[Hire Sather]

Nothing Hank could do on the 2nd goal

Could stop a backhander on the first one, though.

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh needs to sit if he's gonna keep costing us goals.

 

[Florida Ranger]

That Neal goal was going in regardless of Hank's glove getting interfered with or not...

 

[Kakko]

That's a good goal, even if it is GI

Penalty called, but play is still alive, because Pens don't have control of the puck. Puck goes into net. Goal.

 

[KingStian]

Can't review goalie interference. There was no call on the ice where there should've been. This is why a case can be made for a coach's challenge flag or something of that ilk to review plays where calls should've been made. Terrible non call.

It fine that you can't call it from the review, but they should be able to to catch the ****ing interference live. This is the second blatant missed call against us. Fist the slash to St. Louis' knee.

 

[MrEctions]

Its gonna be a series where we have to fight the reffing too. You know that going into any series with the darling Pens. It is what it is.

 

[aufheben]

This 2nd period...

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Henrik Lundqvist is not a Stanley cup goaltender. It's becoming clear now. He just never makes the big save. NEVER.

He did. He was damn good in the first period. amazing stuff. The WHOLE TEAM has let him down this period. Oh come on. Get real

 

[Kakko]

“@PLeonardNYDN: Rangers with three shots on goal this periodâ€

Thank for the update RB!

 

[CommaSynapse]

I feel like Girardi should've watched his side on that first goal.

Keep the hope, guys.

Still got a ways to go, and we can beat them as long as we adjust to their strategy of using the late man. We got their number.

That said, Stepan is slower than dog **** that's frozen to a NYC sidewalk.

 

[rdhstlr23]

I'm just so tired of the teams mentality to sit on leads. It was instilled in them by Torts. They were developed that way. Where are oir defenseman joining the rushes? Where is the forecheck?

 

[haohmaru]

Henrik Lundqvist is not a Stanley cup goaltender. It's becoming clear now. He just never makes the big save. NEVER.

Yup. That's why he's won four game 7's and has a career 1.00 GAA in those games. He can't deal with the pressure.

 

[mike14]

He made the save on Neil. Are you blind? Stop being so ****ing ignorant.

I'm not blaming Hank cos Neal is a ****ing sniper, but he didn't make the save. he a got a bit of it and it went thru (over) him

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Didn't seem like it would've made a difference if Malkin didn't touch Hank.
I don't think Hank even knew where it was.

It probably would have hit him in the glove, so I don't know why it matters if he knew where it was or not.

The refs in this league are such ****. I think goalie interference is such a **** call, but when the player prevents the goalie from making the save which they would have made, thats goalie interference. Malkin clearly prevented Hank from catching the puck.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Hank has been great, I'm not gonna knock him for anything that went down here.

The first was absolutly on the guy pinching like a decade too late. The second, he made an insane save, bad bounce. Whatchu gonna do?

0-0 LGR !!!!!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Henrik Lundqvist is not a Stanley cup goaltender. It's becoming clear now. He just never makes the big save. NEVER.

How is he supposed to make that save with the interference?

 

[Thunderhead]

If we lose this game , I'm going to watch "Martyrs" right after .

 

[AlternateSideParking]

This is the kind of game where you need MSL and Nash to take over.

And Stepan would have 30 more goals this season if he learned to shoot off the pass. Waiting to tee up a shot all the time does nothing.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

AV's Canucks had a reputation for sitting on leads, too.

 

[rdhstlr23]

We're seriousky just clearing the puck. That's it. We've got no chance.

 

[Riverdale]

Worst period of the playoffs.

Holy crap this is awful

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This period has been utter domination. What happened to McDonagh. His injury is a cop out.

 

[Florida Ranger]

DE-CLINE.

Please

 

[Callagraves]

McD is my favorite Ranger, except maybe Zucc and Hank.

He's killing me. He's injured. We know. It's killing us.

 

[Doctyl]

Has anyone watched this game? Anyone actually blaming this on Hank knows nothing about hockey. Hank has been great this game. Complete breakdown and "legal interference" as AV would say. Can't blame this on Hank at all
