GDT: MDSF #1 - 04/17/14 | Philadelphia Flyers @ New York Rangers | 7:00 - MSG, CNBC

[Raspewtin]

Nash is very lazy.. MSL looking good.. please put him with Richards just for this period

Oh man your agenda shows hard here. Both have sucked pretty bad.

 

[Fitzy]

The Richards line has been fine. More effective than the first line.

We're not sitting Nash in a playoff game. Every line with Richards has lacked chemistry all year.

 

[Kakko]

Keep it up, and we should win, barring a terrible mistake

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Drives me insane how on any given night, Boyle is one of our best forwards.

It's like Bizarro Torts teams.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Richards having a very good game

 

[Hunter Gathers]

We're not sitting Nash in a playoff game. Every line with Richards has lacked chemistry all year.

He has chemistry with Fast and Hagelin. I think it's pretty obvious they do. I never said anything about sitting Nash, either.

 

[nevesis]

No idea WTF Hank was doing on the rebound with 9 seconds left. That was horrible and created a huge scoring chance for Philly. Just God-awful.

It took a wild bounce and if he misplays it, its in the net. He played it safe by just butterflying and making sure it wouldn't go in. Looked ugly though.

 

[ThePokeCheck]

Looking good actually. We're far better than this team. Goals will come.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It took a wild bounce and if he misplays it, its in the net. He played it safe by just butterflying and making sure it wouldn't go in.

It was a terrible rebound to give up and he's a guy who gives up terrible rebounds. It's been the same **** all year, man. No need to white knight the guy.

 

[trilobyte]

Kane sneaks in to tie it, all alone, no mistake

Edit: I meant go-ahead

 

[Vidic15*]

Time to move Nash or MSL to a different line.

 

[Fitzy]

He has chemistry with Fast and Hagelin. I think it's pretty obvious they do. I never said anything about sitting Nash, either.

I'd contest the point, just because he's playing with two speed players and he can't keep up enough with them to sustain a play.

 

[nevesis]

It was a terrible rebound to give up and he's a guy who gives up terrible rebounds. It's been the same **** all year, man. No need to white knight the guy.

I'm just telling you why he played it the way he did. It took a weird bounce.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I'd contest the point, just because he's playing with two speed players and he can't keep up enough with them to sustain a play.

He's skated with them all night. Frankly, I think playing with two quicker players has made him up his game.

[nevesis]

Stop.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Rangers have like 2.5 functional lines right now. First line is completely ineffective. St.Louis is putting in a ton of effort. Nash is not asserting himself at all. He seems to be "going through the motions." Step(the biggest problem on that line)made one nice defensive play but seems to be "sleepy" with most of the O zone time.

4th line is the best line. Boyle may be their best player right now(thats high praise coming from me). But, the Rangers can't rely on them to score goals. They are doing their part neutralizing Flyers big guns. You can't ask much more.

Zuc line has played solid but can't do it all.

Richards line is a roller coaster.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I'm just telling you why he played it the way he did. It took a weird bounce.

He needs to hold onto it or aim the rebound better. I don't care what bounce it took. That was terrible and he put it right out for the Flyers to get a huge chance with. It was a horrible play by Hank. You do know he sucks with rebounds, right?

 

[Trxjw]

A guy who can't skate shouldn't be playing the 4v4.

If NYR shorten the bench it should be the Richards line that bites the dust. Not a criticism, but they have been the least effective unit.

Hagelin has had a decent game. Fast is playing like a typical rookie in his first playoff game. Richards is up to his usual "pass to nobody" antics.

The Brassard line and the 4th line have been our best lines tonight.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Anyone catch the ninja headshot from Schenn on McD in the first period in the neutral zone? Ryan better keep his head up, they're looking to injure.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

McD cranks it up in the 3rd and makes all the diff.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Hagelin has had a decent game. Fast is playing like a typical rookie in his first playoff game. Richards is up to his usual "pass to nobody" antics.

The Brassard line and the 4th line have been our best lines tonight.

The only pass to nobody I saw was that crap pass at the end of his shift near the end of the period, there.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

3-2 after the 1st period in the CHI-STL game.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

This Bay Ridge Honda girl... She can sell me a car any day

 

[Fitzy]

He's skated with them all night. Frankly, I think playing with two quicker players has made him up his game.

When one of them produces a point at even strength I'll concede the point . It's been quite a while in between those.
