Watch the intermission report right now and stop *****ing about Lundqvist because they've made it clear that BOTH goals weren't his fault. First was on McDonagh, second should've been goalie interference.

Won't happen. For the Lundqvist can't do anything wrong crowd there's just as many Lundqvist can't do anything right crowd. It's one extreme or another on these boards. Just have to ignore it the best you can.
 
This pp really needs some fixing.
I wouldn't mind a replacement for Arniel although its probably just a lack of chemistry.
 
This team always plays the stars in the POs when injured. I don't know what it is, it just is. Maybe money is a factor. Less people watching when the stars don't play ... **** it.

And now stop bashing Hank! Without him this team would be ****ed even more. Unfortunately the only time I saw Hank make that ubersave you all are longing for was in the Torino 2006 Olympics.
 
It is amazing that guys end up in the box when they are shoved into the goalie by a defenseman, yet they are allowed to skate to the goalie and push him with their stick when nobody is around and it is not called.

Actually, Pittsburgh looked really bad in the 1st. Complete period reversal, really.

So they were deflated on the 1st goal against the Rangers because Henrik has let in 0 goals in the game at that point but the players do not have confidence in him to make the saves when it's important...? Ok.
 
Why the bloody hell won't they shoot the puck from the point on PP???????
OMG.

Jesus Christ. Girardi and John Moore controlling the ****ing power play? Jesus ****ing Christ. Is Arniel mentally ****ing challenged? John Moore on the point and Girardi takes it down low? ****ing Diaz from the press box is more useful down low than Girardi.

Power play is a joke. Arniel is a joke. Arniel needs to wake up and stop over coaching this power play and get his ego in check.

I'm just sick of John Moore when we have someone like Diaz. I don't hate G on the powerplay but he needs to have someone creative next to him. Diaz should be playing.
 
None of the goals are because of McDonagh being outmuscled or something. I fail to see how it was his shoulder. He's just stunk.

It boggles my mind that Girardi continues to get PP time when it is clear he is ****ing terrible on the PP. Yes, once in a while he'll actually hammer in a goal from the blue line, but he so unskilled it is not even funny. G is ****ing brickwall defensively but his offensive game is atrocious and yet he gets PP time.

Need an elite offensive Dman. A player like Shattenkirk, Subban etc would make this team so much better. Richards as quarterback on the pp is a failure.

I would drive half this team to the airport for Shattenkirk. Either way, when he got here he wouldn't have any scoring ability so it wouldn't really matter.

Any one who wants to ***** about the refs, if we had a good powerplay this would be a non issue right now.

Doesn't matter if we had the best or worst PP in the history of hockey. Thats not a goal. Ref is watching Malkin clearly interfere with Lundqvist's stick and he calls nothing. Thats completely on the referee. That **** needs to be cleaned up by the league. The refs need to improve or coaches need to be allowed challenges. Can't keep relying solely on the refs in situations like that when their mistakes are deciding games.

Moore should have never gotten back into the lineup. Diaz is better then him in every facet of the game outside of toughness.
 
I'm really tired of the delayed skate backwards with the puck to set up a rush into the zone on the pp. it's so deliberate and time wasting, just get the puck and go, make a play.
 
What teh heck happened to the PP. teh first 2 games in the flyers series it was fine then they amde adjustments and it has never been the same. it has obviously carried over to thsi series.
 
Gotta score first. Need MAF to be himself.

This was my fear though. We've made it SO EASY for him.
 
best thing to have happen in that period? It ended.

Now we reset. Team that wins this period, win this game.

Start fast, smart and be mindful with the puck.
