I was also surprised the MSG crowd got on Nash so quickly tonight...
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, maybe he didn't think at all about it.
Dorsett has been okay, he has filled his role and he cares. I'll take a Dorsett any day, and welcome any warts he brings.
I don't like hockey that is too sanitized anyways.
I hope i don't get hated on too much for saying this but: Dan Girardi looks pretty lost out there and plays pretty terrible hockey lately.
i thought nash was the best player on his line which is scary considering he has been out all season mostly. Callay and richards have been MIA the past couple gamesFans are tough. And there are 7.8M reasons to be tough on him.
I thought he looked solid first game back.
He "stole" the game against LA just two days ago. An absolutely unbelievable performance, but the team in front of him scored 0.

He stole a game they lost? Nah. there's a difference between playing well and stealing a game. Coaches always talk about key saves at key times. This has been the knock on Hank for his career. Some would say he wasn't any good in the playoffs; that although he is great at saving pucks; he is a loser because he doesn't come up big in big spots. I have never believed that but there is a difference between playing great in a game where your team wins vs. when they lose.
Absolutely disgusting the Rangers allow 5 chances in this game maybe, Lundqvist gives up 2 goals. Our goalie has now lost us 2 games and won us 0. Every game he's won the Rangers outplayed the other team badly. Oh, I forgot the Ducks game when he gave up a soft goal in a 2 goal game. Yes he got 4 goals of support in those 3 games. But you know what? We're still a defensive team. A team like that should be able to win with the best goalie in the game. We didn't score much but we didn't give up much. The Devils game we were a bit looser than the other 2, but still 2 of the goals were flukes and 1 goal was ridiculous. The flukes were obviously not his fault but my point is the Devils didn't get that many great chances. That's 3 games he should have gotten us 1 point in at least. I will give him credit for being amazing against the Kings but losing through no fault of his own. So 1-3, games he should have won us and games he lost us.

where is the logic in choosing talbot over hank?
I realize I'm overreacting, that's why I mentioned his PPG. The guy is driving me to alcoholism. His 2nd best attribute after his speed was his shot. His shot has looked peewee. I can't stand watching him blow breakaway after breakaway.

I don't like that either...he is my favorite type of player but man he can really take obvious useless penalties.
Still can't figure out how they can't solve a 5 year long goal scoring problem.
What is it with this team??
Ranger fans arent allowed to give credit to opposing goaltendersThe penalty shot went between Rask's blocker and body; hit his body and went just wide. That was a good shot and Rask got lucky; the second one I believe hit the shaft of his stick; again fortuitous for the goalie. Snake bitten. When a goalie is playing this well he gets the breaks, like Stralman's shot off the post after beating him cleanly and Richards batting that puck just wide with a yawning net. Rask was great, got breaks and beat us.
