Well people have been speculating that since round one. Still, a -3 with no points and no noticeable chances is not cutting it, hurt or not.

couldn't be that opposing teams are starting to pay more attention to him could it.

Dubi was on the ice with Sid for no less than 70% of his shifts in all games.

Then you have McD plying against him here.

I'm not buying it.

It's a convenient excuse, but it's an excuse.
 
They also had Falk next to Brassard.

They have a stall set up for every player travelling/skating with the team.
Correct. I dont expect kreider unless this turns out to be a 6 or 7 game series. Hopefully the Rangers take care of busniess and kreider can return in the ECF when he is fully healed
 
I feel like Monday is a guaranteed loss. I 100% expect a clunker so I really think we have to take game 2. Game 2 should be treated like a game 7.

I felt going in that given the schedule, at worst the Rangers needed to be tied at 2-2 after game 4. So for me, either game 2 or game 4 is a must win now, and anything else is just gravy.
 
A near .950 save % and we were the better team? We were outplayed in the 2nd and 3rd by a fairly wide margin. Credit where credit is due, please.

Exactly, to the team that won the game. It is a team game after all.

If you took that as a slight against Hank I can't help you, it's not, it's more that he played excellent and the team played good for 2/3 of the game and the OT, you think they got outplayed in the third? It was pretty even.
 
Stralman needs to be resigned.
Hank had an awesome game.
Staal had an awesome game.

That gif of Fleury flopping around is hysterical.

Why is not winning the Cup used as an argument against Hank? People do realize it is a TEAM accomplishment right?

Significantly outplayed in the 2nd and somewhat outplayed in the 3rd. Sometimes you need your goalie to steal a game. This was one of those.

I would be worried 2-2. The longer it goes the worse it is for the Rangers. We need to end it in 5....which would be ideal. I don't want to look to far ahead, but if and that's a huge IF and we go 7 whoever we would play against would either wear us down with size or speed. It would be like the Devils series all over again.

No it wasn't but since you aren't going to change your view point I digress. He played an outstanding game, about a half dozen other people have mentioned they think you were wrong about the 3rd period. The team played great as a whole minus the 2nd.

Why do you you have such a problem with giving the whole team credit? Mister credit where credit is due.
 
Most franchises have been less successful than this one since 1990. Don't need condolences. The Leafs, Panthers, Jets, Isles, Canucks, Flyers, Blues, and on and on have had it worse. Some, a lot worse

We missed the playoffs 7 years in a row! all those other teams with the exoection of the Jets all made the playoffs multiple times. The Flyers made the SCF in that time time frame.
