Post-Game Talk: Penguin III

[bbny]

Nemeth's CF%rel was -6.66

Fitting

Obviously the worst player on ice, and that's pretty much every game. Schneider close behind. That pairing is the worst pairing we've had in quite some time. It was evident for some time in the regular season, but Schneider has typically gotten a pass because he's just a kid who has flashed a pretty good ceiling and makes an occasionally nice play. Nemeth never does anything to offset the pure pain he inflicts on this team.

Avs fans apologized after we signed Nemeth. Now we know why.

 

[bl02]

I shit on AG just as much as anyone on here (and deservedly so) but watch the final goal and Nemeth and Mika were just embarrassing.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Copp and Vatrano have been amazing but bringing in just Braun on D was not enough. These are the NHL playoffs, you have to assume you are going to lose a top six D or two along the way.

Schneider isn't ready. It's really not even fair to him that he's being put in in this situation.

Brutal loss. PP really **** the bed. Mika has been a complete non-factor.

Crosby in the third period was insane.

I don't even know what to think about the move to put in Georgiev. I can see it going both ways. But that goal he gave up was painful and I don't believe Igor gives that up in that situation.

 

[mas0764]

I never liked the idea that single-game results which are half notch above throwing a dart are what "matters" and how the game was played doesn't.

If we continue to play like that, we will win this series.

Igor won't give up four every game.

Igor won’t continue to give up 4 but we probably won’t continue to score 4 either.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Honestly as rage Incuding as that game was. I’m glad we lost that game. We do NOT deserve to advance if we cannot take advantage of a third string goalie. The team cannot make any passes, their getting beat with the forecheck, Mika was 5/20 with faceoffs and has been putrid, Kreider has rocks inside his skull, Nemeth…. No comment, I can go on and on why. Galant is getting destroyed by Sullivan.

Zero leadership on this team, coaching has been abysmal.

Thank god I work Monday night.

f*** this team and their fake effort

Dude they came back from a 3 goal deficit to tie the game. They had effort. They didn't get the goaltending when they needed it.

 

[NikC]

Right. We’re scoring plenty. We aren’t getting enough goaltending. Shesterkin played a great third period in the win but otherwise he hasn’t given us an advantage at all. I mean not at all. He has to steal game 4.

Why do we need goalies to "steal" games in order to win? that's a losing formula isn't it? haven't we seen from years of stellar play by Henrik, that the team in FRONT matters?

They suck defensively. Nemeth, Braun, and Shnieder? Lol? gimme a break.

All this franchise does is draft defenseman.. .and we have Braun and Nemeth.

Strome sucks he's constantly missing open nets, and shooting wide. Zibinajad is killing them.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Igor is going to respond with a shutout Monday night.

 

[Kocur26]

Kreider has two goals in the series and the only game winner.

And ?

Now do one for posters

 

[haveandare]

Painful loss but they’re not likely to get goaltending that bad again. Series isn’t over by a long shot. Get some air folks.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Nemeth lost us the game. Arguably the worst performance by any Rangers defenseman I have ever witnessed.

Shesty scoring on himself doesn't help.

Vets let us down. Zibs dogshit. Strome a whole lot of nothing. Our top6 centers have been average to bad. That's now a good recipe for wins. Powerplay is struggling because of them.

I know you’re in the moment, but you’re old enough to remember Giraidi in the SCF’s and Sandis Ozolinsh.

 

[RangerLifer]

He sucked tonight but the guy is about win the vezina. Relax about Shesterkin.

Vezina doesn't mean much. No one remembers that. It's the Cup that matters.

 

[Crease]

Lundqvist had some playoff clunkers but seemed to always shut the door when it mattered. Igor has a chance to salvage this series but it has to start in G4.

 

[mike14]

Get Jones in for game 4.
Ket's at least start getting some expereince into the kid, and it's not like Nemeth is providing any value

 

[bl02]

Copp and Vatrano have been amazing but bringing in just Braun on D was not enough. These are the NHL playoffs, you have to assume you are going to lose a top six D or two along the way.

Brutal loss. PP really **** the bed. Mika has been a complete non-factor.

Well I am glad we didn't sell the farm for Chiarot. Not sure who else at LD we could have got? Lauzon? Probably Giordano is better but probably just wanted to go to toronto

 

[Machinehead]

Igor won’t continue to give up 4 but we probably won’t continue to score 4 either.

Our offense has been very good in this series.

It's mostly the 4th line and the 3rd pair sinking us.

Lots of people said it, and they were told it was no big deal.

Part of it is injuries but part of it is the Rangers continuing to jerk off to terrible players like they've done my whole life.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Dude they came back from a 3 goal deficit to tie the game. They had effort. They didn't get the goaltending when they needed it.

Dude the puck was in the rangers zone 99% of the 3rd period. They couldn’t even last 15 seconds with the goalie pulled. They should be steamrolling this team and their f***ing goalie. Stop. The penguins are nooooo where as good as the Rangers.

 

[TriFF51]

We just have to run Domingue and dig deeper into there farm system. Someone has to suck.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Lundqvist had some playoff clunkers but seemed to always shut the door when it mattered. Igor has a chance to salvage this series but it has to start in G4.

If we screw the pooch on Monday, this series is pretty much over.

 

[I Eat Crow]

They could still win this series and they could have won every game. They aren't getting by Carolina anyway.

This. This just isn't the year for a deep run. This is Carolina's last chance in a while to win it all, IMO. They're going to lose a lot of their depth this summer. The East is theirs to lose especially if Washington can upset Florida.

 

[LoveGoons]

1st our defense has been shit burger all series.. only Miller and Fox are plying well
2nd Shesty shit the bed..Gorgy stop 20 shots. Bad luck on that goal against him.
3rd our so call stud, can light a third string goalie.. pathetic
4th still no real team defense always scrambling because dumb passes and not clearing the d zone..
5th no snarl or team toughness..
6th kid line played better than our top line..

 

[bl02]

Jone's isn't playing. Even if he grew 3 inches overnight.
Hope for Lindgren to get healthy just bench Nemeth

 

[NikC]

I mean... to be down 1 goal w 8 mins left after being down 4-1 (Shesty putting one between his own legs) and then Geo giving up that ridiculous goal while tied... is... ummmmm something. I guess.

Showed some heart.

I mean we haven't even played decent hockey in this series yet. Maybe we will one game.

they weren't good in game 2?

 

[DialUp]

I know you’re in the moment, but you’re old enough to remember Giraidi in the SCF’s and Sandis Ozolinsh.

Dave Karpa was probably out worst overall of all time. Or maybe purington

We can second guess this until the cows come home and we probably will around here. But this game was over as soon as AG came in. That backbreaking goal was inevitable. We all knew it.

I’m not convinced the comeback was because the team was sparked by the move. They were right in that first period the whole way. 3/4 of those goals were just absurd, ridiculously lucky bounces.

I think GG was giving up on the game and resting Shesty who has seen way too many shots this week. Hopefully that rest has an impact and he’s able to shut them down moving forward.
