Nash doesn't need to split the defense...It's the playoffs, you go for efficiency over flash. Why do you think Ovechkin is setting up his teammates with gaping, wide-open nets almost every time he's on the ice? He's one of the most dangerous guys in the world with the puck in the offensive zone...Nash doesn't seem to have any brains...or effort recently. He needs to draw guys to him, then kick it out to an open man....instead he floats through with his dangles, loses it, and watches our guys play defense...I don't want this guy if he will be playing like this.

Yeah, I'm as disappointed in that as you are. He can't just lug the puck as a single player, he has to use his teammates. If he carries speed with the unit coming up ice he could get some space, but taking it on his own up the middle, just chews time off the clock and then they have to head back.

He flashes glove for 2 and a half games, then allows a short side glove hand goal to a guy who scored 2 goals all year.

I'm very happy Hank doesn't feel the need to show off in net. His performance speaks for itself.

This is why I hate guys like him and Fleury. Always windmillin' the glove on soft, easy saves. Bring it down a notch, neither of them are that good to be showboating.

I don't see how you defend a guy who has one goal in 27 playoff games for us. 9 points in 27 games.

Would like some thoughts on our "superstar's play" He is so lethargic out there, he is making Richards look like Hagelin. I honestly thought he would be smarter when we got him, he seems so dumb sometimes.

Its the playoffs!! Games are much tighter and Nash has less room out there to operate... Atleast he is creating chances and drawing defenders now if he can only put the puck on net or dish it to a open teammate when he draws 2 defenders we would have a few more scoring opportunities... I dont see any other Ranger out there being a constant threat everytime on the ice besides nash... Atleast he is engaged and noticeable most shifts!

1 goal in 27 NHL playoff games. I know they're all struggling to score, but he's the team's first line center and, along with Callahan and Nash, needs to get on the score sheet.

EDIT: Richards needs to show up as well.

Yeah. A "terrible team." See, this is the ridiculous hyperbole that makes me not take you seriously.

I don't see why I'm wrong. They're awful without Lundqvist.

What do you think this team's record would be with Biron or another average NHL tender?

Edit: Nice Brassard!
