Finishing is a distinct skill. It doesn't just happen because you create chances.

The refs were horrible but the Rangers didn't get enough pressure on the Canadiens D.
That being said how Miller's goal could be called back in the Flyers game and Galchenyuk's not tonight is really hard for me to understand. If anything the Miller non-goal was from a puck thrown into his feet by the Flyers goalie Steve Mason. To me that was a lot more credible than this one. The so-called Toronto war room where these decisions are made is a war room biased towards certain clubs--Montreal and Toronto being two such teams.
The call on Kreider was particularly egregious *********. Stopped a really good opportunity for Brassard to get in on Budaj as well. The call on John Moore very iffy and the one on Boyle on which Montreal scored the game winner was very bad.

Maybe we wouldn´t have won but without the refs ******** calls it would at least have been 0-0. Who knows what happens after taht.

Rangers picked a bad year to suck. The 2014 draft blows. 2013 and 2015 should have been the years to stink it up.

Have to tip your cap to Budaj. Rangers had more quality scoring chances, that's for sure.
Holy ****, was this game poorly officiated. Moore, Boyle, Kreider, and then even the Markov slashing call was a joke.
Positives are they've tightened up defensively and that we're finally seeing the Kreider that we've waited for.

I concur.
I'm generally the first one to say we suck and Jonathan isn't far behind....when the team actually sucks.
This was genuinely a game we were the better team in and ran into a mound of ****.

Really liked the energy level.
How the hell was the Galchenyuk goal good, but Miller's goal no good? Worst part is it is the same Toronto crew. Not like you can chalk it up to individual refs.

Budaj had the type of game where no matter what you threw at him he'd stop it. It happens.
I'm not diminishing his game but we couldn't net one friggin goal in our home opener against Budaj? This offense sucks.
I totally agree, saw enough of that. They would run out of options and try the low percentage shot on a wing and a prayer.
Me, I'm looking forward to getting some players back into the lineup, but it seems that is a common refrain.
Edit: my main point is that Budaj did bail out his team by just being very steady, quick and square to the play. He was in the right place. Habs defense isn't all that good

So you admit the team lacks finishing ability? And yet you still blame the coach? LOL. Your agenda is showing.
Good thing is the team is keeping games close and watchable. A lot of defensive breakdowns that Lundvquist mostly covered, and a lot of penalties. Budaj played great and the Canadians D blocked almost 30 shots. I feel the team is inching towards better things, and will be a lot better when we get the IR guys back.

Exactly. This is the EXACT type of game where I make a million angry posts (I bet 50,000 of my posts came during 5 or 6 losses like this
) before rage quitting. I hate when the team loses when they outplay the other team. The single worst type of loss. I'd rather them get blown out 9-0 again than lose a game like this.

Why can't those two views be reconciled? The team sucks offensively, and therefore the coach is a clown for playing an open style. He needs to wake up to what Torts before him realized and get this team grinding again.

You tell me what chance we had that would have been different if we had other personnel. I don't see anywhere where any of our very good chances would be different with another player shooting the puck. Budaj was that good tonight.
