Saw the replay in slow motion and Volchenkov definitely pushed Gaborik into Marty but did not drive him through Marty and I think thats what made the refs make their call. Good call.

He wasn't pushing him into Marty as much as he was trying to push him OFF of Marty after he made contact. Look at the overhead angle, the only part of Volchenkov's body that makes contact before Gaborik plows into Marty is the stick, and like someone said if anything the stick should have been obstructing him, not propelling him.

In addition, if that play happens in the 1st period, no one says boo. Sure looks like the right call. Maybe the Rangers should've thought about generating scoring chances on their power plays.

[CarpathianForest]

From the overhead angle it looks like Voch tried to hold Gaborik up and Gaborik just leaned into Marty with both arms to interfere.

I'm sure the Rangers will be giving back Game 2 in 2008 any time now.

I'm not saying I won't take it, and obviously everyone in the organization will. Just rather that Parise dumped the puck in and the game is over that way, and not win on a questionable call. Anyone can say it is the right call here, but they'd be lying if they weren't crying league conspiracy if it was the other way around.

lol im designing for a band in russia and im showing him videos of Kovy swearing after scoring trying to figure out what he's saying exactly hahaha

he's saying... "well theres the F word in there for sure... the russian one"

Did torts forget to change his maxi pad again? That was a clear goaltender interference and the absolute right call.

That's ridiculous. Volchenkov is leaning into Gaborik all the way in and bumps him (the bump can be seen from the angle behind the forwards). Gaborik plows through Marty unnecessarily and that's why it's the right call.

Just finished watching the game. Anyone else a little disappointed how the Devils won? Thought the Rangers got screwed. Would have liked them to have won with a clean finish. Oh well.

2 points.

Uh? You're on drugs.
If you think I'm ever going to be disappointed in a Devils win you're crazy, especially against the Rangers. The Devils could be as dirty as they want, the Rangers can get screwed (even though that didn't happen) as much as possible, and the Rangers can have whatever goalie they want in net..I'll never be disappointed in a Devils win vs. the Rags.

Again, no point in arguing the right call. Just take the win and move on. It's hard for any fan to be objective. It's a call every fan in the world agrees with if it goes for their team and one that every fan disagrees with if it goes against them.

And the neutral parties are saying was correct too.

I didn't necessarily agree with it at first, but I've seen the replay many times and I now think it was the right call.

hahahaha what a fun game. i was watching it along side a rags fan who thought the last potential goal in the last 4 seconds counted. i was basking in the sadness when he found out what happened.

all aroung though, it was a tough, gritty win and thats how we have to expect it when we play the rags..

Janssen showed some fun in his interview and basically let us know that yea, that sh!t is going to happen and the rags think its as fun as we do!

good work tonight boys, we've now beat the rags twice in a week and are making a real nice run... keep it up boys!!!

[SterioDesign]

to me this is the perfect time to approach Zach with a contract when everything is going well... not after we get eliminated in the playoffs and that he's probably pissed a bit... but Zach is too robot-like to understand emotions i'd guess

[Devil Fan]

I believed that controversial no-goal can go either way. Kerry Fraser said the wrong call was made on TSN. Well, it is nice to get a win...plus the SO for Marty.

I can't get over this...incredible. LMAO
