Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Devils | 3/19/13 | No Marty, No Fun :(

Good game. Good win. Mostly happy with the effort. Some same complaints linger, about dumping the puck too much, having poor breakout, etc. but these issues are things that are not nearly worth getting worked up about when the team shows up and works. That's all I want. We got that tonight. Liked the last two games. Just wish we could see some consistency now. Prior tonight 'Canes game they were looking awful again and all the hopes I had that they'd figured it out, gotten their legs and were turning it around was lost. Now these last two they're playing with heart and looking better again. The inconsistency is my only gripe for now. Unrelated to the teams play and regardless of win or lose, I just have to vent the following:

Brad Richards absolutely HAS to go. Period. Don't care WHAT he does at this point. He is DONE. He could go on a nice little streak starting next game. He could put up a 5 point night. I don't care. Nothing will redeem him. He's finished. I LOVED him in his Lightning days and I wanted him when he was in Dallas, years before we actually became interested bidders and it seemed likely we'd trade for him or sign him. I always listed him as a favorite of mine before he arrived in NY and as a kid I used to trade for him to be my #1C, regardless of what team I used, in like 90% of my video game franchises. I always was a big time fan. I was badly underwhelmed by him last season, but content with some clutchness and still respectable numbers, and I thought he might further acclimate to the team and really flourish with a guy like Nash. Now... I literally couldn't hate him more at this point. I want him to go elsewhere just so I can hope he loses. When he gets a point now, it annoys me. I can't ****ing stand him. I hate his stupid buck toothed face. I hate that he wears an A. I simply can't stand him

That's a bingo.
 
Someone needs to make a slow motion gif of Rick Nash staring into your eyes seductively with some funny **** in the background, calling all creative people...

You rule for this. Could not agree any more. Perfectly stated, and quoted for mother****ing TRUTH. :handclap::yo:

Why I spend very little time on my teams board.:shakehead
 
Lundqvist was a beast like many times against the Devils during his career. Any Devils fan who says no is bitter. We haven't seen a goaltender like Lundqvist nearly as good as him in a month other than Price who is up there, but not quite. At least the Piles lost!:laugh::laugh:
 
King Henrik gets us a total of 4 points for us over the last two days. He's been great these last two games.

And Gaborik invisible? What talk is this? I watched every minute of the game, and honestly, he played a solid game. Generated several scoring chances, had a few missed opportunities, but overall... he was one of the better forwards tonight.

I didn't think Richards was terrible either. He missed a few chances, but he at least played a decent game.

The hate on these two, even if they play well, is ridiculous IMO.

Hell... the hate Lundqvist gets for letting in two goals, one that was a ridiculous deflection, at points is ridiculous. Ranger fans are trying to convince themselves that Lundqvist has been average this season... then I go to the numbers... see a 2.23 GAA and .922SV% and see that there are only 5 STARTERS in the NHL with a higher SV% then him... and just think they're silly. But that is literally the criticism Henrik gets after letting in just a single goal. Way too many knee jerk reactions on the NYR forum.

Yeah. I don't want anything back for him. I'm not gonna clamor for Slats to go and spend the money saved by buying him out on another big name. I just want him off the roster.
