Post-Game Talk: blue @ RANGERS

[NYROrtsFan]

Somebody said in the GDT that cup winning teams take so many penalties that refs just stop calling them, and I hate how true that sounds to me

That's exactly what the great Seahawks teams did in the NFL as well. They basically knew that the refs wouldn't call it every time and played like that. There were articles written about it and everything.


As for the game, we deserved a point at least. Georgiev can't let that goal in.

You know you're doing something right when multiple fans of the SC champs drop by your post game thread to compliment your team after a regular season game on a Tuesday night.

Oh yea, and just wait till they get a glimpse of our shiny new goalie too

Played a good game against a great team

Toe to toe with the defending Stanley Cup Champions

On the heels of two blowout losses.

Not bad at all

 

[leetch99]

I thought it was a great game ...we were in it all the way . I found it hard to believe that the sweater /shoulder tug was missed ....that was crazy non call .

 

[pld459666]

Hot take; you deserve to lose if you have Lemieux out there in the last minute down 1

Disagree.

Hes a net front presence that is lacking without CK

Blues Fan, gotta post. Was very impressed with several of the Rangers.
Howden, was really impressed with his play last night. One of the better players away from the Puck on the NYR.
Kakko is just starting to figure it out, kid is going to be sick. Binnington was able to get a piece of one of his shots that should have been in the net.
DeAngelo, love watching this kid play.
Staal, they guy continues to play solid defense. He is what he is a very good stray at home defensemen. A couple of years ago there was some rumors that the Blues where interested, would have loved to have had him.

On the flip side, Strome continues to be an idiot. The guy could have easily been called with 2-3 penalties last night, but love the guys play. Your in a dangerous position with him, is he the 30-40 point guy that he has shown over his career or the player he is this year?
Georgiev looked good last night, the Schenn goal was a complete fluke, the first goal is on your defensmen who was out of position.

Rangers have the skill, they just dont have a physical game right now. The scoring depth is there. Will be interesting to see what they do with Lundqvist this summer. That is a lot of potential cap space, even if they eat half of it for a year.

Really nice to see you and some others Blues fans dropping by to compliment the Rangers. Us Blueshirts have to stick together!

Georgiev fell asleep. Standing straight up like a beer leaguer. He’s got to get down there and protect that far post. Just a ridiculous goal.

I was one of the smith votes. Thought he was good. He’s been at least as good as Brady Skjei 99% of the time.

Not the best goal to let up in that situation, but he also made a number of outstanding saves. He is the opposite of current day Hank. Always upright, in good position and controlling rebounds.
I didn't see you destroying Zibby for his assist on Parayko's goal.

We're going right back down the "but our goalie" road and I hate it

 

[Leonardo87]

Keep the tank alive! Lets get the nice draft pick

 

[Bruner4329]

True, but with Shesty in net they have at least 3 out of the past 6 points and are in a completely different position playoffs wise. Relying on your goalie isn't great, but having an elite one to fall back on tough times, is.

What games were you watching. WE were totally outplayed by Philly in the 2 games and last night maybe we should have gotten a point. The problem is if the bread man and Zib aren't scoring often we struggle offensively.

I guess it's a possibility that this is the case.

I coached my daughter's fifth grade basketball team this past season, and we played two teams, one of them twice, that basically played defense by fouling the entire game. After a while, the refs stopped calling fouls and allowed my team to get physically abused. Got so bad in the second game against one of them, I ended up getting kicked out of the game because I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was.

Both of those teams went deep into the league tournament.

Granted youth level basketball is not professional sports, the idea of a team just breaking the rules constantly because the refs aren't going to call it seems to be universal.

This is the most arrogant and nonsensical post at the same time. What a smug post.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

I guess I'll be the asshole that says I think the opposing teams fans coming by dropping their 2 cents is annoying? Especially when you see them saying MARC STAAL is a great stay at home defensemen? Comes across as smug but maybe that's just the sore loser in me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did you see the softies Hank and AG let in? I don’t care how we were outplayed. Igor doesn’t give up softies and makes tons of spectacular saves as well. AG and Hank both give up softies fairly regularly.

More scoring would overcome that sure, but you’re oversimplifying it using a cliche. Scoring wins. But so does great defense and guess what- great goaltending wins as well. We saw it for years with Hank. Each one can somewhat compensate for the others. I say Igor would have compensated for their inability to score and likely would have stole them 3 points, definitely at least 2 imo. Every point matters.

You don't win many games with one goal.

No, but what’d St. Louis have, like 17 shots against through 2 periods, and like 1 scoring scoring chance against in the 3rd? That’s the type of game where you can grab an all important point even with just 1 goal.

It rarely happens. If you can't get a couple goals you generally lose. Don't see too many 1-0 games.

Not going to go so far as to agree with your asshole comment but if an opposing fan comes over here and isn't trolling, I don't think anyone should have a problem with it at all.

Heck only a few days ago I went over to the Flyers board and I hate that friggen team but had a few things to say and they treated me just fine.

I don't see why it should be a big deal quite frankly as Blues fans seem more than cool with me.

1-0 win or 2-1 OTL, not so rare

That team is so f***ing boring.

Take your Stanley Cup and choke on it, I have no respect for teams like that.

Yeah, let's be exciting and never win a Cup.

Personally, I like winning with any style. If winning a Cup while playing a style you don't love is not exciting to you, I'm not sure why you would pay attention to any sport.
