I thought the penalty call on Zucc was soft. I don't consider it very legitimate.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The only thing that's keeping me sane this game is that it's game 1 and not a must win, but ugh, so frustrating.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

LOL at all the mocking of Hagelin's intelligence. I find it absurd.

No one's actually calling him a moron or anything, just in terms of his decision making on the ice.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I guess that one shifts counts for the entire game.

MSL has been sloppy with the puck, though.

Well, according to him Boyle sucks and MSL is holding Richards back this game.

Is there another Rangers team playing somewhere or something?

 

[nevesis]

All of that is fine. But he can't just let the puck flop into the slot right to a Flyer.

Thats why we have 5 other guys on the ice, to bail out the goalie in situations like that. Thankfully they did.

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

Ok start of the 3rd...blah blah blah....lets net one and be done with it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I find it absurd that you would think his hockey IQ doesn't deserve to be mocked.

 

[Pizza]

Just got in my front door from work, but it's looking like the predictions of Emery's career being over were perhaps a bit premature?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Thats why we have 5 other guys on the ice, to bail out the goalie in situations like that. Thankfully they did.

Yeah, but they didn't really bail him out. It lead to the Flyers maintaining possession in the last 10 seconds and getting some good chances.

 

[nevesis]

Bury some ****ing shots here boys, cmon!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I agree with you on the first. I think MSL has been fine and the other two not so much. Although Stepan has been far better than Nash. Nash has really had a bad game.

No, Step is worse. Step is slow getting to the middle of ice; not supporting the puck quickly enough. He is doing a terrible job working with MSL.

The Flyers are moving the play to the outside which should allow Step more ice up the middle in the Ozone. He isn't taking advantage of it at all.

The only thing Step is offering that line is some decent defensive coverage.

Sometimes it really seems like some of the posters here are watching an entirely different game.

 

[mrhockey193195]

I don't know about you guys, I think Hagelin has been one of our best players. He's playing like the Hagelin of old, been great on the forecheck and the cycle.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What the ****ing hell is wrong with McDonagh this game?

 

[NYSportsfan87]

oh boy...

 

[Trxjw]

I thought the penalty call on Zucc was soft. I don't consider it very legitimate.

I thought it was in line with what the refs have been calling tonight. Same thing happened with the first penalty of the game. Give the players one or two shots at each other, but the third one sends you to the box.

 

[trilobyte]

Emery has been good. His potential to have a bad game is high, IMO. I've seen him play dreadfully. He will yet, it not this game, in another.

 

[Raspewtin]

Come on McD.

 

[DoTheBlue]

PK ...... yipes

 

[Wolfy*]

Am I the only one ok with Zucc's penalty? It was that last shot while the player was down that got him the 2mins, everything leading up to it - yeah give it back to the Flyers.

Zucc retaliated and dropped someone, and got 2 mins for roughing. He needs to quit that stuff.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I thought a follow through wasn't a penalty.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Lame penalty.

 

[Raspewtin]

Oh man is McDonagh having a bad game.

 

[Fataldogg]

Wow, sit McDonagh. Brutal game. If they score here, let him sit a few shifts and let it sink in.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

McD...not a good first game back.
