Hank had a strong game. Not his fault that this D is worse than ever before. Letting Duby stand alone infront of Hank on the first. Strålman lost the puck to Atkinson and he is like the fastest player on the CBJ. A shootout specialist. And what about the Third. Maybe a good idea to check Wiz. Maybe......
 
Glad they got the point. Disappointed they couldn't get the other.

Hank made some big saves and he failed to make some big saves, too. He wasn't bad but he wasn't Hank.

Cally had a good game.

Kreider obviously looked incredible while he was playing. Just wow.
 
It's unfathomable how anybody can defend Hank this season. Of course he makes great saves, everyone does. He's been average AT BEST, it's not like this is the first season he's had an offensively inept team in front of him. First it was the hip thing to bash him, now it's the hip thing to defend him. He's been terrible and Cam Talbot has been awesome, I'm not sure how this is debatable in any way.
 
People complaining about Hank? Really? I question whether some of you know anything out hockey at all. That game doesn't get it overtime let along a shoot out if Hank isn't superb in the third period.

You want to complain about the shoutout? Okay we'll Hank got best on two slick moves that best most goalies. Zuc shoots directly into Bobs glove and Nash gets stopped. That's why the shoot out sucks.

On another topic this is a game where I'd like to see the refs be held accountable after the game. That Kreider call is absolutely atrocious. Then the Stepan penalty was absolutely brutal.
 
Man this is a team I could root for, showed heart tonight! You could see it in the third they wanted it!
 
they played us on the SO. The sharp shooters all shoot just under the glove on Lundqvist. Kovalchuk did it with precision in the SO a few times, and Henrik compensated a little on the second one but they played to that as well with the backhand deke. Our guys need to learn how to approach the SO differently. Zucc slowing to a crawl every single time isn't going to work once goalies stop reacting.
 
Well he was great in the 3rd and OT. The second period not so much

Wow, our expectations must be really low for Hank if you think he was great. He made one nice save and the rest were saves he is expected to make.
 
Stupid mistakes lead to Columbus' goals which is frustrating when the Rangers dominated most of the game and fell behind 3-1 because they couldn't finish early on.

Lundqvist was good except that third goal pisses me off because it shows he's still not comfortable with his positioning. Needed to come out further.

Not gonna get on him for the shootout...sometimes you stop 'em sometimes you don't and when your first two shooters can't score then it's pinning a lot on the goalie. Columbus' players just made better moves.

Rangers certainly are frustrating...so many good things about this game and a few bad things put them behind the 8-ball and force them to have to come back. Then after they come back they kind of seemed like they were satisfied and played for the tie instead of going for another goal. Still very much feel like a team trying to find their way with very fragile confidence and ego.
 
Lundqvist was OKAY tonight... not good enough for his contract. Do we play Talbot next game or what?

No enough with this talbot ****, you put hank in there 4 out of 5 guys from now on and let him deal with the pains instead of letting our newly paid goalie sit on the bench and collect.
 
Somr of you guys are like spoiled little kids who don't appreciate what you have. Hank has given his all for years and carried this pathetic excuse of a team for countless of years. And the first time in his career when he's actually struggling a lot of you turn your backs to him, absolutely disgusting.

I hope all of you feel bad when he eventually gets his confidence back and start dominating again.

A lot of you will probably kiss his ass next season.


Disgusting behaviour... support him him instead of ******** on him for once. I'm out, peace!
 
Lundqvist started to give me hope in the 3rd but then ***** the bed in the shootout. Backs into his net on the first one and on the second waits too long to poke check...just bad.

You can judge him by the stat sheet but there were way too many times where Henrik looked lost and unsure. Looking behind him on pucks he saved! Its bad. He isnt confident. He stops a slapshot on Atkinson but he couldnt catch it, only knock it down. That is not him. Anisimov wrap around in OT he wasnt sure on either. You can count the saves but they were certainly stressful ones that made you feel uncomfortable.
 
Cam has to start next game..

Zuke and Hags were piss poor..poo too..

Nash was good...

That's about it..

Good night..
 
Nice of the Rangers to show some resiliency and come back from behind to grab a point. But, after a dominant showing in Toronto, the same issues with defense and inability to finish reared its ugly head again. There's not much that can be done about the players shooting wide all the time, they aren't that talented offensively, but they are absolutely capable of playing better defensively. Enough of the man defense already.

I'm glad that Nash finally showed up against his former team, but I have a sinking suspicion he may disappear again after Team Canada's roster is announced tomorrow. Lundqvist made some key saves in the 3rd but he is struggling on breakaways and odd man rushes more than he has in years past. Dubinsky was a beast tonight and he still hasn't been adequately replaced, hopefully Miller becomes that type of player but that's probably a ways off.
 
BTW the ref deserve some criticism. I think they win this game with Kreider playing.
