GDT: New York at Boston Pt. II

[Thunderhead]

Waiting for the 7:30 game. This one is over.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Was the 4th goal Hanks fault? No, it was Girardi's.

Should he be elevating his game for the playoffs and stopping that one? Yes.

Well, he really just missed it. Pad was too high off the ice and the puck slid under it. Can't put much blame on him for that.

 

[cjc5103]

we're gonna need more help from the refs like that if we plan to win this game too.

 

[Holocene]

Thy should be serenating Girardi not Hank...

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Oh, man. How was Bartkowski not called for hooking on that goal? He spun Stepan completely around with his stick.

 

[Riverdale]

I hate Girardi

TRADE HIM already

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Your not gonna anticipate top corner. Plus it wasnt like the guy was rushed. he got the puck setup and picked a spot. So really its the opposite in this case. The shooter was the one following the keeper and knew he wasnt gonna be anywhere near top corner. Watch the replay and see how Lundy reacts even after the puck went in. Its almost like he is saying. "It went in?"

You actually proved my point. Bruin had the puck long enough for the flow of the skaters to shift towards him and for Henrik to at least get into position to block the net.

I'm not going to say he'd stop it 99% of the time if he was on his game. More like 60-70%...but he wasn't even set. If he was on his game, he would've been set. That's the difference.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Someone should take a run at Marchand already and take him out of this series.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I knew someone would say "I suppose that was Hank's fault too", so Girardi sucking absolves Hank of being a scrub today?

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

Thank You announcer for making my point. Our D men and even the Forwards are not picking up their men.

 

[Callagraves]

4-2 game?

Girardi -4.

I think he's done enough tonight.

 

[Hire Sather]

team completley dead now.

4th goal killed em

 

[SRTtoZ]

Blind backwards passes are always great.

Time to go play the Witcher 2.

 

[Kershaw]

Trade Girardi/Lundqvist sucks crowd lol.

 

[BB58]

I hate Girardi

TRADE HIM already

I hope it happens. His time is due just like what happened to Tyutin.

 

[OverTheCap]

Girardi definitely benefits from being paired with McDonagh and Staal. He gets exposed when he isn't paired with someone on their level.

 

[Glennsoe]

Boston's best chances tonight are when we're on PP and when Girardi is on the ice...

Damn it, get Asham to start shooting and wrecking havock soon..

 

[The Gloaming]

Please trade Girardi. Hopefully GM's overrate him and give up something decent.

 

[Drewbackatu*]

Anyone who says that it was Lundy's fault is an idiot. Get Girardi off the ice.

Yep; Girardi was clearly puck watching there instead of covering his man. Pathetic!

 

[BBKers]

By all means blame the goalie; it simply betrays an irrational attitude.

First goal screened but no doubt unhappy that he left the 5 hole so open.
Second goal reacting to a screened shot and at a disadvantage for the rebound which falls right to a wide open Bruin in the slot who gets it off the ice with one touch.
Third goal he is completely unable to see the shot because the defenceman and the forward have both crossed his path exactly as the puck is fired.

The worst thing about the folks blaming Hank here is that onall of the goals the actual problem is blatantly obvious. First goal Krug is wide open joining the play late; second goal Krug gets all the time he needs to get a good shooting angle and let the forwards get in the goalie's vision; third goal Callahan is too late in passing the puck carrier onto the Rangers D and he leaves his man (the goal scorer) as a wide open trailer. Torts' system is to collapse and this is what it invites. Torts and the skaters have thus far failed to adjust to the Bruins' consistent use of defencemen in attack.

Torts is the savior. Did you not know? Ask Kel & his apologetic followers....

4-2 game?

Girardi -4.

I think he's done enough tonight.

-3. Had the assist on 2-2.

 

[JohnC]

Not Girardi's fault. Hanks fault. Should have known the pas was coming from the side of the net, intercepted pass, skated it down ice and went top shelf on Rask.


God Hank sucks.

Lirl

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Trade Girardi/Lundqvist sucks crowd lol.

Who is saying Lundqvist sucks? Again, why is he immune from criticism to people like you?

 

[BB58]

Girardi definitely benefits from being paired with McDonagh and Staal. He gets exposed when he isn't paired with someone on their level.

You just read my mind. This is absolutely true.

 

[Kershaw]

I hope it happens. His time is due just like what happened to Tyutin.

Trading Tyutin was a travesty.
