Post-Game Talk: Lightning @ Rangers 2/10/13 "The Adventures of Wade Richards and Rick Gomez"

[Clowes Line]

Rick Gomez is just so funny

I just read it and laugh

 

[dmjt4160]

Hags, Cally, Hank

Hank kept it in check early, Callahan was really strong all night, Hagelin obviously a big night. Pretty much everyone was good tonight, Richards/Miller/Kreider were meh but a damn good win.

 

[Panfork]

Good game.

Asham gets the John Tortorella fist pump. What an honor.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I'm mocking those "people" from the GDT. The title is not my opinion

Wait a minute

...I think they're ridiculous as well but you can't put quotes around people, that implies they're some kind of non-human creature with the ability to post on a message board

 

[Blue777]

Great game!
Too bad they messed up Hanks Shutout.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Hagelin had 3 points.

I'm aware. Is it my vote for players of the game or yours?

Jerk.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Wait a minute

I think he's saying that they are lower life forms than people.

Jerk.

uh ok, didnt know if you knew that, thats all. classy response

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Also, it's really nice that Hank and the Offense were on the same page for once. Offense puts up a big game and Hank doesn't let by any crap goals.

 

[rholt168]

Heave ho two in a row.

 

[Dalagaze]

Bad Luck Brian should've been a poll choice haha

 

[Nanaki]

What's the new song they play when the Rangers win at the garden?

 

[LittleKev6D9]

I thought Nash played a decent game. He creates a lot of chances. Just a matter of time until he starts putting more in. He set up Hagelin's 1st goal and drew a penalty by protecting the puck on a wrap around and made a nice little dangle to get a chance in front. Also, saw him with a few takeaways. He's nowhere near deserving of the title Rick Gomez.

Mods. Do your magic.

When Hank plays like he did tonight the offense can afford to risk getting caught cause he'll make the big saves. That's how you should use an elite goalie; to create offense.

 

[Clowes Line]

Only thing that sucks about tonight is that we scored 5 goals. Shutout loss to Boston incoming.

Nash should have had 2 goals.. getting a goal because it goes off your glove is crazy.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Sportswriters got it right. I thought it was a pretty obvious:

Hags
Hank
Nash

Pretty much everyone had a solid game, but others that stood out to me for HMs were McD and Asham.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Nothing to complain about, IMO. I really like the Halpern/Powe PK tandem, and I thought was very good all night. Even though he didn't have a point, it was his pressure on the puck that led to both the Callahan and Asham goals. I also thought the 2nd PP unit of Kreider/Miller/Gaborik looked better than the first unit. I think this team is primed to get on a roll.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

That was last year when we had an incompetent offense.

 

[NYRSchrute217]

Rolling 4 lines nicely. I'm liking Powe a lot.

Pretty dominating performance and starting to get back to Rangers hockey. Got to keep it going though with Boston Tuesday. Afterwards, we have a slight break in the schedule (NYI, WAS, MTL, OTT, MTL, WPG)

 

[Muh]

Hank gets my first star. How many times did he save us on odd man rushes in the first period? I can't count that high.

Hagelin and Callahan get my other two votes. Nash HM.

Outside of those first period breakdowns, was a really solid game by the whole team.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Nash had 2 pts and a +4 tonight. horrible game.

 

[Callagraves]

Wait a minute

...I think they're ridiculous as well but you can't put quotes around people, that implies they're some kind of non-human creature with the ability to post on a message board

Sounds about right.

 

[Clowes Line]

McDonagh not getting enough love in the poll IMO.
