Post-Game Talk: ECSF #1 - 5/16/13 | New York Rangers @ Boston Bruins - Damnit!

[Kreider4Prez]

Also, Dorsett is damn close to being useless. Inept offensively and ZERO discipline. And Eminger is a notch better than Hamrlik.

 

[Fataldogg]

You know what I find concerning. Ranger fans complaining about Lundqvist, saying if he is on we win 2-1, when if Nash gets a goal we win 3-2. Lundqvist has already done his fair share.Our $7.8 Million winger who we restructured our team around has 0 goals in 8 games.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Whatever. Its only adversity. Our Game 1 against the Caps was much worse.

 

[ImIdaho]

This board is so God damn polarizing. Some people make it sound like we lost a 3-2 game in OT. Others make it sound like we lost 8-0 and we are in line for the #1 pick in the draft.

If both teams played neck and neck, there wouldn't be much fuss about it. However, our PP pales in comparison to theirs, they created more offensive pressure than we did, and they know how to attempt shots unlike us.

 

[Riverdale]

Seriously. When is Callahan going to realize that his level of play right now is unacceptable?

He's been doing the fancy ******** non-stop all season so don't count on it.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Playing Eminger in the OT was comical.

This is such a dumb post. I guess you are hoping for a Stu Bickel situation every playoffs.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

are you serious ? just look at the play again! pass was deflected and no way Nash is guilty of that goal

I did, it was tipped slightly but it still went into the general area it was supposed to. It wasn't going to tape to tape, but McD over skated.

I don't think it was even intended for Nash.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If they go to OT again I'm just not even ****ing going to bother watching.

Not over til they lose 4. But that was damn frustrating.

 

[Black Aces]

But, then, isn't he also the reason the game didn't end in regulation?

Rebound control bro

 

[Jabroni]

Well, for him to stop every single puck is unrealistic. He's the reason they got farther into OT. He stopped that Bruins power play in the beginning.

Both of those goals were on him. If you want to give him the Chara one, fine. But, the second one definitely was stoppable. I'm one of the last people to bash Hank. Also I'm not saying we lost because of him. I'm saying that those goals were stoppable.

 

[Zil]

We're now 3-11 in playoff ot games since the end of the second lockout. Ugh.

 

[Trxjw]

Series is over, man.

You'd think we just got blown out 10-0 reading this garbage. Gives me a freaking migraine even trying to read though this drivel.

 

[BB58]

Ok was is just me or was brass' pass completely on target and Nash didnt even try and get it/missed it

He just likes to float.......

 

[BroadwayHockey]

So he goes from "Brass God" to "Idiot! You're not Crosby!" because the guy with the longest reach in the NHL tipped what would have been a great pass? Yep. Pretty typical with this board. Just kinda sad at this point.

0-3 on the powerplay and Lundqvist gives up two soft goals. Game should have never made it to OT in the first place.

so true!

try to win the next game!

 

[ImIdaho]

But, then, isn't he also the reason the game didn't end in regulation?

With the way the Bruins were playing in the third, I doubt we make it out of regulation.

 

[Kershaw]

.938 save percentage. Not sure what you want from a goalie.

Rangers again brutally outplayed at ES. Stone age hockey and shooting gallery for Boston.

You do know im a stu bickel hater......... Eminger is our next bickel..... Dont even try to defend him.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

No, he's become blameless. People that get mad about his soft goals are immediately labeled as haters. Want to know how I know? I have a list of people who act that way.

He is, in fact, blameless to a number of people on this board. And they happen to be very, very vocal about it and quite nasty about it

I put the main blame on Hank. He made some phenomenal saves and the total # of saves was very high but that's bc boston had 16 shots in OT. We win in reg if he saves one of the crappy goals he gave up. One was a Chara slapper totally unscreened that trickled behind him and when he snow angeled he knocked it in on himself. The other was a point shot unscreened that hit no one and he just missed it with his glove.

That said the F did everything in their power to get me to shift the blame away that's for sure. Absolutely pathetic ass ****show in the 3rd and OT. They had 4 on 1's in their own zone and lost the battle for the puck. it was vomit inducing

 

[Holocene]

Move Callahan to the 4th line with Richards and put Kreider with Stepan and Hagelin. Callahan has been disastrous outside of game 7.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Seriously. When is Callahan going to realize that his level of play right now is unacceptable?

You can't really blame Cally for this. He is playing with Step. Cally doesn't really play Steps game. So he is trying to fit in on that line.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

agreed there are people who defend him to no end. but in this game, blaming him for the loss is ridiculous. wait, didn't you say you didn't even watch this game? bad penalties, the most pathetic pp, passive pk, and no shows by nash, cally, and countless other forwards I would blame before blaming hank IN THIS GAME.

Yep, I probably won't be able to watch the rest of the series unless I upgrade the internet at my summer place. I am probably going to have to do that if it doesn't improve in a couple of days.

If both teams played neck and neck, there wouldn't be much fuss about it. However, our PP pales in comparison to theirs, they created more offensive pressure than we did, and they know how to attempt shots unlike us.

If both teams played neck-and-neck, I'd assume we lost 3-2 late in OT.

 

[JohnC]

I'll defend Hank till the death but that 1st goal. Yikes

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Wow! I have never understood how bad this board gets after losses until tonight. Don't get me wrong, I have contributed my fair share of negativity to this board. But people are literally complaining about everything about this team.

Rangers didn't play that bad. They can beat this team.

they want shutouts apparently. totally realistic!
