating performance in quite a while.
McCreary did his best, but couldn’t take the Rangers down. I agree – to think that the Rangers wouldn’t end up with a PP after Peters engaged Orr from the bench is ludicrous.
Still, 2 games in a row where the Rangers’ best player was Lundquist and we get 4 points…I’ll take it.
with refs like these…....it wont be long before chshl referee mike greaney is in the nhl…...
