GDT: Rangers/Pens part 2

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Wouldn't mind it if we could unload Callahan(he doesn't fit in this system), Nash, Richards and De Zotto, I'm sure these guys are good fits with someone. We need to change this culture FAST

If we're doing that, we should unload AV too and get an actual coach.

 

[McD27]

The goals were 5 feet from the net......

Maybe that's where we missed torts system..it's the quality of the chances

I eat crow..I hated torts system but I really think now with this group it was the on,y way to win

 

[Ghost of jas]

yeah crosby was so brave right there. what a tough player.

C'mon, remember how tough he was that time he punched someone in the nutsack?

 

[slipknottin]

I gave up watching what did Crosby do?

Tackled mcdonagh

 

[RangersHank*]

I think we are more mad because Hank has **** the bed nearly every start this year.

Nahh, Crosby owned the defense. Sucks right?

 

[Cassano]

Because nobody is allowed to hit back

Because they may be intimidated. Crosby is a pretty tough guy. He probably has the best strength/conditioning throughout the league.

What? He backs down every single time. The only time he ever actually tried to fight anyone was Giroux. Who is even smaller than him. And he ended up wrestling giroux too.

He does this stupid bear hug thing and punches guys in the butt.

Who tried to fight him before? When did he back down?

It's the same reason people don't want Nash fighting Lucic. Why should Crosby put himself at risk?

Of course he can act like a tough guy, he knows no one on his team or the refs are gonna let him get his ass beat so he takes liberty's with everyone. That's not a tough guy. That's a bully. A cry baby bully at that **** him.

I'm sure if the roles were reversed, McDonagh would receive oodles of praise.

Crosby rarely gets targeted in the first place since he's always thinking the game ahead of everyone. No one can match his pace.

yeah crosby was so brave right there. what a tough player.

Agreed, he stood up for himself there.

Zukes now leads the team in goals and assists.

 

[Baby Punisher]

100%. Anybody blaming Lundqvist for these goals just doesn't have any idea about the defensive side of the game. Just like AV.

Hank was out of position for at least 2 of those goals. An argument could be made for 3.

 

[The Gloaming]

That was pathetic. The GDT was about as bad as the game. That says a lot.

Ignore list go three names longer. Should have been done a long time ago.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Zukes now leads the team in goals and assists.

Moving forward, Zucc may very well be over version of St. Louis.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Hank was out of position for at least 2 of those goals. An argument could be made for 3.

No, an argument can be made for ONE.

The other 4 goals were because AV can't coach a defense.

 

[slipknottin]

Too bad the Blues dont play tonight, need to watch an actual team slap someone around.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Saying none of these goals are Lundqvist's "fault" is like saying it's not a pitcher's fault if he gives up lots of home runs in a band box.

You're paid to make saves, play like a Vezina winner and be the same guy youve been for the previous 8 seasons.

The team excuse is weak. The Rangers have always been weak up front and relied on Lundqvist to be their saving grace.

The guy just flat out sucks this year. Yup, so does the rest of the team.

You think it's impossible for Lundqvist to stop the pucks he's letting in?

Stop. He's been doing it for years. Watch the Buffalo series in 2007, the Devils series in 2008, the Washington series in 2009, the Ottawa series in 2011 and the Caps series last year.

The guy is the best at standing on his head to make up for the weakness skating in front of him.

There's no excuse. he says he's healthy. He's definitely rested. He's got a new contract so there goes the theory that his UFA status was bugging him.

The guy just sucks this year and he's a liability. It happens. It happened to Seaver. It happened to Mattingly. It's happening to Eli. Stop making excuses for him. He'll snap out of it, but right now he needs to be benched.

dis season 4 u!

No, not at all. Thats a laughable position to take.

 

[ImIdaho]

Who tried to fight him before? When did he back down?

Dubinsky?

 

[Baby Punisher]

Nahh, Crosby owned the defense. Sucks right?

Crosby didn't score all 5 goals.

 

[trilobyte]

I am not 'mad' at Crosby.
Good lord, Crosby did not beat the Rangers. The Rangers beat themselves by being a bunch of 80 percenters tonight.
A couple of guys gave it their all, and the rest just were out there for a paycheque.
****ing disgusting watching the lack of real commitment after a good rest.

 

[SlingshotVv]

Did you guys just see the replay of the 5th goal from the blueline cam? If you didn't, rewind it right now. Watch Boyle's play. I mean, he didn't go to the puck when it came from the boards and allowed it to get chipped behind the net, then with Crosby coming out front fmr behind the goal line he goes for a stick check instead of body'ng up.

Oh.my.God. That has to be the worst effort I've ever seen

 

[Baby Punisher]

No, an argument can be made for ONE.

The other 4 goals were because AV can't coach a defense.

Dude, you are blind with hank love. Av isn't playing the game. These guys have no clue what is going on. Hank isn't good enough this year to bail us out like he has in the past. Accept it & move on.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Also, this was by far the worst game of the season since getting drubbed by 7 or however many goals by SJ.

people trying to pain the best player in the world as some puss weakling is ridiculous. sid curb stomped every single one of our guys tonight and would probably tougher than anyone on this team.

You're comparing the position of an NHL goalie to a MLB starting pitcher? I stopped reading after that.

PGT is up.

No **** he's playing bad.

If you think the goals tonight were entirely his fault you're an idiot.
