Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers vs Eakin Rousell and Garbutt

[nevesis]

Nash will stare into your soul now...

BTW, I'm sorry but despite the 2 goals against Lundqvist sucked today. 2 softies, I finally saw the first one well and it was terrible. There were like 2 posts from friggin Dallas. Otherwise the best chances missed the net for the Stars. Lundqvist didn't really make any great saves. For the most part this season he's been a liability.

The rest of the team was very good IMO. That first line of Dallas did nothing. The offense was pretty good too. PP as usual was good.

4. went to pick it up, employee said 'i got it' and did it for him

nah you're right. lazy bum.

That employee knows he's a lazy bum and allowed him to lazy bum it.

 

[Doctyl]

Kreider had a bad game. Hopefully he's not messed up after giving that hit.

 

[Machinehead]

lol @ putting Kreider twice. I don't think he had a good game. A few turnovers in the neutral zone that could have cost us.

I was saving Nash for last cause I figured he'd get alot of the votes. As I was coming to the last spot I saw the replay and Kreider had the puck. It was one of those things where you see something and it pops into your head.

 

[bmoak]

Good win. Dallas' big line was held down pretty well.

Carcillo was credited for 8 hits in 8 minutes of ice time.

 

[justanomade]

I love the way Zuke looked Henrik in the eye after the game. The King has to get som confidence now. We have to keep up this good run till early February. I want that top three spot, goddammit!

LGR!

4 words in my opinion. Mats Zucc-a-rello

I thought it was John Tort-o-rella

 

[Oak]

Rangers have a Top 10 power play. Let that sink in. The New York Rangers have the 6th best power play in the National Hockey League past the mid way point of the season. I don't even....

Mind = blown

Somebody delete the "does anyone regret the Torts firing now" thread asap plz.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

and no, I merely stating he missed the net on a number of opportunities. No further implications necessary. And as we can see from the last goal, he can pick corners just fine, even when getting knocked over. Also, forcing the goalie to make a save potentially leads to 2nd and 3rd chances. instead of the puck going back along the boards to the blue line.

If that were the case we would be seeing rebounds from boyle's horrible shots all the time, which is not the case. If you have a prime scoring chance you aren't shooting to try to get a rebound you're shooting for an opening in the net.

He looked ok in Chicago. I doubt it.

There are no words. You just have no clue what you're talking about.

Oh, this Zuke and his bromances!

 

[Machinehead]

I gave McDonagh a vote.

Benn was quiet, Mac was great with the puck tonight, and he started the whole sequence on the winner.

yeah, no, sorry it wasn't meant to be an attack I just thought it was fun.

Anyway, what was going on with Stepan tonight? Had a couple of beers prior to the game or what?

 

[TollefsenFan]

Carcillo deserves alot of cred in the last two games. He has been different.... A pain in the ass for the opposing team. I like him and we got him almost for free. Great signing. Him and Dorsett on the 4th line would be ****ing epic

Lol.

Do you want every goal that he allows to be a defensive breakdown where the goaltender has no chance?

Breakaway goal: WHAT A SOFTIE. He used to stop those. Decline
Unstoppable shot: TOO DEEP
Stoppable shot: AWFUL!

Is he suppose to save EVERY stoppable shot?

Stahp pls, Snowblond.

 

[Overcast]

They showed the video. It went off lehtonen and/or his stick.

It just barely deflected off his blocker, but I think it was still going wide anyway cuz his arm was stretched out iirc.

 

[profchaos2001]

not turning this into a pissing match, but this isn't a dichotomy of boyle's softies into the goalie's chest versus nash trying to hit corners while actually FORCING A SAVE FROM THE GOALIE.

 

[Machinehead]

yeah, no, sorry it wasn't meant to be an attack I just thought it was fun.

No I get what you're saying. It's funny that Kreider of all nights he's been great shows up twice tonight

I just feel like a damn fool, that's all

 

[Kokoschka]

so I see there still is someone bashing Hank... Good job, the world needs you.




No, seriously, get a clue, which of those goals should he have stopped and how. There's having high expectations of a player and then there's being ridiculous.

Noticed that. That's 3 more hits in one game than Nash has done the entire year.

 

[surGeon]

Why didn't AV play Zuke on the 4 on 3? Seems with his skating ability, patience with the puck and passing skill, that it would be right up his alley.

Great game.

1. Nash (that's a huge low percentage goal. Not many players score there)
2. Zuke
3. Callahan
