Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at Montreal Canadiens |Game 5| 5/27/14

[OverTheCap]

I thought it could't get much worse than Game 6 against Philly, but I was wrong. Brutal game in every facet. To have such a crap game when they are so close to the finals is concerning.

To make matters worse, the Rangers are getting goaded into Montreal's ******** and are taking some stupid penalties. They need to focus on playing their game and not lose their composure. Let's hope this game wasn't a turning point in the series.

Horrible game, just awful.

Been saying NYR in 6 all along though, so I am not surprised.
Finish this series at home Thursday!

LGR!

Thankfully, Diaz isn't the kind of step down from Moore a guy like Falk would be at this point in the season.

It's a lemon of a game, we lose with that performance against any other playoff team. Accept it and change it for next game.

I do think AV made a **** decision pulling the goalie early, I am not a fan of ruining your chances with 4 minutes left to play.

 

[NCRanger]

I am so angry he did not put back Henrik when it was one goal game.

Why?

So the guy who started this **** show could finish it?

Certainly not Talbot's fault this turned out the way it did.

Once again, the absurdity of the NHL is on display. Prust's hit was seen by the refs and called clean. Broken jaw, missed game by our #1 center. This game, they think about it and throw Moore out. Moore still has not thrown an elbow.

 

[Jabroni]

We need to play in Montreal's end, not ours. They were flying around us tonight. The early penalty threw off the entire start to the game. Tighten up in our own end. Hank will be better. I know we can beat this team.

 

[ImIdaho]

Did AV call a timeout?

I blame Patrick Roy

 

[KingStian]

Horrible ****ing game all over. It happens. Now we got to move on and come out in the Garden with a different attitude.

 

[trilobyte]

Moore will get 2 games for that, yes he will.

The team cannot play another game like this one, that's one good thing to look at.

Kreider had quite a night, and steps of course.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

If we lose game 6 i might kill myself.

 

[Machinehead]

Just a BS game that shouldn't have happened. Totally got off the rails.

It won't happen again. Game 6 will be a normal game and we will win it.

 

[varanger94]

Just sweeter to win it at home. Throw out the tape and come out flying.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

If the Rangers don't come out Thursday and dominate they deserve to lose the series. That is all the fuel they need to win the next one, no excuses just redeem yourselves.

 

[Holocene]

I could live with a loss. But a loss like this...

Better for the team than us. They will play much better on Thursday because of how embarrassing this was.

 

[Super Cake]

It was just one bad ****ing awful game where everything went wrong. Defense did not show up. Lundqvist did not show up. The only thing that showed up was the offense somewhat. This **** happens. Just come out strong on thursday and win the series.

 

[TheRedViper]

Not happy about the decision to pull Talbot when they did, but lots of other things went wrong that had a much bigger impact on the outcome of this game

 

[LORENZO]

Just wish I didn't have to wait until thursday.

 

[Andrew83]

This game could have gone either way but Montreal got some big breaks. You guys will win Game 6.

 

[hfman]

Habs will just not go away. If Rangers lose thursday - this is over. Gut instinct says Habs in 7. Hate so say it. Sometimes the impossible happens, and this is the year it'll probably happen. A Cinderella team going to the finals on a backup goalie... so unheard of. Won't matter though. The east is nowhere near the level of the west. But knowing Montreal's luck all spring, would anyone be surprised to see them knock off L.A. with a backup goalie? Is Montreal really this good or is this just the longest lucky streak in NHL history?

 

[Lime]

I like our chances in Game 6, lose that one and I don't know. Ranger fan forever but I just don't know about a game 7 in Montreal after being up 3-1

 

[highandwide]

I want the team angry. They all play better angry.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

This, well said. Better be a friggin wake up call. Must elevate their game. I hate calling anything but elimination games "must wins" but game 6 is in my book as a must win.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Better for the team than us. They will play much better on Thursday because of how embarrassing this was.

I seriously hope you're right. Not that I'm doubting them, but we've all seen 3-1 leads disappear. Just need to stay focused, and like you said, feel embarrassed and come out to close this thing.

 

[varanger94]

Class up their in Montreal. Throwing bottles and cans at the Rangers coming off the ice. Imagine if that was us.
