Post-Game Talk: Game # 82 - Red Wings @ Rangers

[aufheben]

I think it was Brayden Schenn

It was. He was in on a partial breakaway. Murray made a sick save but his head got clipped.

Jeez Claude Julien looks like his dog just died or something. I forgot they did the same ****in thing last year.

People talking about pride ... how proud will you be when this team gets swept two weeks from now? Pride is one of the most embarrassing and unattractive qualities a person can have, and it's probably a reason why AV has insisted on stubbornly playing Glass for almost the entire season.

Playing Florida and Tampa/Detroit would have been an easier route for this already banged-up team. They're not the team they were in 2014 or 2015 and they'll lose EStaal and Yandle in the summer.

It's depressing that Hank will never win and that the Rangers will be a horrid team for a decade after he retires.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Time to root for the *ugh* Isles for their last 2 games....

why?

this is where fans gather

No way Pitt gets three points...They are resting everyone. Basically, asking them would you prefer to win your last 2 games and play Pens -> Caps in playoffs or lose your last 2 games and play Panthers -> TB in playoffs. hmmmm pretty easy decision.

Islanders win one game and we get Florida still, yeah? Islanders definitely have us in head to head. Two OTLs would not suffice though.

Needs to be 3 points in the next two games. Rangers have more ROW which is the first tiebreaker.

 

[FLYLine27*]

why?

So we play Florida?

 

[glees68]

Maf has been out for a couple weeks with a concussion...that's why Murray played.

I think he more so meant that they would've played Zatkoff if Fleury wasn't ready, but we'll see how it shakes out.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

If the Rangers were going to tank they would have just started Hank with the way he has been playing

 

[aufheben]

why?

*growls ferociously*

 

[2ndGenIslander]

For the next two games, we're all Islanders.

Even if the isles lose tonight, you'll still root for us tomorrow?!

Whenever we get to overtime, we always seemed to play for the shootout, which is why we have less row. Who would have known that would be a good thing

I am not sure what you are trying to say . . . there is no way they are out of the second spot so not sure how they would play panther and tb?

I know he has that's not my point. Even if he is getting better and was ok he still a) wouldn't be playing in this game and b) the penguins organization wouldn't make mention of it.
Just thought it would have been smarter to start zatkoff with nothing on the Line today rather than risk injury to your current starter

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Some happy stats, guys:

Sorry, meant to say the Isles, not pitt. Still hungover

 

[darko]

Bring on Pittsburgh

 

[Vitto79]

I was all about beating the wings so they lose on the playoffs then Boston had to suck

Now likely Pittsburgh who's on fire , ugh . Go isles 2 in a row

 

[ponytrekker]

I think he more so meant that they would've played Zatkoff if Fleury wasn't ready, but we'll see how it shakes out.

Murray just got knocked out by Schein.

Isles called up 3 guys - are they tanking for Florida?

Smart. Looking to get their first playoff series win in 23 years.

Of course they are. Why anyone thinks they won't is beyond me.

 

[NCRanger]

I also think the Islanders will get to the ECF.

 

[trilobyte]

You play your best when you take the ice. Easing off to skew the results is BS.
