Breaking News: Tony DeAngelo says choosing Carolina Hurricanes was the worst mistake he has ever made…..
From beginning to end, the New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes second-round series opener was an exciting one. In a tough first game, the Presidents’ Trophy champions prevailed 4-3 over the visiting Hurricanes.
At 6:14 into the game, Chris Kreider gave up the opening penalty of the encounter. Nevertheless, Tony Deangelo, a former New York Ranger who is currently with Carolina, made waves when he threw a hazardous elbow in Will Cuylle’s direction halfway through the first period.
The Madison Square Garden audience showered DeAngelo with jeers, and he didn’t help himself when he received a penalty for his vicious hit on Rangers rookie Cuylle.
After the first-game defeat on May 5, DeAngelo remarked, “I don’t give two you-know-whats about it,” as reported by ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski.
Even though DeAngelo’s elbow to Cuylle’s head was obvious and obvious, the referees on the ice struggled to call a proper penalty, much less give the Carolina Hurricanes player some time in the penalty box.
Martin Necas of the Canes was originally penalized for tripping on the Rangers rookie, and he was also a part of the sequence that ended with DeAngelo’s hit on Cuylle. After discussing his decision on the ice, the referees concluded that he shouldn’t have been penalized.
As a result, the referees overturned Necas’ penalty and declared that DeAngelo was the primary culprit in the incident. DeAngelo would now be the player sent to the penalty box following an investigation into his hit on Cuylle.
After evaluating the footage, the referees downgraded DeAngelo’s major penalty—five minutes—for roughing Cuylle to a minor penalty of two minutes.
Regarding the officiating of his hit on Cuylle, DeAngelo remarked, “I’m not even going to get into it; it’s tough.” “Those guys have a hard job, and then they make a call.” So, things are as they are.
Following DeAngelo’s sending off, Mika Zibanejad took advantage of the man-advantage opportunity to score New York’s second goal of the game, giving the Rangers a 2-1 lead. He needed only nine seconds from the power play’s beginning.
When questioned about whether the MSG crowd and the atmosphere of the venue affected Carolina’s decisions and plays that were just barely legal, resulting in penalties and power play opportunities for the Rangers, DeAngelo said he didn’t believe that was the case.
Regarding the Rangers supporters, DeAngelo remarked, “No, that’s the playoffs.” You all understand what a fantastic sports town New York is. They do a fantastic job supporting their group. However, we don’t give a damn.
Both of the Rangers’ power-play chances resulted in goals. Conversely, the Hurricanes were 0 for 5 when they had the man-advantage.
P.K. Subban refuted the headshot of Tony DeAngelo
P.K. Subban, a current hockey pundit and former NHL defenseman, talked about DeAngelo’s hit during the first intermission of Game 1 on May 5 between the Rangers and the Canes. Subban said that DeAngelo’s hit was clean.
