Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs Bishop and Friends

[Doctyl]

guys like Ben Bishop should face suspensions for actions like tonight. The flop and throw your head back. I thought the NHL wanted to go after diving??

only if they play for the rangers.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

watching that Kucherov goal, Del Zotto and Moore are really bad defensemen.

Nah, I don't know what Lundqvist is doing allowing a guy to go on a breakaway right off the faceoff. Can we buy him out?

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Can someone tell Brassard to win a god damn faceoff? 27% this game.

 

[trilobyte]

It wasn't a full effort tonight, there were some passengers.
I don't normally blame refereeing but that was pretty dismal.

Can't score, won't win. That is true.

 

[ArPanet]

If the Rangers ever again are in a game 7 in the Stanley Cup finals the refs will be Chris Rooney and Ian Walsh.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

One penalty that aggravated me was Bishop's trip on Zucc. Garbage play.

The risk-reward is pretty weighted in favor of him doing that, it was a heads-up play. If he gets called, oh well, it's 6-on-4 but they're allowed to ice the puck

Yeah, that too

Luckily we have the Callahan interview to provide insight.

"Well we played a good game but sometimes you just gotta get pucks deep".

What about the poor officiating?

"Well they officiated a poor game but sometimes you just gotta get pucks deep".

i mean we could but that would be really dumb as it would screw over our cap and we would have a guy whos played what 12 games as our starter.

The boring goalies will always be the best goalies. Thank Patrick Roy for starting the whole damn thing. Alot of respect for his talent but I'm sorry he murdered the position.

It's just like Markstrom. Florida would win the cup if that scrub (I know he's a first round draft pick but he is not very good right now) played the Rangers every game. So frustrating.

 

[trilobyte]

Trips a guy as he cuts around the net with speed.

Real class, Bishop.

 

[Cake or Death]

Lol at blaming the refs. How about score more than one goal? They had a few power plays in the end and failed, simple as that. Tampa also trapped the **** outta the Rangers in the third. Blaming the refs? Gimme a break, typical hf excuse ********. Team lacks finishers

Who's ****ing blaming the refs? People are pointing out that they missed a **** ton of calls. Did you watch a different ****ing game and think the refs were spot on?

 

[Bardof425*]

We were not outplayed. Bishop was better than Hank (will he ever stop a breakaway again?). they got some good bounces, some posts and Brian Boyle is an embarassment in all things that involve handling a puck. He was worse tonight than normal; felt bad for D. Moore and Carcillo tonight.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I'd hate Bishop a little less if he wasn't 6'8'12".

Horrendous refs.

just gotta get pucks deep

He will be down in the ECHL before too long. Seems every year there is a superhuman season from some career scrub. Looks like its Bennies turn

Law of averages say Hank will stop one soon; I'm starting to think maybe not.

 

[Fataldogg]

This is the "what else is new edition".

Rangers dominate the other team but can't score. What else is new?

The refs royally screw the Rangers. What else is new?

Del Zotto is brainless. What else is new?

Lundqvist can't stop a ****ing breakaway. What else is new?

Nash and Stepan are invisible. What else is new?

We have the Nash, Stepan, and Lundqvist from last year, we probably win this in regulation. 3 players that carried the team last year have redefined mediocrity.

In fairness, Nash has been dynamite the last couple games. Can't always expect him to do that. And tonight, Lundqvist didn't come up with a big save on the breakaway, but he only gave up two. And he came up with plenty of other quality saves When you let up two goals, you give your team a chance to win. Rangers just couldn't find a way to get it done.

I think Stepan has been brutal all season. I think AV should have a nice chat with him, and bench him a game to send a message. I'm really upset with how he has played this year. He's on pace to have his least productive season of his career, including his rookie year.

How he made team USA is beyond me. He has genuinely been poor all season.

 

[Holocene]

I like all the Tampa fans voting in our poll for Bishop.

well we have lucked out with 8 superhuman seasons from an echl scrub. TALBOTS BETTER!!!!!!

such awful...awful reffing.

wasnt even the BS call on Cally...the sheer amount of non calls i saw were ridiculous.

Obligatory Bardof on Boyle post. Now it's a GDT. I feel honored.

Every post in here is blaming the refs I'm sick of it, so the refs missed some calls wah wah wah cry me a river, score more than one goal, 2 key power plays in the third, guess you forgot about them

I know you think that you ar being clever, but you are missing the point. A goalie is paid to stop the puck, regardless of the situation. There are times when a goalie has no chance, but this was not one of them. If you can't see that Hank misplayed that badly, start watching basketball.
