[*Bob Richards*]

Sather is just going to throw infinite money at Stastny.

 

[GraveyTrain9]

**** off with the booing. if you can't support them at their worst, you don't deserve them at their best

unfortunately this IS our best, 2nd round playoff exit... forever mediocre

Observations:

NYR - where goal scorers go to die. Nash. Gaborik. St. Louis. and on and on and on. Doesn't matter who the coach is, what the system is, or who the players are. They can't score anymore. They can, however, score again if they move on (a la Gaborik). I don't understand it.

I like jumping on this ship but Gabby scored 40 goals for us. He had the rough half season with Torts and injury but before that he was pretty good.

Stepan - so, SO many stupid passes. He doesn't want the puck and is playing hot potato with it and constantly missing. Awful, awful playoffs for this guy.

Passing - the Rangers were the better team tonight but SO many missed passes. All night long.

Mistakes - 3 breakaways in a playoff game? Seriously? Terrible.

NBC can kiss my ass with constantly shoving Crosby down my face. He really wasn't a dominant player tonight. Not at all.

So frustrated with this team. If the CBJ's are scoring more goals against Pittsburgh than the NYR are, then something is seriously wrong.

We do not have a legitimate #1 center and our D can't make a pass to save their lives, let alone scoring a goal. So our only true threats are our wingers which the defense suffocates to hell and back.

 

[Florida Ranger]

Gaborik had multiple 40 goal seasons here, did he not?

You kidding me? He didn't score 100 points.

 

[Inferno]

last 2 games have been HORRIFIC for Nash, Richards, and MSL. just so....SO bad.

Nash in particular.

Ive defended him out the wazoo but the last 2 games have been just putrid.

Gabby had 114 goals in 255 games for us. Two 40+ goal seasons in 4 years.

 

[Vidic15*]

Now everyone misses Gaborik? You guys what on him for 4 years and now you want him back? This fan base doesn't deserve Gaborik.

I'm wondering why the hell Columbus traded him? They could have used a pure goal scorer against the Pens.

Sather is just going to throw infinite money at Stastny.

As long as he's making calls to inquire about Ovechkin.

 

[haohmaru]

Gaborik had multiple 40 goal seasons here, did he not?

PLAYOFFS

6 goals in 25 games.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

St. Louis is 38 and actually has 2 goals. Nash...

Did I ask his age? We're all aware of it. Woo. He has 2 in 9 games. My point was our two "stars" combined have 2. Gaborik has 3 in the last 7 minutes and 6 total. He was a Ranger pretty recently. We moved him for Brassard, Dorsett and Moore. Studs, all.

 

[KingWantsCup]

The worst part is you know they're gonna look just as dead and tired for the rest of this series.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Gaborik's finished! He's a washed up never was! Oh, and did I mention he is soft as baby ****!

 

[Machinehead]

Sather is just going to throw infinite money at Stastny.

Another pass-first player that has never scored 30 goals. Can't wait to see how that improves our powerplay.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Get the **** off of my hockey team, Rick Nash.

 

[Water1]

If not for the ot goal, it has been 160+ minuets of no goals
Gabrick has more goals than Nash
Stephan should not hit the ice again, should watch from the press box
Just ranting
Though I am sure fatigue had something to do with it, not scoring on the pp for 33 straight times is disgraceful

 

[aufheben]

But Fleury's so bad, right? He'll blow it, right?

 

[haohmaru]

Gabby had 114 goals in 255 games for us. Two 40+ goal seasons in 4 years.

Again, talking playoffs.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

The issues with this team start and end with center ice. Way too one dimensional, way too inconsistent. It's really hard for wingers to carry lines/teams in the NHL.

 

[Clausewitz]

Maybe a partial rebuild is in order. Consider the Nash trade a sunk cost; buy out Richards. Build around McD, Staal, Girardi, Kreider, Zuke and Hank. I'd keep Miller and Fast -- they're young and cheap -- but they aren't core material; Boyle might be worth keeping as well (for the PK). I wouldn't mind trading Stepan for picks. I'm on the fence about MSL.

 

[Tackaberry]

fast forward is great
you don't have to waste time watching this team
after the first goal the DVR was on 2x and I could get on with watching Kings/Ducks

Still people on this board wanted him out of town. Karma

 

[Samuel Culper III]

PLAYOFFS

6 goals in 25 games.

At least it's 5 more than Nash in the same time frame.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

I'm out of Nash Defense Society.

He can GTFO with his ninetyteen shots on goal.

Put one in the back of the net you stat padding douchenozzle...

 

[nevesis]

He's there every night

I freely boo when I spend my hard earned money and see a half-assed effort.
