Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Boston

[NickyMaz]

We won but I don't feel great about it. Gave up a 3 goal lead, two of them in less than a minute, power play still abysmal, failed to capitalize on the 5 -3.

Hank did a tremendous job, great game by Hagelin and Stepan, I loved the shootout goal by Nash!

 

[LeetchisGod]

Least satisfying win that I've seen in awhile. The Rangers really need to scrap this shell strategy in the defensive zone. It's not working. Richards looks finished.

 

[haveandare]

Hagelin, McD, Hank.

McD is such a beast. The list of players I'd trade him for is very, very short.

Hank had an awful 3rd imo. but was amazing the first two periods.

One goal where you could probably pin it on him. Again..1.

 

[Fitzy]

This doesn't even feel like a victory.

Fortunately, the standings are not dictated by people's feelings.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

with the exception of 5 minutes... Rangers played a great game.

 

[aemoreira1981]

Definitely not Richards...he gets the Redden.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Nash
Hagelin
Cally

Nash is so ****ing good it's not even funny. He really should have 10 goals by now. And dat shootout goal...

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

One goal where you could probably pin it on him. Again..1.

too many rebounds for me.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Man after seeing this post game interview with Rick Nash I like him more than ever. He's a solid player and person.

On a side note Brad Marchand looks like Nigel Thornberry.

 

[Fataldogg]

Lundqvist

Nash
Stepan

Rask for giving us two goals

Nash played a great game, but that one penalty I think really changed the momentum of the entire game. He redeemed himself by being a force on the ice, but next time around that's a penalty I hope he doesn't take.

Stralman continues to impress me (really liked his play in the post season last year).

And Lundqvist was fantastic. Tough third period with the bounces on the 2nd and 3rd goal, but he was strong in the shootout and got the W.

BIG BIG ISSUE... PP. STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!! It's a momentum changer. It's detrimental to us every game. I'm tired of seeing 1 minute plus 5-on-3's and not even generating a scoring chance. It's pathetic.

We have to call these post game threads party post game thread...no party pooping...LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...drinks on me...wooooo hoooooo

 

[nyrmessier011]

No, we dominated 2 and a half periods of hockey. The last 10 minutes was atrocious but the Rangers deserved that W. 3 winnable games coming up...let's go streaking!

that's insane analysis. totally opposite if you take away the goals (which were all pretty much non-momentum based)

 

[pld459666]

Nash, Girardi and Lundqvist.

Nash is showing game in and game out that he is a beast.

Girardi was nasty tonight. Played a very ornery game.

Lundqvist was Lundqvist. There's not going to be a win this season that he's not at least 3rd star for me.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Was a heartbreak of a game though. A great game for the most part, even after letting one in 3-1 still felt good. Felt like we had this. The last 2 minutes were excruciating.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

When are they gonna film Endings? The sequel to Richard's Beginnings?

Don't worry, I found that hilarious.

 

[Dagoon44]

guys were never in control tonight even 3-0 was Boston right in our face.. The second goal was HORRIBLE a 50 ft shot hits him dead in the chest and into the slot for a rebound goal. the shot needs to be controlled much better,.. Done with Hank bashing he played excellent and we won enough said

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

So what was better? Nash's assist or shoot out goal?

 

[BroadwayBlues]

The Bad
The Ugly
The Richards

 

[Panfork]

People are voting for Lundqvist here?

Was going to post this.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Now other teams know how to beat us...just start the game with your goalie pulled...

 

[Gardner McKay]

Hagelin, McD, Hank.

McD is such a beast. The list of players I'd trade him for is very, very short.

What was so sweet was listening to Pierre say how that trade will haunt the Canadiens for years to come.

 

[Black Aces]

with the exception of 5 minutes... Rangers played a great game.

No they didnt. They were pinned in their zone forever and Hank was making big saves.

Rangers outplayed the Bruins.

Bruins were lucky to even get a point from this.

Well, we did give a point to Boston, this isn't a regulation/ot win, and this is a shortened season.
