Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Bruins

[NCRanger]

Marc Staal sucks.

Should send him to Carolina, now, before Rutherford realizes he's not even worth a bag of pucks.

Lundqvist HAS to stop an unscreened shot from the point.

Emrick is becoming unlistenable. Either he's not getting replays in the booth, or he's too busy looking up meaningless stats to tell us what's actually happening on the ice.

 

[Holocene]

So sick of Callahan and his blind Pejorative Slured passes. You're not a finesse player, stop acting like it. Go out there hit someone and play a rough game. We have enough idiots who think they're talented but really aren't.

 

[ImIdaho]

Only 28 shots from the B's? I feel like they had WAY more than that.

Easy to misconstrue when the other team is doing God knows what.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Only 28 shots from the B's? I feel like they had WAY more than that.

Nope. Neither team was all that spectacular and the Rangers blocked a lot of shots. The Bruins definitely outplayed us, though.

 

[Loff]

Me watching this team. It's just physically payneful.

 

[Ragnarok14]

Absolutely dominated. Staal is obviously never going to be the player he was. he has been treading water all year and looks to be bottom pair at best and done at worst:/
He is not our biggest problem , but is clearly a detriment... Our offense is offensive!
How many shots did we have that last period? 3?
Lundqvist is seriously pissing me off at this point. Soft goals almost every game are killing this anemic team. Nash and McD are the only players that showed up.
Callahan, Girardi, Staal, Stepanakert were all terrible. This team is mediocre incarnate. Vancouver should win 7-1 , especially with Torts licking his chops to get at this robotic roster.

 

[Kakko]

Callahan is so overrated. Tired of this guy not getting any flak for not coming up big in the big moments and being a real leader. Never scores in the playoffs, never scores big goals or makes big plays when we need him and his hockey IQ offensively is just blah.

He's just been ****.

 

[The Gloaming]

Lol worst team in years... Your agenda is showing. Were we even in a playoff position at this point last year? No. Torts is gone, get over it.

Our division was a lot better last year. Our division being terrible is the only reason we are even close to a playoff spot right now. This is not a good team.

 

[rdhstlr23]

We just don't have enough offensive talent or goal scorers. We need 2 more...maybe 3. It's gotten so bad.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Look, Cally is not a bad captain. Its not that he doesn't work hard or doesn't show character. He works his butt off.

He is simply not very talented. He looks terrible playing with skill guys or having to make decisions with the puck. Its not his game. I would stick Cally with Boyle.

 

[RangersHank*]

This has been routine for him this season. He pads his stats with PP assists, and rarely makes an impact on the game.

This "1st line center" that everyone was sold on last year, is again showing why he is a border line 2nd line center, and Sather was absolutely right to force him into a bridge contract.

Looks like Stepan fooled all of us here. Lol, thats our great drafts!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I can't blame Hank for this one. He was under siege for pretty much the entire game. Rangers didn't deserve to win and they didn't.

I don't blame him entirely for the loss but God damn bet that I blame his ass for that 3rd goal.

 

[Machinehead]

Have a feeling one of them is named Brad

Stepan's performance this season directly correlates to the lack of goal scoring in my opinion. He is just not making an impact every game like he did last season.

 

[KasparsHipCheck]

hank just knows we suck and has a ton of pressure on his shoulders. maybe if we scored more often he wouldnt need to be perfect

Honestly, he's looked tired and depressed since the season has started. The Rangers play seems to be literally killing the poor guy.

 

[KingP]

I don't blame him entirely for the loss but God damn bet that I blame his ass for that 3rd goal.

if we dont score sure the other team will eventually score and take the lead. not the chara goal then it would be the next. we dont ****ing score

As I mentioned last game he is really hurting us by being really really horrible on faceoffs four years in a row now. Since neither Richards or Brassard are any good on them either whenever we are in a spot where we really need to win one it's like we need to put out Moore or Boyle solely for the faceoff.

 

[Kakko]

Game tomorrow. Game in Buffalo. Then the huge homestand.

Need to get hot, and string some wins together then.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

At the end of the day they just aren't talented enough to play the type of game they are trying to play, consistently.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Good: Nash scoring, McDonagh looking like his offense is developing, Hank for 48 minutes or so

Bad: Every player on the entire team after the first player. Nothing pisses me off more than complacency.

Pyatt: Pyatt, Callahan, Girardi, Lundqvist on the 3rd goal, and Julien's incessant whining.

In fact, Lundqvist's 3rd goal was so bad that I almost feel like it deserves it's own section of something lower than Pyatt. I didn't think that was possible, quite frankly.

The lack of scoring pisses me off. But I can tolerate it when the team plays hard. I can't tolerate it when the team just decides the game is over and ****ing sleepwalks through the last two periods. They played 20 minutes of hockey today and 40 minutes of ********. I guess Hank decided that he just didn't care anymore at the end and joined the other idiots in getting complacent. This was a team loss, through and through, if I ever saw one. One of the more embarrassing losses you'll see, IMHO.

The Staal turnover was so mind-numbingly horrid, you'd think that the team would settle down and at least get it to overtime and take it from there. Henrik didn't give them that chance with a save he used to make 99 times out of 100

 

[ImIdaho]

I don't blame him entirely for the loss but God damn bet that I blame his ass for that 3rd goal.

Doesn't come into play if:

1.) Boston gets called for too many men;

2.) Staal doesn't do that boneheaded pass.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Dont be mad, we suck. Sucks

This team doesn't suck at all. They are mediocre without another goalscorer on the squad besides Nash.

 

[Ragnarok14]

Marc Staal sucks.

Rangers luck is terrible. One play turned a top shutdown D into a one eyed pylon.

 

[RangersHank*]

Is it safe to say our center depth is back to a ? mark?

 

[KingP]

Honestly, he's looked tired and depressed since the season has started. The Rangers play seems to be literally killing the poor guy.

he knows he needs to save everything or we wont win. think about that pressure
