Post-Game Talk: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers |Game 3| 5/5/2014

[Florida Ranger]

Technically he is. He's played EVERY minute of all 33 PPs and he has no points!! Trade him. Buy him out!

Freaking floater

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

He is the best REGULAR SEASON goalie in this franchise's history. I'll never forget those magical post season runs Mike Richter gave us. Lundqvist? He can't even string together 2 good playoff games in a row, let alone win a cup.

Let me ask you a question...what has Lundqvist done for us? A bunch of 2nd round exits? I think we could have done that with a mediocre goaltender, don't you?

He gets paid BIG BUCKS to win games like tonight and he failed...AGAIN. Forgive me for not being in awe of him the way you are.

So basically what you are saying is that Ritcher who in his time in the playoffs
89-90- Lost in the Second Round
90-91- Lost in the First Round
91-92- Lost in the Second Round
92-93..... whoops
93-94- Cup
94-95 Lost in the second Round
95-96 Lost in the second round
96-97 Lost in the third round

Total: 76 Games and a 41-33 record

seems like he got bounced in the second round a lot too.

I'm officially a Hawks fan. I can't imagine how nice it must be to have management that can add guys like Sharp and Hossa to a core like Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook and then keep drafting guys like Saad.

I'm right there with ya bud!

 

[Florida Ranger]

Series isn't over... Still got a game at home and that's certainly winnable. Can't jump onto other bandwagons yet, c'mon. Every game is a new game. Hopefully it takes one goal to set this team off.

 

[NCRanger]

Anyone know what events are happening at the Pens arena? It's pretty established MSG does't have a whole lot going on this month.

Lady Gaga on the 8th and Chelsea Handler on the 10th.

Nothing that absolutely forced a back to back.

Supposedly the reason the game yesterday was a night game rather than in the afternoon was the Pittsburgh Marathon.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Yes, plus the PP would certainly be better.

HAHAHA his 24 points in the post season would disagree

Now thats what you have to say...LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bl02]

Anybody just see the clip MSG just had of Kreider shooting the puck? If his hand was fully healed his legs and hitting would def give the rest of this series a little different feel.

 

[Cobra Jack*]

Thank you.

I'm not sold on Lundqvist being the Ranger goalie to lift the Cup, and in some ways, a point could be made that Lundqvist's money might be better spent on a forward, but some of the Richter revisionist history is revolting.

What revision? Winning a cup?

The 1997 Rangers were garbage and Richter carried them to the ECF that year. In 1994 he went the distance and won the cup for us. Lundqvist has ONE ecf under his belt that he BARELY achived by the team winning 2 game 7 series in 2012.

I don't see a comparsion between him and Richter in the playoffs. Richter will always be regarded higher than Lundqvist, that's a fact.

It doesn't matter.. did you see the cup run? He was unconscious... he has a cup hank doesn't.. hank isn't the better goalie

HE went the distance or did the TEAM?

Oh, and it's funny the 97 team was garbage to support your argument. But what about the Rangers teams from 05 to now? Garbage? Cup Contenders?

So you want us to omit players like Zubov, Leetch, Gtretzky, Messier, Kovalev, Graves just so you can make a point of some sort?

Hank carried a team that could barely score 2 goals a game to game 6 of the ECF.

Meanwhile Richter had an all-time great cast of characters in front of him.

Start showing it on the ice, Hank. That Crosby goal was junk tonight. He has no angle and you let him beat you 5 hole (the only place he had to shoot). Then you came up small on the JOKE-inin breakaway and failed to keep us in the game. Bad game, dude.

 

[Blueshirt Special]

We are behind in a playoff series. Whoa, end of the world. Lol

We played well, had our chances. The puck will go in. Maf will cave.

Onward.

Winning the Cup is easy?

Yea,.......yea

You are aware the team hasn't scored a goal in 120 minutes?

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

It doesn't matter.. did you see the cup run? He was unconscious... he has a cup hank doesn't.. hank isn't the better goalie

Corey Crawford has a cup so does MAF

 

[Florida Ranger]

Corey Crawford has a cup so does MAF

Khabibulin, Niemi, Ward.

They're so much better than Lundqvist.

You're a real hoot. The absurdity of your argument is something to behold, though I would rather not have to.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Khabibulin, Niemi, Ward.

They're so much better than Lundqvist.

I think Carolina is looking to get rid of Ward too

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

He can't talk like that... he aint scoring on the PP

...well let Lundy go out on the PP when we get one...put Talbot in net until PP is over...

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Crawford is the most underrated goalie in the league the guy is good...and both of them just got on another level a level hank hasn't been at

 

[17futurecap]

Diaz looked good tonight, he better stay in.

 

[nyrleetch]

So the Rangers haven't scored in 2 games, have had maybe 4 quality chances yet it's lundqvists fault for not stopping breakaways according to some of you. Yet Richter keeps on being brought up, like he would have made a difference. Lundqvist has yet to play on a team close to that 94 team.
