GDT: New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins |Game 1| 5/2/14

[Un Prophete]

So there is no inside info on how much McD is actually hurting?

 

[trilobyte]

Girardi has been the worst player for the Rangers this game imo. Zuc, also has not had a good game.

I did find his assists on both goals to be somewhat useful, though.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Seriously. I don't know what's worse, the ref blaming or the Lundqvist blaming.

Winnable game. If they lose it, it's on the Rangers and no one else.

I agree. Anyone blaming the refs in any way shape or form is just whining like a petulant child. The officiating has been fine in this game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I assume that Nash is now an automatic worst player of the game, so he's not in consideration, right?

Exactly thank you for common sense.

 

[haohmaru]

Thank god. Terrible non call on Nash interference. Works both ways

Except one was at center ice and one lead directly to a goal that should have never been.

Not comparable. Sorry.

He's probably lying to the training staff to be able to play...

 

[Fataldogg]

We need a goal from Mr. 1 in 20.

 

[Hire Sather]

They let the game get away but they can still steal it.

Basically feels like every time we lost Game 1 (or 2) in OT @ WSH.

 

[nevesis]

MRI's don't lie.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

McDonagh is having just a terrible postseason. Terrible.

He's a liability. Why go for that hip check?

Did Burrows injure his brain too?

Staal is our best dman. By far.

Lundqvist has been outstanding. Best game of the postseason. If they win tonight it definitely constitutes him stealing one.

That's what I'm saying. His decision making has been awful. He was great in the postseason the past 2 years, but this year something happened. My best guess is that he's not used to missing games and those missed games through something off and he's having a hard time recovering.

 

[yrrebbor]

Couldn't they just score one more damn goal? I have places to be already!

 

[trilobyte]

I agree. Anyone blaming the refs in any way shape or form is just whining like a petulant child. The officiating has been fine in this game.

Overall, I would agree. The non-call on the very clear slash breaking Stralman's stick was simply barfable.

 

[AHB*]

I agree. Anyone blaming the refs in any way shape or form is just whining like a petulant child. The officiating has been fine in this game.

If anything, it's favored us.

 

[NYRKING30]

Except one was at center ice and one lead directly to a goal that should have never been.

Not comparable. Sorry.

So what about the Richards goal. Maata was clearly onside. Next play leads to a goal.

 

[Fataldogg]

So there is no inside info on how much McD is actually hurting?

It's his brain that must be hurting. He makes multiple brain dead plays every game.

 

[haohmaru]

And, I'm not even blaming the refs or whining or whatever. I think a system should be in place to challenge a goal like that or a call. One per game. Officiating in the NHL Is maddeningly inconsistent from game to game as to what's a call and what isn't. That's what drives me nuts.

 

[NCRanger]

I agree. Anyone blaming the refs in any way shape or form is just whining like a petulant child. The officiating has been fine in this game.

Outside of a bull**** call on St. Louis that changed the momentum of the game and an obvious goalie interference, I guess I'd agree with you.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Don't feel like this will be a win.

Couple of players MIA. Nash, St.Louis

The PP lost them this game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Thank god. Terrible non call on Nash interference. Works both ways

Interference on the goal line and interference at the blue line are not the same thing.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Anyone recall Hanks last minute stops on Finland in the 2006 Olympic final? On Sundin, I believe. Insane post to post strech, low right side blocker stop on a one time,.

If he could get into that kind of a zone again ...

 

[nevesis]

Bottom line..

If we win this game, we STOLE it.

If we lose this game, no one to blame but the power play being completely ineffective yet again.

 

[NYRKING30]

MSL might be worse then Nash in this one if that's possible?

 

[haohmaru]

So what about the Richards goal. Maata was clearly onside. Next play leads to a goal.

Again, not directly. Agree that was a **** call, though.

 

[17futurecap]

Feel like this will be real quick, less then 5 minutes, hopefully it goes the Rangers way.
