GDT: Islanders @ Rangers 10/14/14 - Part II

[MysticLeviathan]

It's like we can't hold a lead, and when we give up that goal, we just fall apart It's the reason we couldn't win the Cup. I'm cvery concerned for this team right now. Our defense is garbage, our O still struggles to score, and we can't hold a lead when we get one. What do you do?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Better to get these games out of the way early, I think.

I won't argue that if we end the same way we did last year, I'll be happy. But **** man, they are an embarrassment while trying to "find their identify" early in the season.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I wonder how Hayes feels after two decent individual performances and 12 goals against. Welcome to the NHL!

 

[trilobyte]

It's just that the bad is so huge

 

[Cassano]

He gave up. I can't blame him tonight.

Bad bounces, brainfarts, defensive coverage **** ups and poor goaltending. Sums up a disastrous night.

Other than that, I think this is fixable.

 

[Thunderhead]

We'll beat Carolina for sure .

 

[BroadwayBlues]

This is way too ****ing similar to last year. And the most embarrassing thing is they can't even use the "new coach, system" excuse anymore. What the ****.

It's one thing to get off to a slow start, do they have to get slaughtered?

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

I preferred losing by 2.

 

[mrmovies779]

the team gave up after the 3rd goal,it was clearly evident.Strictly going through the motions now.

 

[Dalagaze]

Kostka out there with McDonagh? I give up.

 

[JCrusher*]

He gave up. I can't blame him tonight.

to be fair he has been terrible so far

 

[eco's bones]

Is it time to put up the post game thread yet?

I was thinking Michael Kostka was having a pretty decent first game--and then....

Anyway I turned the game off. If I were capable of feeling embarrassed for the team I would feel embarrassed. Tonight is just a lost cause.

 

[Fugazy]

AV is a big part of this loss running Kostka's useless corpse out there. What the **** was he thinking?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

It's a good thing you don't lose points for losing by a certain number of goals..

 

[Noooooooooooooooo]

Another sick blowout lollllllllll

 

[nyrleetch]

I don't know about you guys, but I think we might finish this year with 47 points. Lightning get McDavid start a dynasty. Lundqvist past his prime. Islanders going to destroy us for next 14 years.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Rick Nash just left.

He needs to change a diaper.

 

[MrEctions]

we're 4 games in

I fully understand that but there's no reason for the mental lapses this year, unlike last year where you has a new system and a long road start. This shouldn't be so out of sync this year.

 

[Ail]

Rangers destroying the corsi battle

Link pls

 

[Fugazy]

We'll beat Carolina for sure .

Yeah if we put 8 goals up on the scoreboard.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

So much wrong. From MSL playing center. To destabilizing the defense on the account of not playing Allen/McIlrath. To mixing and matching the offensive lines and not creating balance...

 

[Fataldogg]

What happened? Kostka happened.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Maybe Henrik should go see the eye doctor Rick Vaughan went to

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Bad bounces, brainfarts, defensive coverage **** ups and poor goaltending. Sums up a disastrous night.

Other than that, I think this is fixable.

The D is not good and a lot of the offense is playing like ****.

Yes, it is fixable. But right now they've had 2 good periods (1st period of the 1st game, 2nd period tonight) in the first 4 games of the season.

Zuke, McD, Hank need to step it up, and Step needs to come back and play like a 1C.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Torts would have destroyed Kostka at the end of the bench. lol
