Yup, and, it pretty clearly knocks Kreider off stride. Not making a call was the right call - except, maybe, for a slashing/tripping call on Emelin.

You mean, the slash that knocks his foot out of stride to the point that he doesn't ever get a square footing back before he falls somehow defies the laws of physics and has nothing to do with him going down? Yeah . . . no.
His going skates first is pretty easily explained well within the laws of physics. His other foot is out in front of him, and it's his back foot losing contact with the ice that causes him to fall, making his body fall backwards. I mean, it's pretty simple and straightforward.
His weight would have been transferred to his left foot as he's about to shoot. When he got knocked off stride, his foot would have naturally gone forward as that's where all of his weight is. He then brought his other foot forward, trying to curl up and protect his head.
Also, nobody is diving on a breakaway. Nobody. Not even thinking about it.

Looks like the Habs may have let Nash get his game going. That's big trouble for them.

Penalties are: NYR - 5, MTL - 5. Penalties if called by Bell Centre crowd are: NYR - 300, MTL - 0.

I often wonder if the people that actually go to the games in Montreal actually understand the rules of the game. There are times when they boo every call that goes against the Habs, regardless of how legitimate it may be - and that includes things like offsides and icing.

It's their "passion." Now continue to be impressed by the "flame" that "lights" the ice for the millionth time.

NYRangers 3 Montreal 1. Rangers lead series 2 games to 0.
Montreal goaltender Dustin Tokarski tried valiantly, but in the end, what mattered were the results on the scoreboard, as the determined New York Rangers along with a "phenomenal" Lundqvist stymied a much-improved Montreal effort.
The Rangers Lundqvist was superb as the Habs directed 41 shots in his direction, many of them dangerous. His Rangers teammates, particularly Krieder, Nash, and St.Louis continued to excel, especially Nash who scored the game-winner.
Being undisciplined hasn't helped Montreal's cause in this series, as the 'patient' Rangers have taken very well advantage of the powerplay. Once again, the Nash goal was the result of that. Perhaps that was the shot that got past Tokarski too easily -- the one-timer partly hit his glove before bouncing into the net. Some say that Carey Price would have stopped that one.
Whatever. Lundqvist was the main man, and in what was supposed to have been a goaltending showdown between "King" Henrik and Price will never materialize as Price's knee injury knocked him out of this series.
?You know what? The reason why we lost the game tonight was Lundqvist,? said Habs coach Michel Therrien. ?Lundqvist was phenomenal, phenomenal. Stole the game."
?He made a few more big saves, game-changers, than I did and that was the difference tonight,? said Tokarski.
?We can feel good about (that game) ? I think there?s a lot of stuff we can build on,? Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher said after Monday?s 3-1 loss. ?We didn?t get the result we wanted, but if we have that effort for the rest of the series we feel we?ll give ourselves a chance.?
On to New York Thursday night.
N.B. It was the first time dating back to 1975 that the Montreal Canadiens had given up 10 total goals in consecutive playoff games.
