I am so sick of hearing how many posts we have hit. this game is a game of inches everywhere whether it's the blue line for offsides, a puck nicking a goalie, a post, a missed pass, etc. It's all a matter of inches. Someone else said it, you make your own luck. You make your luck through effort and habits. We don't deserve the luck the way we play for the most part.
That "you make your own luck" thing is a bunch of bull. We have had very little luck including hitting a ton of posts this year even when we have played well. Now that doesn't mean we haven't played like ass for large portions of this year.

Sure, except virtually every good team will say it's true, and the only ones that say it's not are teams looking for excuses.

Thank goodness there was no TSN back then. They would have given him the Kreider-on-Price treatment.
In case you’re interested:


Apparently Plante high sticked Bathgate.

"He cut my ear and my face. He could have broken my neck," Bathgate said. "Next shift, I went down the left wing and I was trying to score around the net. I used the backhand and gave him a 'little bowtie' on the face.”
 
Posts are overrated imo, goalies job is to cut down the angles and give you nothing to shoot at. The goalies give them so little to shoot at that they miss the net completely. If they shot half an inch differently it just would’ve hit the goalie instead, that’s how angles work. It’s not just bad luck, we just aren’t good at offense
I disagree. I understand sometimes it's a game of inches but this year has been an outlier when it comes to hitting posts, way more than other years. I can't remember 1 game this year that I said "yeah, we got lucky there". Not one.

The Rangers have never used it as an excuse to my knowledge.
 
Kravtsov going to have a lot to tell Turk during the airing of grievances at Festivus this year
Kravtsov next time Gallant scratches him

How many games in a row can it be bad luck though? If you were playing Chel against your buddy and beat him every single game by the 30th time he’s not gonna be able to say you just got lucky anymore lol
I don’t believe in luck honestly, not sustained luck anyhow. This is not bad luck, it’s a pattern
 
This is a big third period. Igor is looking like himself, the Rangers just need to get back to the patient game they played in the first and the start of the second.

Defense first. Let the play come to you and don’t chase. Start forechecking. Team game. They get some chances LGR

Correct bc even they know it's bs. The fans use it as an excuse though.

“Brod go do the media spot we have to gameplan.”
That interview isn't going to affect him for his 3 mins in the third

Been wondering for a minute, but what is Chel?
