GDT: ECF #6 - 05/29/14 | Montreal Canadiens @ New York Rangers | 8:00 - NBC SPORTS, CBC

Need that break to regroup. Most importantly for Henrik who wasn't tested much and is on edge.

Can't stress how important scoring a goal or two will do for his confidence right now.

 

[The Gloaming]

Plekanec talking about embellishment. That's funny, considering that he snaps his head back 30 times a game.

 

[Cassano]

Rangers win this game if they continue playing like they did in the first

 

[member 116805]

Zucc could easily have had 2 that period

 

[GFiP*]

Same **** as game 3, dominate and lose. It's the ranger way

 

[Ragnarok14]

No it wasn't. It was great D to push him towards the boards and not let him get a clean wrap around attempt.

It seemed like he could have come around farther and had a better shot as Tokarski was down though. Overall Nash looks good though lately.

 

[Oak]

Good period. I see the #plekanecing trend is continuing. Stay classy Habs.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

No it wasn't. It was great D to push him towards the boards and not let him get a clean wrap around attempt.

I agree, Nash did the best he could. Step wasn't offering enough puck support imo. He was too far outside of the slot.

I am really hating Steps play in this game so far.

 

[ChrisKreider20]

Zucc has improved his skating tremendously. He is flat out speedy now.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I can't remember a team ever embellishing as much and as obviously as the habs. If I were a canadian I'd be incensed and embarassed that these guys are carrying my name

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Another 2 like that and I think we have this.

Rangers win this game if they continue playing like they did in the first

Yes. but will they is the question. 2nd periods have been a disaster.

 

[bigbluebird]

Its as if backup goalies are kryptonite to them.

I know it's like Diehard 17--seen this movie way too many times...

 

[ThisYearsModel]

Not good to dominate and not cash in.

 

[BB58]

Penguins and Canadiens.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Plekanec is everything there is wrong about hockey.

He looks like a ghetto fake thug version of Yashin.

So he looks exponentially douchier and dives exponentially more

 

[NCRanger]

The bad Garden bounces are back.

No puck luck.

Probably outplayed Montreal by a significant margin, but it's 0-0...

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Come on boys, build off that period, keep it on them until we bury a few. Let's goooooo

Hey man, his turtleneck's sensitive, ok?

...Staal, why?...

 

[Holocene]

Usual horrible 2nd period incoming.

 

[BB58]

The bad Garden bounces are back.

No puck luck.

Probably outplayed Montreal by a significant margin, but it's 0-0...

Have you seen the crazy bounces last game? This is nothing compare to bush league ice condition of theirs.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Not too happy with that period. The away team weathered our storm and we have nothing to show for it.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

we gotta score quick in 2nd

 

[hfman]

great period by new York but the worst scenario possible.

We've seen it all series... New York puts on the pressure... can't score... then Montreal sneaks in a goal... game over. This is, *again*, the IDENTICAL scenario to most of the prior games in this series. If this pattern repeats again, then the outcome will be that these teams are headed for a game 7, which will also be the worst case scenario. If the Rangers lose tonight, and with this repetitive pattern it looks like they will, then the series is totally over - there's 0% chance they will win in Montreal - zero.

That said - I'm rootin for the Rangers, so they have to keep it together and find a way to break this pattern and find a way to pull this one out.

Guys did you know that we lost our home ice advantage for the game already. I guess the boys are hopping on jets right now to go finish playing the game somewhere else.

 

[Cassano]

Not nearly as good of a player either...
