GDT: Rangers @ Kings Pt. III |Game 1| 6/4/14

[BB58]

Staal's ice time needs to be reduced.

 

[trilobyte]

Rangers have been doing a lot of things right here.
Get back to offensive pressure. i know it's not easy, who said it would be easy?

 

[Wraparounds]

We need this. Be more like we were in the 1st.

 

[Xref]

OK, it's Marty's time to lead the way. LET'S GRAB THIS!!!!!!!

 

[aufheben]

We have a big problem if this discrepancy in energy has anything to do with fatigue... 5 days off.

I think the problem is more mental, they're trying to force everything. Need to keep it simple like they did in the first. By the way, the Kings get away with a TON.

 

[Raspewtin]

No way do we deserve this game.

If we win, most of the whole team owes Hank dinner.

Give me a ****ing break. It was one bad period.

 

[member 116805]

20 missed shots, ugh

 

[nasmis]

I hate when people say "we dont deserve to win". Besides a few dumb mistakes teh rangers have played a good game. the kings have had some good breaks otherwise we would ahve won this game

Agreed. We were unlucky not to lead big after the first, and we were lucky to escape that third period, but we always deserve to win

 

[BB58]

Kings have been getting away with interference throughout the playoff series.

 

[nevesis]

Gotta shoot SHORT SIDE on Quick...he's weak there.

 

[JCrusher*]

Sometimes you have to give credit to teh other team i mean they are a really good team.

It's been a whole other level of intensity. I've seen energy jump between conference finals and stanley cup finals, but this is ridiculous.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Rangers really need to practice odd-man rushes.

 

[broadway514]

No matter who scores in OT Hank deserves that damn hat. Sweet Fancy Moses he's been unreal.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Give me a ****ing break. It was one bad period.

True facts here.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Give me a ****ing break. It was one bad period.

They weren't great in the 2nd period, though.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I doubt we can play this OT as bad as that 3rd period.

 

[Raspewtin]

I'm still fuming at how much Nash has ****ed up. Literally fuming.

 

[ltrangerfan]

Half the game belonged to us, and the other half belonged to LA.

Unfortunately I am left questioning whether the Kings adjusted to the Rangers game in the second half. If true this will be a short series.

My hope... the Rangers come back and wind up stealing game 1 to give themselves a much needed 1 game cushion.

 

[Fataldogg]

I'd argue that over the course of the game we've had the better overall chances.

I'd tend to agree. But you don't deserve to be on the board when you only register three shots, even if two of them were good opportunities.

The shots need to be there in higher quantity. I'm all about quality over quantity, but if you can only register three shots all period, thats bad.

No shots in the first ten minutes? Come on, that's embarassing.

 

[SRTtoZ]

What happened to Staal? He looks amateur.

 

[trilobyte]

Forget about deserve.
Just get the second point.

 

[17futurecap]

Kill off the rest of the pk, and go from there.

 

[AHB*]

It's been a whole other level of intensity. I've seen energy jump between conference finals and stanley cup finals, but this is ridiculous.

Maybe 6 days off was too many. They had a good 30 minute effort.

Need to make it full 60's from here on out regardless of what happens tonight.

 

[Tundra]

Kings have been getting away with interference throughout the playoff series.

When they can set up with their forecheck, they can just choke the living hell out of you.
