Post-Game Talk: #40: Leafs at Rangers (3 stars of the game)

[Hunter Gathers]

If you have normal blood pressure

It's more fun when you don't read the stuff in our GDTs. Watching it on the train ride home was a nice change of pace.

 

[Machinehead]

See, that McD we saw tonight, man that was him. That's the guy that set the world on fire last year. Solid in his own zone and creating in theirs. We need more of that down the home stretch here.

 

[Crazed Beaver]

Hats off to Clowe, showed a lot of brass to fight a bigger guy.

Agree, Fraser scary dude.

 

[Drewbackatu*]

Much needed two points. Glad to be done with the Leafs their speed seems to give us trouble.

Agree. Kessel easily the most dangerous player on the ice and you gotta give kudos to Brian Burke for the Leafs roster. They'll be a handful in the playoffs.

bad play on the 2nd kessell goal but great game other than that

Leetch is so good in the studio. Wish he was on every game

Trautwig-Leetch is so much better than Pidto-Dugay, it's not even funny. Leetch is one of the best, too bad they can't/won't use him more.

 

[JohnC]

The team should be forced to watch Brian Leetch's analyses. If he was some sort of coach for this team I really think he could help a lot

 

[Boruto]

2 REG L tomorrow = 6th, 1 REG L = 7th, 0 REG L = 8th

 

[74 Kravtsov]

Hank
Zucc
Hags

HM: McD, Steps

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Didn't watch the game, but good to see a W. Huge 2 points.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Lundqvist
McDonagh
Hagelin

HM-Zuccarello

 

[Machinehead]

I give him a pass on that one because Girardi's brutal turnover stated that whole episode.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

All-in-all, I'll take the 2 points and move forward. Next two days off then a tough game against the Islanders.

Darn right.

 

[silverfish]

Boyle can't sleep because Prust isn't warming his bed anymore

I kid! I kid! I hope it's nothing too serious.

 

[Real Four]

cally had a brutal game

nothing was working for him

happy for the 2p though

 

[Holocene]

Girardi and Callahan get my votes for worst players tonight

These two overall have been disappointing for long stretches this season. Callahan tries too hard and Girardi doesn't try hard enough. You're not Rich Nash, Callahan. Simplify your ******* game.

We really need to get Staal back so we can cut Girardi's ice time. Has he had any good games this season? I'm drawing a blank here.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

2 REG L tomorrow = 6th, 1 REG L = 7th, 0 REG L = 8th

And fish have Boston.

 

[Jocke]

Funny how Lundqvist only had 19 saves. Seems like it was a much harder game to tend goal because it came in spurts. Very tough for a goalie that way.

The most interesting team in the world

 

[silverfish]

All-in-all, I'll take the 2 points and move forward. Next two days off then a tough game against the Islanders.

Who would have predicted that an April 13th game against the Islanders would be this huge? Boston needs to do the Rangers a big favor tomorrow.

 

[bmoak]

This team can't win games without Hank playing superhuman night in and night out. Constant blown coverages, turnovers, and bad line changes. Horrible special teams. Can't bury open net chances. No creativity. No transition game. Bottom 5 team without Hank. This team needs a housecleaning and a rebuild, but will never get one as long as he is here, as he makes the Rangers too good to fail.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

Hats off to Clowe, showed a lot of brass to fight a bigger guy.

Skill is great but hockey games are sometimes won by team's with the biggest you know what's. Gotta admire Clowe and what he did to try and spark the Rangers.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I give him a pass on that one because Girardi's brutal turnover stated that whole episode.

true but why did mcd go towards the same guy? anyway with Hank the d man needs to play the other player give Hank the shooter every time

 

[*Bob Richards*]

This thread is NOT about the Devils/Bruins game.

lol Not I. My Aunt i a die hard Islanders fan and we just had a weird talk about fighting for a playoff spot. I think I said the same thing to her.
