Post-Game Talk: Devils @ Rangers 11/12/13

[NCRanger]

I don't understand why the whistle blew on that breakaway. That breakaway was not going endanger the Devils player (forgot who). Why was it whistled?

Gelinas. The same Devil ******* that got away with cross-checking Hagelin in the last minute of the game.

The worst part about it was that the Rangers had just tied the game, had some momentum, and a goal there makes it 3-2. Probably win the game.

Just like in the NFL, these "player safety" rules are going to cost teams wins. It happened tonight.

 

[Krams]

Any explanation as to why your fans booed as Gelinas was laying on the ice in pain after taking a puck to the face?

That was classless.

I think it's fairly self-explanatory to anyone who isn't being obnoxiously ****ing obtuse.

 

[ecemleafs]

I agree it probably shouldn't have been blown dead, but what makes some of you so sure Brassard scoring on that breakaway was a sure thing?

obviously its not a sure thing but we'd certainly like the opportunity to score on a breakaway late in the game.

 

[Richter Scale]

Am I the only one who thinks John Moore sucks? I haven't seen him play a good game in like a month. It is mind bottling that people are willing to trade MDZ, because he now have John Moore.

Hope McIlrath is ready soon.

I don't think he sucks. But he has been much more disappointing so far this year. Seems like he is struggling a bit more than others in the new defensive system.

Brassard has become a big ****ing black cap hole. Where the **** is he. where is the player from last year. disgusting

 

[Machinehead]

You brought nothing to the table other than saying "cave hockey"....speak english. The goal/play was McDonagh's fault as he just alluded to in the interview with Giannone. It wasn't Girardi's fault. G played a good game...again. Just because you, personally have a vendetta against someone, doesn't mean they played bad. You sound ridiculous.

Call it a vendetta if you want. I HATE the way Dan Girardi plays defense. I think it's the dumbest style you can play, causes more damage than good, and is only applicable to a player that doesn't skate well and has a low hockey IQ which pretty much describes Girardi to a T.

People around here love sacrifice. They love shot blocking. It may be admirable but it's 50/50 proposition that is responsible for as many goals as it prevents, and blocking a shot must be done with extreme discretion which Girardi has none of. If it's in the air, he's leaping at it. He doesn't think about anything else at all, particularly how his goaltender is positioned. It's irritating.

Because the Devils never had possession of the puck when the whistle was blown.

Hey, maybe we will win in Montreal finally!

Right?...

Typical Montreal.

 

[Chessarmy]

Goal scoring opportunity. Don't think it had anything to do with Gelinas injury.

But the stupidity of some Rangers fans has shocked me before.

Alright, well that answers the question. Fans just got a little too invested in the upcoming offensive chance.

Anyways, I'll leave now.

They were booing the ref calling the play dead...

 

[ImIdaho]

I agree it probably shouldn't have been blown dead, but what makes some of you so sure Brassard scoring on that breakaway was a sure thing?

Moot point.

Once you allow something like that slide earlier in the game (Dorsett), you should be consistent in that category, especially if it means the other team has a breakaway.

 

[Doctyl]

Hey, maybe we will win in Montreal finally!

Right?...

and we're under .500

 

[Machinehead]

I agree it probably shouldn't have been blown dead, but what makes some of you so sure Brassard scoring on that breakaway was a sure thing?

I believe it actually went in. Could be wrong.

 

[Ragnarok14]

Well his chances were better with a live play don't ya think?

 

[Moon Knight]

Brassard better click with Nash cause he's pretty damn useless right now

 

[Doctyl]

Brassard has become a big ****ing black cap hole. Where the **** is he. where is the player from last year. disgusting

hes setting up dorsett...

Have to agree. I like Girardi, but the style of D he plays is getting old. Seems like he's almost always involved in a deflection goal that ends up in the net.

That was classless.

Referees can't whistle it down when Rangers had the puck and Gelina wasn't endangered in the play. The boo's were to the referees.

 

[17futurecap]

Brassard would have scored on that break away because he would have closed his eyes as he shot it.

 

[Krams]

Well his chances were better with a live play don't ya think?

Debatable.

 

[Ghost of jas]

A couple of questions - 1) What the hell was Hagelin doing on the 2nd Carter goal? Hagelin had position, and yet he allowed Carter to beat him to the puck. 2) Why are people missing Stepan getting caught out of position on the GWer? Zucc went to Jagr, and Stepan, instead of staying with Zajac, got caught in no man's land.

Frustrating game...still not understanding why the whistle was blown when Gelinas got hit with the puck.

 

[Jabroni]

I tend to agree. It's nice having that "warrior, shot-blocking attitude" mentality, but he needs to be better positionally rather than throwing himself in front of puck every time.

That being said, McD is still at fault for the 3rd goal.

This was a rough one for sure, living in jersey my whole life there isn't a team/fanbase i hate losing to more than the ****ing debbies.

Pulliout needs to be scratched, miller seriously needs to be sent down to the AHL once nash gets back, and brassard has vanished.

It's great to see guys likes step, zucc, hags, and kreider step up when we had some injuries and are missing our #1 offensive threat, but the dissappearing act of some of the other guys has been rough.

Whether or not you want to blame G for that last goal (which I do) I am sick of his defensive game. I would sooner trade him at the deadline than pay him big bucks for the next 5 or 6 years and hope that his flopping in front of pucks defense doesn't seriously injure him and make signing him bite us in the ass.

 

[member 116805]

whats brassards cap hit this year?
would be interesting seeing a point per dollar set up for this team

 

[NCRanger]

Don't forget the quick whistle in the first period when Kreider clearly popped in a loose puck.
