GDT: Rangers @ Canadiens Pt. II |Game 5| 5/27/14

[Holocene]

Outside of game 7 Flyers, I don't recall them having a great 2nd. They've been on their heels a lot.

Because we've been leading or tied in most 2nd periods.

They got to realize that's the past. New game here. New life. Get that next goal and put the pressure on this team.

They aren't. I don't know why/how so many of you guys hear "anti-Ranger" sentiment out of the NBC crew. I bet if we go ask Devil fans they'll probably say that the crew is blatantly favoring the Rangers. The truth is that it's somewhere in the middle the problem is that everyone is biased and only hears what they want to hear.

I think people get used to hearing the pro-Ranger tinge of Sam, Joe, Kenny and Dave and anything else can suddenly feel like favoritism in the other direction. I feel like these guys have been fairly neutral.

You can only pick him up so many times

Good joke. I'll just pretend that was your intent and move on with my night.

 

[Xref]

We need a wicked strong 2nd period. Got to up the passion level, we were much too passive in the 1st.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Awful.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

You would figure that MTL is going to come out guns blazing, in an elimination game, on home ice.

To only be down 1 goal is good. Their emotions are going to get the best of them.

We should not be down a goal though. If not for 2 nearly identical horrible goals and one super lucky save this game would be 1-1. We got better towards the end but it's really disheartening to see that 2nd goal at a TERRIBLE time too. I also don't have faith in this team to score. They're just not a good offensive team.

 

[Dalagaze]

Can believe Olczyk was a Ranger he cant stand them it seems

He still has his panties in a bunch over not getting ice time in 94.

We aren't even here without his performances in games 5, 6, & 7 against the Pens. Get off it.

 

[Bullseyes]

Lundqvist has picked the Rangers up many times. More times than the Rangers have picked him up.

It was a bad goal that he needs to save. He deserved to be criticized for it, but no need to go that far.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Not if we get 4...

That happened already too often this series ...

I can't really afford staying up for a loss ... selfish I know, sorry

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Dumb Kreider penalty and bad goal by Hank aside, I thought we were actually pretty solid in that period IMO. We can do this. Keep the faith. No one said it'd be easy and we are the New York Rangers.

Let's do this.

 

[Florida Ranger]

You guys seem so sensitive over any criticism about the Rangers. Olczyk is pretty fair. So is McGuire - if we're not playing the Pens.

 

[Tundra]

Stop ripping on Lundqvist. He saved your bacon in the Pitt series, especially game 7.

 

[nevesis]

They're nervous knowing this is the game they can clinch. Habs came out strong, elimination game, home crowd, etc.

Hopefully the nerves have subsided a bit and they can go back to playing their game.

Outside of Eddie, they've been fine. Doc only gets biased when the Devils are playing.

I thought Eddie was fine calling out the Kreider penalty 20 seconds into a new game after they took 8 last game. Also, Pierre basically said he has no idea why the Habs were arguing the call on them.

They have been. Well, Milbury hates both teams so he's definitely not favoring either team, Jonesy is always unbiased. He may be wrong with some of his analysis but I've never thought to myself "wow this guy hates the Rangers!!!!". Liam doesn't have an opinion and Pierre loves everyone.

So if the Rangers win will you eat crow?

My god... the Devils fan is the voice of reason.

I'm going to go spontaneously combust now

 

[trilobyte]

This game is not causing me near the stress that game 4 did.

Rangers will come back in this, they just didn't get started right away.

i think it's a bit early to throw the guy under a bus cause of one goal. he's been playing lights out for the best part of two series now. he's only human. he's the most consistent ranger on the ice. goalies give up softies from time to time.

 

[nevesis]

Lets go.

Devils or Flyers.
