You guys gotta be more disciplined defensively. Even McDonagh got beat a few times in that period.

 

[GFiP*]

Nash wishes he wasn't traded right now.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Block shots. Passing and scoring is for chumps.

Real men kick the puck back and forth along the boards.

 

[stcatcs12]

I am personally a fan of Tortorella, but this is EXACTLY how the team looked right before Renney was canned.

 

[Ryan McDonut]

wait, the penguins have a goalie? i thought they were just playing with 6 skaters on the ice the whole period

 

[Jackson Ranger]

I don't think this team can win on the scoreboard or in the alley.
Soft, terrible passing and no passion. I've never turned off a Ranger game and I might today.
Also, how come no call on Crosby for hitting Girardi without the puck or Kunitz doing the same thing Miller did??

 

[trilobyte]

Uhhh lol wot? Aside from passing the puck OUT of the zone on the powerplay under zero pressure from anyone... he did what? One decent rush up ice? He's been standing around in the defensive zone. I just watched him sitting there and letting Stepan run all over the ice for him. He's done next to nothing in the offensive zone (who has?).

Uuh. yeah. He carried the puck. I don't see anyone else doing it.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I'm so tired of richards. He has the strength of a jellyfish.

Truth be told, probably the worst Ranger on the ice. Gabs was at least creating space with his speed and penetrating the zone.

As soon as Richards gets the puck, the play dies. Richards is showing no poise or making extremely low percentage plays.

 

[fiedy88]

He could be. We honestly wouldn't know it.

Wait, Fleury is playing? I don't think the camera panned to the Pittsburgh end once.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

You guys gotta be more disciplined defensively. Even McDonagh got beat a few times in that period.

Agreed. He was bad that period.

 

[Kakko]

This has been McD's worst game as a Ranger

 

[JCrusher*]

The Pens announcers are the biggest homer announcers in the game. Followed by Buffalo.

Why is that such a problem. Our announcers are homers to as are most of the teams announcers. Difference is that the pens are a great team even though i hate them

 

[Fitzy]

His worst game so far.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Whats funny about the collapsing zone D, is that we aren't blocking shots anymore.

If the team isn't, collectively, blocking shots; then there is no point in running a collapsing zone defense.

 

[Thunderhead]

Even the Flyers scored 4 against the Pens.

 

[GFiP*]

Torts needs to be gone after this rout.

 

[Glennsoe]

Like him or H8 him...Crosby's been on fire since coming back..47 points in 28 games...Can't ignore that..

 

[Kokoschka]

3rd line on FRS is the one with Sam & Joe (both had some pretty good laughs already), for those of you who are watching via stream and don't wanna listen to ROOT.

 

[mike14]

Hmm, it could be worse; I could be a Caps fans...

even when the rangers entered the zone they could have just left the camera on our end. its not like we would miss anything.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Wait, Fleury is playing? I don't think the camera panned to the Pittsburgh end once.

I honestly think the camera guy said "**** it" and left the camera aimed at the Rangers zone and went to get a beer with his buddies.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Don't respond to trolls guys. Please report them.

 

[RGY]

Gaborik, Nash, Richards all looked lost in the defensive end. Eminger just said it too much standing around. They all were horrible picking up trailers and switching off their marks. Twice Hagelin was out of position that led to great chances.

Other than the first one henrik has been great again. Girardi has showed up today and is really giving it to crosby. I thought Gaborik had some great rushes, he was more willing to go to the dirty areas. I liked the Boyle line physicality. Need more from Nash and obviously richards. Richards has looked more aggressive on the offensive side of things. Hagelin needs to use his speed more.

Have you ever watched a ROOT sports broadcast?
