I wouldn't say that.
Thought it was just gamesmanship .
A fun thing to poke at the Jagr/flyers
Just part of the fun

Wonder if any Rangers fans that are staying the night in Philly will dare venture into a bar
tonight while wearing their Jerseys?

I doubt Jagr thought it was so funny though.

Not Rupp's our any of the Rangers problem.
He should have done the shooting the rifle bit that Aninisomov (sp) did during the Tampa game
last month.
Probably would have started a brawl again.

Refs did everything they could to get Philly back in the game. Absolutely atrocious calls. Delay of Game? You gotta be kidding me. No hooking on Gaborik's semi-breakaway? Understandable, but when combined with the calls against the NYR it adds up to an obvious bias. And to have a Philly native reffing the game?! Are you serious!!!!!? A penalty shot with 20 seconds left? Farce!

I thought there was a bit of momentum bias but I wouldn't call it all philly bias by the refs. Still aside from the second period lull it was a good game. I totally wanted that to be a penalty shot. Sliding on top of the puck in the crease should be the same as closing your hand on it.
Was amazed at how many pucks hopped over defensemen's sticks at the point. You could tell that they weren't as eager to make that pass because of it. Made for a good low cycling game at times.
Oh well time for some good football, the rose bowl is pretty entertaining so far, hoping stanford and osu live up to it tonight.
