Bourque on Lundqvist: "Everybody talks about how he’s a great goalie. Has he been than (Tokarski) this series? I don't think so."

Locker room wall stuff. These Canadien players are real *******s.

I'm going to eat an entire tub of ice cream thanks to them.

May I suggest B&J's coffee heathbar crunch?

I hope Hank sees that

 

[17futurecap]

He couldn't even stand up properly, maybe he'll wake up tomorrow and let the doctors know something's not right

You should have Dr. Gallagher examine him.

Honestly, he's right.

Lundqvist owned Tokarski game 2.

From then Tokarski's just been better.

Hope that's some serious motivation for Hank.

I will keep this simple.....the Montreal Canadiens and their fans can kiss my New York ass. Goodnight.

 

[ImIdaho]

this. Offense did what it needed to do. Defense not only went cold and left Talbot out to dry, but Hank left the defense out to dry as well. It's a team game, and 2 of the 3 require components for a solid team went cold tonight...

Guy, the offense was just as responsible for it being 4-1 as everyone else. 2 PPs to start the 2nd, 0 shots in the second, 3 goals by the Canadiens.

How the **** does one walk away thinking the offense is immune from blame?

 

[LORDE]

That was hard to watch.

Anyone who thinks the whole team didn't deserve it is kidding themselves. They thought it was over but last I checked u have to win 4 to advance.

Moore will be and def should be suspended. If not for the hit then for blatant stupidity.

 

[aufheben]

lol Dorsett

 

[poeman]

I was really upset after game 3...This game was such a mess that I want to get it over with and start the next one.

I want this team to be ready, this is the Stanley Cup on the line...Do they have the preparation to get it done?

 

[FOD]

2 bad games in a row for the team, I dont like this.

Didn't the rangers win game 4?

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Honestly, he's right.

Lundqvist owned Tokarski game 2.

From then Tokarski's just been better.

Hope that's some serious motivation for Hank.

Tokarski was **** tonight, the Rangers offense was even worse though. Bourque needs to shut up he scored 2 on Talbot.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

What!? This ****ing team cant show up!? I'm so done. Henrik has a chance to go to the Final and he plays the worst game of his life!? Really?

Can i get a break!?

 

[ltsthinaz]

Honestly, he's right.

Lundqvist owned Tokarski game 2.

It is correct Tokarski has been the difference this series, especially in Game 3, though I think the Rangers have a better read on him now.

But Lundqvist, when he bears down (see Game 7, Pitt) can be unbeatable. Hope the quote motivates him to do that for Game 6.

Agreed. I mean, maybe if one only looks at the box score.

Bad PP, not enough sustained pressure, and not enough shots when Tokarski was struggling. They were hell-bent on making the perfect pass when it wasn't necessary. Could have been a different game if they converted on the PP in the beginning of the 2nd period.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I hope Hank sees Bourque's comments.


It's not even so much the loss that bothers me as it is the sloppy, uninspired start, the poor goaltending and the dumb penalties.

Also the trying to be too fancy. How many times is someone going to have an A+ scoring chance and then pass it up to FORCE a pass through 6 players across the ice? Seriously? What a joke.

These boys better recharge and come out on home ice like it's game 7. No more playing around. This is two games in a row they looked like crap. This time Hank wasn't there to bail them out.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Safe to say this was not Rangers hockey tonight. Regroup for game 6.

 

[KingWantsCup]

This is the nastiest series of the playoffs thus far. Crazy. There was basically no hate between these teams before game 1.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

lol Dorsett

You look at that and laugh, I look at that and say that's bad ****ing karma and shows where the focus of some of our players was tonight. ******** and shenanigans - not winning.

What an idiot. There's no room for that on teams that are serious about winning a cup. No room.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

This game is what people will refer to if Hank never wins a cup. Chance to get to the SCF on the line and not only loses, but completely ***** the bed. Let's hope he has the game of his life on Thursday night.

Game 5 against the devils in 2012 is another one, when he gave up 3 goals on the first 4 shots, we tie it up and he gives up two more.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Tokarski sucks. It pays to be lucky rather than good.

Ridiculous rebounds, he constantly leaves the net wide open when he aggressively comes out of his own crease, and he's too small to be able to cover the top end of the net.

He'd be an average back up, amazing that they've been able to cover up his deficiencies for 4 games now.

That is bizarre. I was just thinking about that prior to the game, outside of game 1, I've seen zero jump in the 1st period.
The two prior series, it was a trend to get off to good starts. The only trend I've seen continue, is bad 2nd periods.

Bourque on Lundqvist: "Everybody talks about how he’s a great goalie. Has he been than (Tokarski) this series? I don't think so."

He's just putting more doubt in Hank's head. This was a great game for the Habs. They needed a win, and getting 7 goals on top of it just made it that much better for them. They are pretty much in "do or say whatever it takes to get them off their game" mode.

On the bright side, we are pretty good at ignoring **** and just playing our game. I think this was just a bad day, next game we'll be better.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

If you guys haven't figured it out: A common theme with the Rangers is when they are allowed to coast; they will. Thats been a consistent factor with NY for a while now. I don't have an answer to where it originates from.

I see it as, once they get ahead, they get giddy and lose their focus.

He seems to have these games where he just loses concentration for some reason. It's basically his only weakness.
