Guys, it's not like we're down by 5 goals... A couple lucky bounces our way and we'll be okay.

It's not so much that we are down 2, it's that we have to score 3.

 

[Kershaw]

I wish I could switch to the CBJ game

This is my fear. The Rangers are literally building their offense around Nash, a formula that led the Jackets to a total of 0 playoff wins in his tenure there. The Jackets on the other hand are similar to the 10-11 Rangers, a blue collar team with depth throughout the lineup.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

I just hope we can score the next goal because we all know we ain't coming back from a 3 goal deficit. This team is inept offensively, and is a disaster defensively recently.

 

[Green Blob*]

Hank better wake up if we have a shot in this game. Both those goals should have been saved.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

He actually traded a top 5 scorer in the league to fit the coach. That's unprecedented.

I don't know what anyone sees in this guy. If it was a great coach I could understand. Here's a guy I wouldn't move the crazy old guy around the corner for, let alone Marian Gaborik.

I was and am still behind the Gaborik trade. I just don't think Tortorella is going to take this team to a cup, regardless of the horses.

 

[nevesis]

Wow....5-2 Islanders...gotta be ****ing kidding me.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Rick Nash should be having a field day against a team like this. Instead he's done nothing except look bad.

Also i'm still waiting for this board to call out Nash for floating when every other ****ing game people were on Gabby's case. Last game he completely gives up on a backcheck and this game he doesn't even bother moving to the puck.

To watch Last Years Rangers?

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

Rangers are gonna win this game. Calm down.

 

[Cmox]

How many players have scored their first goal versus the Rangers ? lord.

But Nash is canadian

 

[JD123]

Outskated by a team on 2nd game of back to back.

and don't forget their entire starting defense is pretty much out. Lets keep throwing Boyle and Richards out there on the powerplay. yayyy.
and will Zucc ever score a goal?

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Do the Rangers realize that the Flyers have the worst goalie and the worst defense?

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

The 10-11 Rangers were a bad team that limped into the playoffs through their goaltending play.

....Wait a minute...you're right.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I'm not sure, but none of that is really relevant so far.

 

[Zamboner]

We will tie it up in the 2nd. Not because we're good. Because the Flyers are that bad.

 

[surf]

60 min game not 20...Nash will get two tonight

It's not so much that we are down 2, it's that we have to score 3.

I'm counting on 2, then winning the shootout.

nah gaborik is the only one allowed to be called lazy

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I will say this: the Flyers came to play tonight. They have put in a good effort and are playing well. They've been hard on the puck and are looking solid in the D zone.

Doesn't excuse the start the team has had. If anything, it should still be 0-0. Lundqvist let in some leaky goals, and the offense didn't do much. They look lost out there.

 

[Dagoon44]

Hank better wake up if we have a shot in this game. Both those goals should have been saved.

Shhhh they will hate you on here and make fun of you for not bowing down to the king

 

[The Gloaming]

We need someone to grab the game by the balls.

How great would it be if they showed up in their first periods?

 

[*Bob Richards*]

lol. C'mon Kersh. That 10-11 team had a whopping 1 playoff win. Not exactly world beaters.

 

[3rd Guy High]

I hope we miss the playoffs. Maybe then some of players will wake up the next day watching teams like the islanders succeed and go "oh ****! We actually need to put some effort in it to win"

Major let down of a season. I'm sorry, this team shouldn't go from dominating the regular season and the making ECF to struggling to make the playoffs.
