What the hell did those construction workers do to the ice at the Garden? It's worse than it was last year and it was terrible last year.

They invited the basketball team back.

The puck was definitely bouncing all over the place.

 

[aufheben]

Aaaand back to .500...

 

[Idlerlee]

And Zucc has such a great shot and ways to beat the goalie, he's our shootout specialist for a reason. Don't know what he was thinking about either.

I'm willing to attest it to a temporary lack of oxygen to the brain. AV must agree since he keeps logging monster minutes. 2 game no point streak though.. must put up one next match or its lineswap time

 

[Pastafazul*]

took till the end of game for a rangers player , moore, to take the puck up instead of dumpin and chasin and not once but twice puts puck on net for none of his teammates to be in position to knock it in, AV how bout tryin something differnt in a game like this???? i don't mind losin. its how you lose!

lundy great game but the one you gave up had you held position NO GOAL!

boyle is terrible, and girardi better not play another game!

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Totally ridiculous. It's too far into the season for .500.

 

[Riverdale]

Oh wow. So I have gathered the following from this thread:

1) Trade MDZ
2) Bench Pouiliot
3) Bench Brassard
4) Send Miller down
5) Stralman lost the game
6) Trade for a scoring winger
7) Refs screwed us
8) Callahan was invisibile

Anything else?

Something about Girardi being awful

 

[Kakko]

The problem isn't that they can't finish. They just refused to shoot.

We're playing .500 hockey, a quarter through the season, and have played a crazy amount of hard teams. No reason to panic.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What does this have to do with anything though? Did they decide not to score on a 5-3 or on all the other PP's bc the kings scored first?

In case you missed it from the Devils game, he brought up our record when we allowed the first goal. When I and other fans told him that it didn't matter because we responded 18 seconds later his brilliant argument was "did we give up the first goal? Did we win?" In other words the Rangers lost that game after allowing the first goal because they were 1-8 when allowing the first goal. Brilliant analysis. His ability to read the stat sheet (1-8 aaaaahhhh) was the reason he's 100% right as he told us. He also told us that he'll be reminding us and here he is. I've never seen such an amazing combination of ignorance and arrogance. To quote Metallica's Holier Than Thou "arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand".

 

[aufheben]

I'm not panicing, I just want those 3 hours of my life back. Oh well, Kreider destroying Voynov was cool.

 

[Idlerlee]

Surprisingly though, all NHL teams lose matches sometimes.

If we lose, I'm at least happy we've stopped being collectively annihilated by the opposition

 

[LORDE]

Only in Ranger land do you dump the puck in w :10 secs to go... Down 1-0.

How f-in dumb can you be?!?

 

[ajdj10]

It wasn't a 5-4 game???? That's not hockey!!!


Widen the nets about two feet and shut everyone up

They should just do what we do in Australian Rules Football and award a point for missing the goal still.

It was deflected a few feet in front of him.

Not his fault.

I may not have seen it properly at the game, but his legs looked really badly positioned.

 

[ThisYearsModel]

If Henrik does not stand on his head, the game is a 5-0 loss. The Kings are an excellent team, and they are huge. They consistently came off the walls with the puck and massacred u in the faceoff circle. Their puck support and passing was far superior, and they punished guys that went in front of their goal. The better team won. We move on.

 

[MollerManor]

So I usually like to look at opposing teams PGT for the laughs, but you guys are just a super boring read. No offense.

No hot heads, reasonable analysis on the game, and the only silly comment on here and 5+ people countered immediately.

Props to your team and fans (and your superb goalie). Hey, you can always look at the game as you guys kicked in TWO goals tonight...

Jesus, I should take a look at other team's boards..

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This is the exact kind of garbage game that I'd like to see less of. The Kings are too talented (granted they've been injured) to play this boring soul killing hockey.

Seems like a good portion of the fans think that the Rangers played well but just couldn't finish on great chances. No reasonable analysis there. I literally can't remember one chance that wasn't anything special. When the big chance I can think of is a wraparound you know the team didn't do ****.

Same thing every year. Nothing changes.

Might add that they draft and trade well to boot. They might be the biggest team in the league. Pouliot looks like he is ready to sit one or two games.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Totally ridiculous. It's too far into the season for .500.

That '11-'12 team everyone is so fond of was 11-7-2 in the first 20 that's four more points than we currently have two by way of OT or shootout loss. Essentially they were two games above .500 and hadn't dealt with half the **** this team has.

 

[MollerManor]

One word. Canucks. Free laughs for all.

I have to disagree with you here... we are a defense first team. Boring is what we do. gritty, heavy hitting, but boring, boring offensive play.
