GDT: #27 - 11/30/13 | Vancouver Canucks @ New York Rangers | 2:00 PM - MSG

[StepansLabyrinth]

scoring goals is not lundy's job, stopping them is!

What is a small sample size?

 

[SKjEi o2]

isn't it only like 2-3 years anyway

It was just the way he said it hah.

 

[OverTheCap]

If the team could score like this in front of Lundqvist it wouldn't even be something to think about.

Or defend better, for that matter. Talbot's rebound control has been average but the Rangers have helped him out in that area.

 

[AKrangerfan]

Torts put Kreider with Nash and Stepan in the Boston series last season. CK scored then, too.

Guess I was wrong. I don't remember those examples.

 

[SA16]

Makes you wonder when/if Kreider would have come up had Nash not gotten hurt. I guess he'd be back up after the Callahan injury provided the injury still occured given obviously all the games would have been completely different with Nash in the lineup.

 

[Black Aces]

crosby also has a strange selection to be honest...just saying

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I have to say Biron's 5 hole gave me fits, but the guy was apparently a solid dressing room guy and is an AMAZING analyst. LOVE LOVE LOVE him.

 

[mike14]

Missed the end of the first (and the PP), but it was good to see a forward (especially CK) pick his spot and hit it with his shot, excellent pass from Nash as well.

Talbot continues to surprise me with how well he plays in net

 

[Machinehead]

So many more shots seem to go wide against Talbot than against Lundqvist and I wonder if that's because of the different angles he plays.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Am I the only one who really enjoys having both Biron and Carter working with MSG???

 

[trilobyte]

Yes, Richards at wing. It shows that AV looked at things and made a decision, and this looks like a good one.

tort's nutz right now with kreider's play

 

[Zynbanejad]

Youtube Rick Jeanneret. Most annoying broadcaster in sports.

To be fair, the enthusiasm he shows for a Buffalo team is unmatched.

Rebound control has always been one of Hank's weak points too.
I think Talbot does a good job of knocking the puck away, whereas Lundqvist often has it drop right in front of goal. While giving him the chance to cover it, also leaves it for the other team right there.

I just mentioned Biron being amazing. A wealth of knowledge, pleasant to listen to. I even dig his accent. (Done with my man crush).

I honestly think we play tighter D in front of the back-up. I know these are pros, and they're not going to consciously slack off in front of Lundqvist, but with how many times he's bailed them out, you have to imagine they can get a little complacent.

When in front of a lesser 'tender, they might actively try to step it up a bit.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Really? I see him directing pucks into corners on most of these long shots that Lundqvist seems to just put in the slot at times.

 

[Zynbanejad]

I absolutely love it. Both have great personalities and have a lot more to offer than most of the Rangers broadcast crew.

 

[nevesis]

Boom!!!!

 

[DoTheBlue]

Good start to the period 3 zip

 

[Black Aces]

i think nash tipped it

 

[Raspewtin]

Nash!!!!!! This is great!!!

 

[Crease]

This is too funny.

 

[The Gloaming]

This line....

Torts. You mad?

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Woooh.
