Nash is playing pretty well, but if only he could score a goal. It's just so damn frustrating.

 

[AHB*]

You can say the rangers are tye better team all you want but there about to go 7 games with a team we all know is trash.

Yes, because every game ends after the first period.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I'm taking into account quality of chances, overall control of the puck, and goals across all PO's including last year. my argument isn't that he is doing nothing it is that what he has done is not enough

He's been involved in a number of chances. He just missed a goal towards the end of the period.

He's been fine so far this series. Could he be better? Sure. But he's certainly not deserving of all this scorn. The worst players, by far, have been Hagelin and Poo this series. Guys who are legitimately hurting the team with poor play.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Nash has never, ever been a big hitter.

I'm not saying he is. He'd finish a single check with a resounding thud doesn't mean he was a known hitter who laid the wood. But he'd let guys know he was there and it was noticeable.

 

[Carl Swaglin]

I'm so glad they don't go on Hf in-between periods, we would lose every game we were down because of the crazy post about the sky falling, and how everyone sucks.

 

[TriFF51]

Next goal is huge, im sick if 7 game series'. ****ing get it done guys....bench pouliot.

Those two stand out, I also think Klein has been ****.

Nash has been one of our best forwards.

Yeah but those guys are making 15% of Nash combined. It's not good enough for him to be just OK

I dunno but it seems like you just answered "it's not enough" by saying "it's not enough."

If you want to criticize them for legitimate reasons then do it. I'm hoping for more from Nash for legitimate reasons

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

We just have to keep going strong... Don't let the flyers get into our heads and pouliot don't take another penalty or I'd waive u right on the ice

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Nash would very, very rarely "finish a . . . check with a resounding thud." That's just not his game.

 

[Raspewtin]

Okay I'm frustrated after that period but this thread is just unbearable.

There's still 40 minutes.

 

[EEL]

Funny, I thought we were all over them! Just have to finish.
LGR!!!!

[Hunter Gathers]

I think he HAS been good enough but every single player could always be better. He's created a good amount of our offense.

well don't you know anyone with any sort of size in hockey should play like lindros or lucic.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Bill in twister. Love it.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

I KNOW Rick Nash has another gear. When he's playing it safe, and floating into the zone, he isn't effective.

Think about how he played in that Columbus game. He was FLYING out there, dominating everyone, hustling, hitting, FIGHTING (even though we don't want him king this)

Think about the last 30 seconds of the game when he was dominating that shift, looking completely different from the rest of the game.

Is it his fitness? Does he conserve his energy all game to save it for specific bursts when scoring opportunities present themselves?

He is a big dude, but he can be more effective and he HAS to be more effective.

This is why I was hoping the Blue Jackets would win if we go onto the 2nd round. Would have been no Crosby and Malkin, and Nash probably would have had the series of his life.

Incorrect watch his first year here

Dude, no one has ever overcome a 1-0 deficit after the first period. It's IMPOSSIBLE. Just turn off the game, turn on Netflix and prep for game 7 tomorrow.

 

[nevesis]

Everyone is just frustrated because we KNOW we are the better team. We need to put them away and get this done.

Lets bring it in the second period. They will make the necessary adjustments.

 

[DoTheBlue]

It's all about making the most of your opportunities. They did not do that last period.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I think he HAS been good enough but every single player could always be better. He's created a good amount of our offense.

That's fine it's your opinion.

 

[Crazed Beaver]

Stars and Wild in the West could be weaker. Detroit and Columbus could be weaker.

And it's all about match ups. So this isn't a very good statement.

Well, I disagree and if your going to critique a post you should provide something more than an opinion based on "could be".

Just gotta get pucks deep yknow
