Post-Game Talk: ligjt

[huerter]

Not gonna win these type of games (even if Strome had the game on his stick) against this team. Play the kids more and open things up a bit saturday even if Shesty has to make 40 plus saves.

Open things up....2 on 1 the other way, goal, everyone posts that the season is over. Sounds fun!

I am not the one coming back here trying to collect with the “I told you so”. Gtfo of here with that shit. Piss poor timing, keep it to your f***ing self

Seems like everyone is doing just that including you

 

[Machinehead]

Cool. How many does he have this series? What happened at the end of game 3 and game 5?

I'm not having the "why isn't Kreider Eric Lindros?" conversation again.

 

[tlk]

Been here before. Done their job before. Do yours (even tho it's an armchair one) - cut the crap.

 

[Siddi]

Always what excuses? He was an MVP candidate and we are in the ECF going into game 6. When has there been need for excuses?

For every deflection and screened shot there is excuses. News flash, Vasy also had to deal with deflections and screened shots.

 

[bbny]

At least that'll stop @bbny from proposing insane strategies to keep him.

I hope they keep him just to annoy you.

My brother and I were talking about this before the game. At some point your goalie has to steal a game. With Hank we win 1-0 tonight.

You don't know that. Hank allowed plenty of goals that had people bitching and saying he couldn't handle the pressure.

 

[LokiDog]

The poll should be who is the HFNYR most negative poster, hands down and all of the options should be Lokidog74 because that’s what I was told in the GDT. But I voted papa John’s. It’s those better ingredients.

 

[Florida Ranger]

It hurts even more because I gotta live with these fans...

 

[bl02]

it's 11:13pm, so im predicting a Lafreniere hat trick in game 6 to send us home for game 7

in 9 minutes of ice time? that would be a record or something.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

You don't know that. Hank allowed plenty of goals that had people bitching and saying he couldn't handle the pressure.

Those people are idiots.

 

[RGY]

I'm not having the "why isn't Kreider Eric Lindros?" conversation again.

Wtf does this even mean? Using your strengths offensively and playing proper defense is too much to ask? That means we are expecting him to be Eric Lindros? Who isnt a comparable at all anyway… the f*** you talking about guy??

 

[DialUp]

Lol trade everyone. Especially Igor that float blind . Kreider, the Kids, all of them big trash piles. Anger, pain, suffering, hate.

We had palat kill us for what 10 years now. What the hell more do people want. The team is going to look different next year. The important pieces will still be here.

This all sucks absolutely. Infinitely sucks. Cosmic suckage. Next year will be better. Year after that too, and the following.

 

[CasusBelli]

Congratulations.

What? No trophy?

 

[bbny]

You don't know that. Hank allowed plenty of goals that had people bitching and saying he couldn't handle the pressure.

People just have short memories. Hank lost Game 7 of the 2015 ECF on a trashy "bodies in front" kind of goal also, and against Tampa Bay too.

 

[Synergy27]

That’s complete bull. The score would’ve been 2-1 with prime Lundqvist in net.

Show me one video when Hank saves a deflection right in front of the goal while being screened . I will wait

It’ll be hard to find a video because saves like that don’t tend to be highlight reel, put that in the memory bank types. They happened though.

This doesn’t matter though. All I’m saying is that you need a couple of shutouts during a Cup run. You need to win a game 1-0. Tonight was the night that needed to happen.

Igor is great. I don’t fault him for the loss. But the team needed him to shut the door tonight because the guy on the other side did just that.

 

[will1066]

Could still be hurt

He's probably banged up, yes.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hope they keep him just to annoy you.

me and everyone else who doesn't enjoy watching players completely whiff on empty nets.

this was 23920392030232039 times worse than the Kakko one, at least kakko had a tough angle. I could have scored the one he whiffed on tonight.

 

[ViD]

He dragged his team to the Cup finals without any scoring help. Igor have had superior goal support and havent stole a single game yet.

Also, f*** off.

Are you trying to tell me that a guy who didn’t go below 900 SV% in every game this play offs except two and whose average SV% is .930 and whose expected goals against rate breaking every record never stole a game ? Stop embarrassing yourself

 

[2Leetch_94]

For every deflection and screened shot there is excuses. News flash, Vasy also had to deal with deflections and screened shots.

It's countered with having Ryan Strome and an open net. He scores, Rangers win, Igor "steals" the game like you're all desperate for and is one win away from the magical SCF that Lundqvist made one time in his career despite apparently never getting beat for goals.

 

[Siddi]

Igor was excellent lmao what on earth?

Dont be like this. I know you love to play the contrarian part on these boards but even you understand that no matter how many flashy saves Igor has he comes short when it really matters. He cant lock it down. Period.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

You all do realize that the winning goal was scored directly off yet another terrible icing call.

League is not going to let Tampa lose. Period.

Faceoffs?

They were EVEN through four games. Tonight, Tampa dominated. That’s not explainable, other than refs were winning faceoffs for Tampa with their skates.

Tampa was committing fouls all night long and NOTHING was called. NOTHING!

Tampa isn’t losing at home.

NHL isn’t going to allow a ridiculously compressed Final.

I don’t know why I invest so much time into a team that just isn’t going to be allowed to win.

Justin Bieber will have his concert. That is all, good sir!

 

[RGY]

Seems like everyone is doing just that including you

What the f*** am I collecting on? I have believed in this team all year. Oh wait because I am criticizing Kreider’s uninspired and mediocre play? That means what? Again gtfo.

 

[LoveGoons]

Our core players are trying to be too fancy.. just shoot the puck and go to the net. They put on the big boy pants and finish their check.. but they are gassed and will let themselves get pushed around game 6 and get blown out..

 

[IronBloodedLion]

That’s where my head is at on some level. I’m disappointed and frustrated, but a bunch of kids are competing with the defending Stanley Cup champions.
