Do you have a point other than your emoticon? Are you older than 13, because adults should not be using emoticons.

 

[Fataldogg]

Girardi, McDonagh and Del Zotto have all been sloppy this game.

Do we have any defense men bringing the A game tonight?

Well half this board is like 17, so maybe he's not an adult.

 

[The Gloaming]

We're gonna blow this and the islanders fans will celebrate like its 1980.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Remember when Carl Hagelin had some semblance of hockey IQ? I swear all seems to do is skating around at high speed without ant focus. It would also be nice if some other line beside the top line would provide some production.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Mcdonagh looks human tonight, and i don't like it

 

[IHateSidney]

Like last game against the Flyers?

Ha ha yep. I hope they prove me wrong, but I have absolutely no faith in my team when it comes to the 3rd period.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

5-3 Rangers with an empty net hatty by Nash.

Wasn't aware of that Benn elbow on Cooke, think that will be my default suspension decision (or non-decision) to get mad about from now on

NHL turning a blind eye because it's Cooke?

 

[tbonenc*]

Let's hope we can click early in this period. We don't want to let them get a head of steam.

Yeah, but Matt Cooke.

Whatever. He had it coming.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I know good players set them up, but the 3 goal scorers for the Rangers COMBINED have 10 goals on the season.

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

Islanders want this game more and that is palpable. They're beating us badly at our own game and this team is fortunate that the game is tied.

With that said, their goaltender and defense is beyond abysmal. Even if the Islanders control the puck for the whole period again there is still a chance we come out with the ROW.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

I don't know what it's about the Islanders that the Rangers seem to forget how to play defense at all against them. They're just running around like headless chickens.

absolutely! defense is from all 5 skaters, not just the two blueliners. I am seeing Richards and others slow to react and falling behind the play, trying to catch up.

Are we watching the same game, because I could have sworn we were controlling the flow of the game and had a 3-1 lead at one point. I could understand if you said the Rangers thought the score would stay the same throughout and they stopped playing as a result, but to imply that the Islanders have been playing great throughout is being quite dishonest.

 

[The Gloaming]

Score early, nash.

Sometimes a funny looking yellow tennis ball can express more than words ever could.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Too much North south passing, banking the puck up the boards and hoping a Ranger picks it up. We need more short east west passes out of our zone, it's how we beat their forecheck.

 

[KingP]

lets go

 

[The Gloaming]

****ing ****itty ****

Best post in this thread. I think you nailed it.
Not so sure why you Rangers fans are so down, you have a betterish team, and a much better goalie.
Not sure sure why everyone surprised that the Islanders offense isnt horrible. Its the only thing good on the team.

 

[KingP]

damn that was a nice save

 

[nikonsniper*]

Of course Poulin is going to channel Brodeur for the rest of the game.
