Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Caps: Pick your 3 stars (even Nash if you want, I can't stop you)

[Machinehead]

Poll incoming.

Caps get their obligatory goal from a trash player. At least this time it wasn't Chimera or Oleksy.

Great job, team.

edit: don't wanna rustle any more jimmies

Trade Nash for prospects and picks.

Fire AV.

Buyout Richie.

Start over. Get young, hard working player with some grit and skill.

Blow up the country club.

Before we get going on goalies (well, I guess I'm getting it going), Talbot still maintained a save percentage of .900, which Lundqvist has failed to do in 6 out of his last 7 games.

Who cares? He gave up a **** goal and the team crumbled top. Did you give Joba props when he had 10+ strikeouts but gave up 4 in the first inning?

OK. That doesn't change the fact that Talbot was terribad on 2 of the 3 goals, and even the one that didn't go in.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Great job, team.

Yeah...

****** teams should not have any slogans or any screenshots that can be held against them later.

Glad we waited three days for another loss.

At least AO didn't get anything. He's not getting to 50/50 imo.

Dominate the play, don't score, Caps score make it 2-1, Girardi bangs one off the post, caps score make it 3-2.

Jumped up when Kreider was in at the end thinking he was going to bury it, and he passed to no one.

 

[RangersHank*]

too*.

Yup. Talbot at least gave the team a chance to win. Gotta start him next time as well. Too bad the offence cannot score more than 2 goals.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Effort was there for the most part. But some inconsistency with the lines. I think we got to blow up the Nash/Step/Krieder line. Its just not producing with any consistency anymore.

 

[Raspewtin]

I will trade that sack of garbage Nash for literally anything right now.

 

[KingP]

****

 

[mike14]

Pretty annoying game. I thought we outplayed them 5 on 5. Talbot, who's a backup, let in some backup tender goals and we got pipped at the post.

Overall a pretty good showing with a crappy result

 

[Idlerlee]

Rick Nash is a beacon of this entire Franchise.
Richards with 0 shots and 20 minutes TOI..wtf is that.
Lets not use Pouliot who deflects everything he sees into the goal lately
Aaaand lets by all means bench Zucc and play big names instead. Good plan

 

[ajdj10]

Nash was the only player who showed up tonight.
...
I think...

This game isn't about Lundqvist, yet somehow, the third post is ******** on Lundqvist. From a psychological perspective, everyone who ***** on Henrik is doing so because of their disappointment this season, especially at the start with the disaster of a road trip. When the disappointment is pretty severe and the team is losing in ways we haven't seen in a long time, something has to give because here's all this blame and after every **** player has had their share, all this left over blame went to Lundqvist who deserves it at times but ever since it's been a reflexive response from some fans to just shove it on Henrik.

Talbot had a bad game.... we lost........ BUT HENRIK IS STILL ****. LOLOL LOOK AT ME!

I know, but people said that the goal 'proves why he's not a starter' and 'why he's been in the AHL his whole career'

Richards was a bit part of or PP goal

He isnt a starter regardless or what you think

 

[Machinehead]

I screwed up the poll. Pick one star I guess.

 

[Raspewtin]

I'm the first to parade a moral victory but not tonight.

Need wins.

I think trading Nash makes us better now, with addition by subtraction.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Omg, that Rangerstown pic

Someone mentioned the possibility of making a trade. I hope it's not trading Del Zotto in a panic move. With Stralman now potentially out, we can't afford to lose another defenseman.

ha! please. As invisible as Nash has been, he's essentially left out to dry just like he was in Columbus. What's the difference? It's a plan for success to hinge all your scoring on one top 3 forward?

The opposition is all over him every game. Shut down Nash. Shut down the Rangers. just like Gaborik and Jagr before him.

 

[Chaels Arms]

It's mind boggling how Mats Zuccarello can come onto this team and instantly understand what Vignault is trying to do and capitalize on the chance to show his offensive skills but Rick Nash, supposedly a skilled player in his own right, looks totally lost.
