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

[BB58]

The NHL and team owners sure make more money if a series goes longer...

It wouldnt surprise me if there is some psuedo-rigging going on.

 

[Nickmo82]

i have the intermission muted but checked back mid-nash interview. was the guy giving him bad news or something?

 

[GordonGecko]

Yes, but lundqvist has played well despite the other players up until tonight. I wonder what is wrong with him?

This is actually a typical game for Hank in Montreal, the other 2 games were outliers. He's just cursed there for some reason

 

[Clausewitz]

The guy is ****ing garbage defensively. A great shot and flopping is apparently all you need to win a norris

I don't know how someone can pick him over Karlsson for the Norris. Picking Subban means picking offense -- and there's no offensive defenseman better than Karlsson.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

As crazy as this might sound, maybe there's some other forces at play behind the scenes? I just don't believe we are that bad defensively.... I think there might be some serious betting action going on here...I'm not normally one for conspiracies,but this is just too crazy...

The NHL and team owners sure make more money if a series goes longer...

Wow. If you guys are even halfway serious with this, why even watch?

Or not.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The NHL treats subban better than Crosby IMO. yes he is a great player but you cant even breathe on him without going to the box

I'll go a step further. He couldn't shine Crosby's shoes. Subban is so ****ing overrated. His offensive capabilities are great, but he's a defenseman. His defense is awful for a player that some rank as one of the best defenseman in the league.

Add to it that he's so ****ing unlikeable. He's a cheater and a whiner.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Kreider has the quietest 4 point game ever. He'll have 5 by the end of the night.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

3rd periods are our jams. We got this. Put em away.

 

[RangersFan]

Poo-Brass-Zucc is due for a goal

 

[FLNYR]

Four goals on 16 shots? Better shoot from everywhere.

Yes the % is insanely high but we're still losing so shoot the damn puck!!

 

[BlaqICE]

Pulling a goalie in a situation like this is a psychological move to the REST of your team. They will play better knowing Talbot is back there.

It's tough to explain, but it sparks a team into playing differently when their head is stuck in their ass from the start.

This guy gets it.

 

[Oak]

Well yeah, until they turn around and fall for it again when Subban dives.

Ya but that was as masterful of an acting job as you can get by what PK did there. The guy has spidey senses when it comes to diving.

 

[JCrusher*]

I'll go a step further. He couldn't shine Crosby's shoes. Subban is so ****ing overrated. His offensive capabilities are great, but he's a defenseman. His defense is awful for a player that some rank as one of the best defenseman in the league.

I agree. Crosby is the best player in the league despite his diving. Subban has a terrific shot but he isnt realy a good D-man

 

[tbonenc*]

Yup, totally agree. Maybe the Rangers will be more responsible in their own end in front of Talbot like they were during the season and get one to tie it up.

Meh, not so sure about putting too much blame on the D.
Tonight, Hank laid an egg, plain and simple.
Keep in mind that this is the ECF and our opponent is pretty good. There are going to be turnovers, but your goalie needs to make those stops.
Hank had an off night, so he gets the hook.

 

[z1co80]

I don't know what to think here.

It could be a 7-5 win or an 8-4 loss i just don't know with this team.

 

[Super Cake]

Hank was on a boat all memorial day weekend he needs another day to get back into focus.

 

[eKardz]

I'll go a step further. He couldn't shine Crosby's shoes. Subban is so ****ing overrated. His offensive capabilities are great, but he's a defenseman. His defense is awful for a player that some rank as one of the best defenseman in the league.

I can't stand subban either, but he's hard to totally hate. He really is super classy post game.

 

[nevesis]

“@AGrossRecord: Talbot remains in net to start the third period. Why not?â€

Good.

 

[BB58]

I don't know what to think here.

It could be a 7-5 win or an 8-4 loss i just don't know with this team.

That missed opp. by Hagelin was huge. If they lose this game, they'll look back at that.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Rick Nash just made love to me with his eyes.

Did you resist, or did you give in to his gaze. Capitulate, as his eyes...

 

[JCrusher*]

Our defensemen havent been good especially Staal BUT Hank was as bad as you can be. Big Hank fan but he wasnt stopping anything

 

[LeetchisGod]

Kreider has the quietest 4 point game ever. He'll have 5 by the end of the night.

He's a third line jobber according to a random habs fan.

 

[AKrangerfan]

Any chance the ref's see the Subban dive in intermission and give us a make up call?

 

[member 116805]

Come on boys, win this god damned game!

LGR!
